4.7 out of 5 stars from 296 ratings
  • Good, but not enough

    It’s the best Pelicans podcast. But episodes come once a month or less. That’s not nearly enough. Do it once a week and you’ll have something going.

  • Listened to the last episode

    Zion is by far a better player than Ingram. As far as whose team it is, Zion is the guy that if he reaches his potential will carry the team to the championship that’s not BI.

  • Love the show, but there’ve been some issues

    To make a very long story short, I would love to give the show a full five stars, but feel like I’m being generous with four (at this particular time.) Avid, voracious Pels fan from AZ.

Because I drive a lot (and, admittedly, don’t have the best hearing having been a performing musician for 20+ years) and I need decent quality production to hear what is being said -... more

  • Used to be good

    I used to listen to this podcast all the time and was excited when an episode came out. Since then attitudes and people have changed and now all you get is self righteous guys complain about literally anything they can about the Pelicans organization. They say they want to grow the fan base, and I think they were at a point, but now it’s just a disappointment every episode and tough to get through the first 15-20 minutes every episode.
