  • Way too many ads

    Never heard a podcast or even a radio show with so many ads. Gotta pay the bills. I get that. But this is over the top.

  • Ads with a podcast sprinkled in

    I did not realize that I was tuning in to a 55 minute "podcast" for about 25 minutes of content and the rest advertising. I can't get into the podcast at all because it's broken up too much. Don't waste your time

  • Any NASCAR is Good NASCAR

    Love this weekly show. Can't listen live so the podcast is helpful. However, the commercials in between are quite annoying to skip through. Also, what happened to Eli Gold?! Why'd he leave MRN? But anyways, love the drivers and people always on the show.
