  • Turn the hosts/guests volume up

    KNBR has this issue for a long time with the hosts and the guests being way too quiet. I listen to the radio, other podcasts, lots of different types of media and it’s always ONLY KNBR where I have to turn my speakers waaaaaay up to hear it properly.

  • Terrible editing

  • Obnoxious ads / Amateur sound editing

    I listen for some guests. The hosts are inconsistent. Annoying ads 89% of the time.

    Cumulus is actively ruining the station.

    Have begun ranking other Cumulus podcasts that intrude with 1 star based on absurdly earpiercing screaming banshee voices and interruptions.

    The worst part is that the guests I want to listen are often calling in by phone and the staff in the radio booth are not professional enough to balance out the audio levels. Combine this with the horrible Cumulus ads and their awf... more

Recent interactions between the hosts and their guests.

What Went Wrong for the 49ers? Falcons Upset Sparks Tough Questions
Q: So what was your breakdown in your review from the offensive line, Tim?
Ryan says the line created running lanes and generally gave Purdy time, though Connor Colby had challenges and interior pressure contributed to a key sack. He also notes that the depleted receiving group struggled to separate against man coverage.
What Went Wrong for the 49ers? Falcons Upset Sparks Tough Questions
Q: So between the turnovers, the penalties, or the special teams problems, which one of those are the biggest concern to you moving forward?
Ryan identifies the offensive turnovers as the biggest concern, calling them the most important statistic in pro football. He expects the defense's penalties to improve and says the team also needs rest and healthier players.
49ers Fall to Falcons: What Went Wrong and What's Next After the Bye Week?
Q: Would you trade for a wide receiver or a defensive lineman?
Husak favors a defensive lineman, saying the returning receivers should improve the passing game while a stronger defensive front could stop the run and pressure quarterbacks.
49ers Fall to Falcons: What Went Wrong and What's Next After the Bye Week?
Q: How much did the short week, the east coast travel and the 10 a.m. body-clock start affect the 49ers' performance?
Husak says the late start and travel affected the team's schedule, and the defense did not create the pressure, sacks or turnovers it had produced in recent weeks.
49ers vs. Falcons Breakdown With Tim Ryan: Turnovers, Penalties and Missed Opportunities
Q: What was your breakdown or review from the offensive line, Tim?
Ryan says the line opened running lanes and generally performed well, though Connor Colby had challenges and an interior breakdown contributed to the fourth-down sack. He also points to the receivers' lack of separation against man coverage and Purdy's limited scrambling.
