  • Thank you! Go Orange!

    Tommy and Sam have great chemistry and genuinely sound like they not only cover the teams but enjoy doing this. It also helps having Sam being a former athlete and female voice in the Syracuse sports space in other forms since it’s lacking in the local radio and podcast space. Keep up the great work and Go Orange!
