  • Review of Audacy’s upload practice

    Let me start by saying Spegiel and Holmes get a 5 star review from me as a show. Subscribe and listen because Laurence is the level headed voice of Chicago sports to me. Matt is pretty ok too.

    My problem and the reason for my 3 star review is with the way Audacy takes 1 show which lasts 4 hours with commercials on the radio(about 2.5 hours of content) and uploads it multiple times in multiple different lengths. It throws off my “Up Next” queue. You get the (full show) upload, EACH of the 4 ind... more

Those same guests all have their own podcasts and can say whatever they want without fear of being fired for saying the slightest thing that isn’t 100% PC so I listen to those now. Mark Grote, Chris Rongey are two fill-in hosts who should actually have their o... more
