    This podcast has been a hard listen since Marchand and Ourand left the pod but airing an interview with Elmo on a sports business podcast made my decision to unfollow. Know your target audience.

  • Downhill since Ourand and Marchand left

    New hosts are way too vanilla. Not nearly as engaging as O & M. Also not sure why they got rid of whos up whos down segment that was the best part.
