  • Nice Addition

    Drew’s interviews are nice addition to the show. I really enjoyed hearing from Frank Pomarico, and the Ivan Maisel episode was also excellent. Looking forward to more.

  • Basketball

    Can we please for the love of god stop talking about basketball. I get it you’re trying to fill time but I’d rather have the podcast be 10 minutes shorter than listen to basketball talk. If you have to continue talking about basketball, at least put it in the end and warn us so we can swipe out.

  • Best ND coverage around

    Priester, Sampson and O’mally are tops when it comes to ND football coverage. Look forward to this podcast weekly. Had to come back to add John Bryce to that list. A+++
