  • Better than Managing Madrid

    I think your Content is equal to managing Madrid. since they have some credentials, they can’t be as critical of the club as you guys. I love your honesty when you critique the club. I wrote an earlier review last year about your audio quality being garbage. It has improved. My concern is this.

    1. you can’t call yourself a legitimate Madrid podcast if you disappear for six months. At least do an episode every two weeks. It’s ridiculous.

    2.I don’t wanna hear any other sport talked about aside fr... more

  • Amazing Podcast! Love every minute

    Sound quality is awful, but content is awesome. You just have to try really hard to hear and understand. Sid, you have to work on this sound, your guest often sound terrible and are hard to understand, but your mic echos badly or is so quiet. But I listen to every episode and I’m rooting for you!

  • Better than Managing Madrid

    I think your Content is better than managing Madrid. Especially now that foreign guy is off of it, Leconte (sic), his audio quality plus his accent made it very hard to listen to him. In general, you still need to work on your audio. The December 30 episode about Spanish soccer was unlistenable. Gerard,Your audio is fine. But the guy you brought on for the New Year’s resolution was the same guy from December 30 and his audio was too muffled. Please listen to your podcast before you release them.... more

  • Content is good, but not professional audio

    Please work on the audio because it is hard to hear. Also, there are times where there is just dead space please make it a little more professional by editing, and again improve the audio. For example, the champions league episode was unlistenable despite the good content because of the wind or whatever audio problem it was. These are simple things that you can work on. Please do that and I’ll change this review to five stars.

    10/4 Leconte your audio is still worse than anyone else that on the s... more
