    The Drive With Jack is a terrific mid-Michigan sports talk show. TDWJ is my go-to late afternoon listen and the pod segments are well titled and easy to access on a variety of platforms.

  • Nice to hear MSU stuff in warm weather

    I got the best of both worlds no snow or crappy weather and listening to Jack and guests. I do miss blue belly Tom but all his guests make up for it.
