  • Jon Galt needs better co hosts

    Jon Galt = 5 star reporter

    Robert Johnson = 0 star

    Weldon Johnson = 1 star

    This could be a great pod if they didn’t tell Robert when they were recording or if they just found Jon a co host who actually does some research and doesn’t say ridiculous (often offensive to the athletes) things all show.

  • Enjoy but has playback errors

    Love the podcasts but often the show will skip back and replay sections of the podcast. Can’t tell if it’s an error on my end or if they somehow are uploading the shows poorly. Doesn’t happen with other podcasts I listen to.
