  • No food for thought

    The Crier and BOC embody the id and ego of Friartown. I always look forward to the show. Really enjoy the guests you bring on to discuss the team. . . BUT . . . Could you please ask them to eat before or after you record the pod? Listening to Curry Hicks Sage digest a meal was an asmr hellscape. Keep up the good work, fellas.

  • Best Providence Hoops pod out there!

    Fantastic listen week in and week out. The Crier & BOC are informative and entertaining, and definitely do their homework on all things Friars and Big East. Would definitely recommend their pod and blog to all fans of PC hoops. Go Friars!

  • Better than ever

    First, you can’t get better Providence analysis than what you hear on the Friar. Adding BD was a master stroke as it gives the Podcast some depth.

  • Finally a Friars Pod!

    I’ve been waiting years for a quality podcast about PCBB. Mike’s had a great blog (when I’ve had a chance to read it) and seems to have the inside scoop on what’s going on at the Dunk and with Ed and the boys. 2019-2020 is the most promising team we’ve had in years so I’m pumped to have a pod to follow along with! Thanks, Crier!
