Content is great but podcast will not play properly, randomly restarts, won’t skip ahead and other weird stuff. Seems kind of crazy at this point, never come across another podcast that just won’t play.
Of all of the sports you could follow, BASEBALL is what you’ve chosen?
Podcast now will not play at full speed, does not work when being streamed without downloading it. Video also causes it to download slow. I listened to this podcast everyday for a few years. Unless they remove the video I will not be listening again. Thanks for ruining a good thing
No more Starkville in the R&B feed please!
i don’t think jed brings anything to the table sorry
