  • Colin is a great story teller

    The man knows how to create interest and intrigue in topics most people would dismiss, unless you’re a true sports fan..but WHY does he settle for a Jack-in-the-box sidekick, when there have to be better options he could work with??

  • McIntyre ruins it.

    I have listened to Colin for years and I always loved the show. However, Joy Taylor and Jason McIntyre have been complete misses. I still listen occasionally, but getting through 3 hours rarely happens.
