  • I miss the short clips

    The short clips that were previously made available were a great way to get my Riders coverage. My listening schedule doesn’t allow for an entire show. So, I do zip through the whole episode to get to the goods.

  • I like the smaller pieces.

    I like the 620 rebrand of the SportsCage in an effort to establish a new foundation. However, I just don’t listen to the daily show like I used to. Too many topics that don’t keep my attention with new hosts I don’t have a connection with. Which makes these segmented pieces of the show in podcast form valuable. I can pick what I want to listen to and ignore the rest.
