  • Andrew does a good job when its not rangers talk

    Love Andrews coverage, he does the best he can under a Lou regime with very little info and access. My only gripe is too much Rangers talk especially when your buddy Colin is on. Most Isles fan loath the Rangers and don’t want to hear about them.

  • Not great

    Too much off topic convos. No one cares about their inside jokes and most of us have busy jobs and lives and want to hear useful analysis. I wish there were more smart podcasts on the Isles like Arthur and AJ’s Belmont podcast. This podcast is so old school that caters to a homogenous old fashioned male crowd and not a diverse audience. May work now for a few but doesn’t work for long term audience growth.m or for a modern and diverse audience
