Reviews

4.7 out of 5 stars from 73 ratings
  • Production is terrible

    The sound goes from very low to very high depending on who is talking. Conversations are interrupted in mid sentence by a commercial. Hard to listen to, which is inexcusable.

  • Informative and always on point.

    Sharp, insightful, and refreshingly no-nonsense — this podcast cuts through the noise. Every episode delivers accurate stats, smart analysis, and context that actually matters. Tom knows his stuff and never wastes your time with fluff. You walk away feeling informed, not just entertained. A must-listen for anyone who values clarity as a fan of University of Kentucky athletics.

  • Sound issue

    Tom, I love your show but the sound quality is horrible. I turn the volume all the way up but still have a hard time hearing. Then, when it switches without warning to a commercial break, it bursts my ear drums. Keep up the great show and content but please investigate the sound quality issues. Thanks!

  • Thanks Tom!

    Always catch the podcast daily. I appreciate the in-depth interviews, and keeping us all in the UK loop of not only basketball and football, but the other sports teams on campus as well.

    Your coverage of the basketball games (along with “Goose”) are THE BEST! 🤗

    Thanks so much Tom!
