  • Best guests and worst hosts.

    It’s the Jason Kelly show.

    Can have a NYT bestseller with the best football coach of all time and still makes it about him.

    Worth it for the guests if you can make it past the hosts constantly interrupting every guest.

    The guys are great. The dialogues are pretty good. There’s obviously a push to support diversity and inclusion. It can feel forceful at times but it’s okay. They’re shedding light on stories that need to be told. Keep this podcast going.
