  • Outstanding Behind the Scenes Sports Pod

    My new favorite podcast. Interesting, insightful and Jeff doesn’t pull any punches. Also, love the HBO Series - “Winning Time” based on his book Showtime - Magic, Kareem, Riley, and the Los Angeles Lakers Dynasty of the 1980s”.

  • Will the Shrill

    I love the show. Having witnessed Mr. Clark ignore and make fun of people who were asking for an autograph in Milwaukee in the 90’s. I think that your first instinct was correct. I appreciate the dedication to his kid however, he was a jerk for a long time before he was a dad

  • More Than a Sports Podcast…Much More

    After every podcast I come away a little more informed, a little more enlightened and a greater desire to know more. Mr. Pearlman knows the devil is in the details and lures us in with the minutiae. An amazing writing with a true gift. Keep ‘em coming.

  • Love everything Pearlman touches

    Amazing storytelling, per usual with Pearlman. Every episode blends great sports stories with humanity that makes the characters and listeners connect, even in the stories you feel you already know.
