  • Mostly good

    This podcast is great, but was dynamite until Phil left. It definitely benefits a bit from having a mostly-dedicated moderator.

  • Great Podcast for MSU Insight

    I have been listening for several years and really enjoy this podcast. I enjoy the insight that Phil, Chris, and Graham bring. It is nice to have an MSU centric podcast that brings objective takes from reporters with access to the players and coaches.
