Reviews

4.3 out of 5 stars from 44 ratings
  • Great content, terrible production

    The content is great and Mike Benton does a great job. Unfortunately, the production takes away from it and makes it hard to listen to. The sound mix is often off, they play music over the beginning of conversations, and the ads get spliced in the middle of conversations. Also, why are people calling in for interviews? What century are we in? Use Zoom or Teams so we can understand the person being interviewed.

  • Ad issues

    I like the content but the ads are awful. There are way too many of them and their placement is terrible. They seem to be interjected randomly. Some times in the middle of a sentence. Please fix these issues.

  • Postgame show podcast rules!

    Mike Benton is a terrific host. Love being able to relive games the next morning— podcasting the postgame show is genius. Love listening and reliving the action as part of my 5am morning coffee routine.

  • Great podcast! Volume Mixing Issues?

    Is it just me or is there volume very quiet on the podcast? And the commercials come in at random times and they are normal volume and very loud in comparison.

  • Love the content, please fix sound!

    Great analysis and interviews. My only request is please work on the sound mixing. The show audio can be hard to hear only to be blasted with advertisements in the middle of a segment. Let’s Go Kraken!
