  • What a show

    I had been watching PTI on television for more than 10 years and one day I stumbled across the podcast on Apple iTunes. That changed how I consume the show - no longer attached to the 5:30 to 6 timeslot, now I am able to listen to the show at my leisure. A great product with flexibility on consumption - What a show!!

    Tony and Wilbon are the best. Insightful, informative and very opinionated. One of the last remaining shows that will stand the test of time. Happy time people!

  • Speak up!

    Love Tony and Mike, but not the producer. On the Itunes (yeah, some people still use it) platform the ads are 3 times as loud as the show. Very obnoxious. Thanks!
