  • Best Husker pod and it’s not close.

    Quality analysis but in a less stuffy tone than the “traditional media” that covers the Huskers. This show makes the recently challenging gig of being a Husker fan MUCH better. Please keep it going and growing!

  • Great Community!

    The podcasts and community are fun, unfiltered, and I love the dissenting opinions being discussed. Not everyone agrees on everything and that’s what makes it great!
