  • This Beat Has No Rhythm

    Doesn’t keep up with news. Doesn’t keep up with games. Doesn’t keeps up with moves. Focuses on the same topics as everyone else but days later with a lot of small talk and tired jokes.

  • Probably the best Kings podcast out there

    Most level headed Kings podcast out there. They post regularly during the season and the episodes are a nice length. It seems like they have a bit more access to the players so there is a lot less speculation going on.

  • Inconsistent

  • Would be 5 stars

    Love the pod and the content all three of you produce on all platforms. Only reason this isn’t 5 stars is because pods are sometimes uploaded a few hours before a game, which discourages me to go back and listen to an episode if I don’t listen to it prior to the game (info is sorta outdated). None the less, great pod. Keep up the great work. Go Kings!
