  • Quality issues

    Decent content, especially when you bring exclusive info from access around the team, but man…the audio and production quality is roughhhh. Voice is hard to listen to. Needs a bunch more polish for this show to be solid

  • Good Listen!

    MK goes back a long way in terms of USC fans go. You may not agree with his opinion, but he gives you more than enough reasoning for you to understand it. I’ve been listening since the Helton era. I’m not going anywhere. #FightOn

  • Enjoy the show but the audio is beyond bad

    Taking a break from the show. I listen to podcasts every day and have never seen a podcaster refuse to fix their microphone or other audio issues.

  • Great Podcast (even with the sound issues)

    Found this pod recently and I really enjoy hearing it, but I don’t know if it’s just me, but for some reason, the guests that appear on the show (not Marc) have like a weird “digital echo” as they speak. I’m not sure what else to call it…it’s like digital garbled sounds as they speak. Makes it a bit tough to listen to. Maybe it’s just me. Not sure.

    Fight on!
