  • Great Sens podcast

    One of the best Sens podcasts. Lots of knowledgable takes and insights. Good chemistry between the hosts without 20 minutes or personal rambling that makes you feel like you’re intruding on a bunch of dudes sitting in their basement.

  • Professional but cringe at times

    You can tell Steve has years of experience broadcasting for TSN so it’s enjoyable to listen.

    But they get a lot of fax wrongs by not checking them before the show and Kennedy has a lot of “old man yelling at a cloud” moment and “in my days we wore onions at the belt as it was the fashion back then”…

    Those are really cringe.
