  • SPEAK INTO THE MIC

    I think the content of the show is great I would love to continue listening but holy cow the sound quality is horrendous! Please hire a producer or just remember, especially the HOST, to speak clearly into the mic! It’s a podcast and I can’t hear or understand half of what is being said.

  • Not worth anymore

    I’m an avid enjoyer of LoL content, and listen to most of my podcast while at work. But it’s getting old and annoying listening to Travis cry about subs and revenue every five minutes. He’ll cut someone off mid sentence to make a dumb point then say “hey, got a twitch prime?” “Idk why my YT videos don’t have high views”.. crying about sub numbers kills a channel faster, try fixing your content and people will stay/join

  • Unique, fantastic podcast

    Hotline League goes above and beyond the typical sports reporting format and thrives as an entertaining discussion show that still manages to hit on all the big news.

  • It is a show

    Conceptually it’s a good idea, but Travis and Mark’s humor sometime comes off as show self sabotage. Definitely feels guest reliant on wether it’s worth a whole episode listen. Sometimes they make excellent points but you got to wade through some really bad takes to get there.
