  • 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.

    I appreciate ESPN 92.9 providing Geoff’s weekday radio show in podcast form for Memphis sports fans who live outside their broadcast area or who otherwise can’t listen to the show.

    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
