    Casey does a great job getting the interviewee to seem relaxed and thoughtful. Enjoy the format, and almost soothing style. I am a late arrival and looking forward to going back and hearing some of his early takes.

  • Enjoy the pod but

    Casey has great insight into the team and gives us all the details in a very organized, efficient matter.

    My gripes are:

    1) it seems a little robotic. Instead of just giving us ALL of the details, I wish Casey would share more of his own opinion sometimes, don’t just give us the deets but I want to know what you think about them

    2) If we are listening to this podcast, we’re probably huge blazer fans and I’d guess half if not more have already listened to the clips of players, coach, GM talking... more
