  • Podcast studio time

    Enjoyed your segment with Elle Duncan on Kaitlin Clark. You two discussed this with the nuance the topic rarely gets. I did want you to know as someone who just started podcasting, libraries and community centers have studios that can be used for free. I use the studios at the local library because my house is in the flight path of the airport

    Thanks Bomani. The show gets better and better. Would love a show with both Joel Anderson and Spencer Hall on at the same time. I think you three could talk college sports in a smart way.

  • Great other than the Constant Race Baiting

    Love the show and sports perspectives. But my guy you gotta stop it with the race baiting, its incessant and doesn't move the conversation forward, only breaks us apart.

    Vernon Maxwell broke the mold. So crazy funny and reminds me of an older time. Bomani is almost best as an interviewer.

    Thanks again for such an awesome show.
