  • Give this man a radio show again!

    Love listening to Bart. Sure he can have some extreme takes but they are much more grounded than almost any national talker out there. You want fun, entertaining and great Wisconsin and national sports talk this is it. Been listening to him since he was producing at 1250 and he’s only gotten better.

With this being said and if the Bucks really are going to trade him, the organization needs to recoup as much value as po... more

  • Swear Just To Swear

    Great content, a lot of wit and good takes but recently you've started to swear just to swear and it's entirely unneeded. It waters down what is overall a great show.
