  • Love these guys!

    I’m an Iowa grad and no longer live in Iowa. I stumbled on these guys looking for more Hawkeye material, and I absolutely love this show! Great dynamic between the hosts. I listen every day. If you are looking for sports talk, Iowa or Iowa State talk, Kansas City Chiefs, or even Hockey this is the place.
