  • 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

    All they need to do to make this a 5 star program is hire someone to properly edit. The ads are placed right in the middle of conversations and are ridiculously loud compared to the extremely quiet dialogue. It takes spending money to make a decent show

  • 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

Talking Points

Recent interactions between the hosts and their guests.

Brock Purdy vs. Sam Darnold: Warren Moon Breaks Down the Quarterback Matchup
Q: What has stood out about Sam Darnold adjusting to Seattle's offense without Kenneth Walker and with the new scheme?
Moon explains that there is familiarity due to Brian Ferrelly's prior work with Sam, and that the offenses share similarities; Darnold's comfort with the play-caller and his weapons is showing as he adapts to Seattle's system.
Brock Purdy vs. Sam Darnold: Warren Moon Breaks Down the Quarterback Matchup
Q: So how do you view this coaching matchup this weekend up in Seattle?
Moon notes that both coaches are elite at their respective sides of the ball and that in-division games often hinge on adjustments and making the right play calls in critical moments, with Brock Purdy executing Shanahan's system at a high level.
The 49ers are off to a 4-0 start, can they continue their success in Seattle?
Q: What does Mike Evans allow you to do offensively that you couldn't last year?
Evans provides a unique matchup with size and route variety, allowing Shanahan to move receivers around and create mismatches; his presence helps open up the offense and keeps defenses guessing about where the ball will go.
What Will Decide 49ers vs. Seahawks? Brock Purdy vs Seattle's Defense and Sunday's Big Test In Seattle
Q: What concerns you more for the 49ers—offense vs. Seattle defense or the 49ers defense vs. Seattle offense?
The concern is more about the 49ers' ability to control the line of scrimmage and sustain their run game against Seattle's pressure looks, while also relying on Purdy to stay clean and efficient against a varied defense.
What Will Decide 49ers vs. Seahawks? Brock Purdy vs Seattle's Defense and Sunday's Big Test In Seattle
Q: McDonald has had a lot of success against Kyle Shanahan and Brock Purdy; how do you view this coach matchup this weekend up in Seattle?
The two coaches are among the best at their craft, and the game will come down to execution, timing, and who can make the critical plays in the second half; Shanahan and Purdy have shown strong continuity, which is an advantage.
