  • Great show

    Truly a scholar and a man of the people. Keep up the good work. Wish a little more of you had rubbed off on John Martin while he was your producer.

  • Fantastic Memphis Sports Radio Host

    I lived in Memphis for 8 years. Geoff and the other hosts at 92.9 FM kept me company throughout that time. I was so glad to find this show (and the other 92.9 shows) as a podcast once I moved away.

    An attorney myself, I have always appreciated Geoff’s analyses and ability to play devil’s advocate. The man is great at what he does. His new producer is a great addition to the show, too.

    No doubt you will enjoy this show as much as I do.

    Geoff and his producer Jeffrey consistently produce a terrifically entertaining show covering Memphis sports, both college & professional. Geoff is and author lead sports columnist for Memphis’ Commercial Appeal newspaper and one of the best storytellers around.

    One of the things I like best about this show is the ... more
