  • Good content-bad audio

    I like the Pod, but these technical audio issues are becoming annoying. More often than not there is some kind of issue.

  • Love you, but….

    I listen to every episode as soon as it drops. I genuinely love the podcast, and Nick is definitely a highlight for me.

    What I don’t really appreciate, though, is the occasional “dude-y” tone. It’s 2026, and I (and I’m sure many others) would really value moving away from that locker-room mentality.

    Instead, I’d love to hear more thoughtful analysis — what actually builds a great team? What mental barriers do players face? That kind of depth would take the podcast to the next level.

    Please.
