  • Great guests and interviews

    If you’re a fan of Wisconsin Sports, this is definitely a great podcast to follow. I was a big fan of Jon while he worked with Mike Heller on a sports talk radio show in Madison. For whatever reason, the station let Jon go, and my favorite sports talk show was no longer. I was happy to see Jon land on his feet with this podcast. I love the variety of guests and Jon is always good natured while asking interesting and insightful questions. Definitely worth your time to listen!
