- Friends talking Illini
Whenever I listen to Jeremy and Joey, I can’t help think if this was 20 years ago, when I was in grad school at UI, sitting at Murphy’s, just talking ball with these guys. It’s not stat-wonky, you can tell Jeremy and Joey are long-suffering, serious Illini fans; it comes across as old buds having a beer and talking about their favorite college team. I’d live for them to do a live pod someday!

Good podcast but Jeremy interrupts too much, especially over Joey. Let him finish. Also talk slower. I’m listening in the car a lot and it’s easy to miss phrases

Thorough content and polished/professional while still being passionate about the teams they cover. I also really appreciate the coverage they have started giving to UI WBB as the program has transformed during the Shauna Green era. Well done across the board!
Apple Podcasts5SaraB22United Statesa year ago - Just a couple of friends, talking Illini
What I LOVE about this pod is how casual it is. Jeremy, Joey, and Derek all come across as friends, just relaxing, talking about their favorite team. I could totally see myself just sitting at bar with any of them, talking about the Illini. The informal nature of Illini Inquirer makes it so much fun for me to listen to.
Apple Podcasts5UMass BandUnited States2 years ago - One The Best
Of all the sports I consume and all the teams I follow, Illini Inquirer provides some of the best coverage of any of them.
The podcast strikes the right balance of covering Illini sports: not cynically pessimistic or disingenuously optimistic.
They are realistic in their outlooks with reasons for concern while also providing reasons to be hopeful.
They do a great job of covering the basketball and football teams even during the off-seasons and don’t fall prey to becoming gimmicky.
