Zach, Kat, & Rich have done a great job with the new segments they’ve implemented, guests they’ve had, and insight they provide on the Canes. I look forward to new episodes every week!
Great Canes podcast from the host, to the guest, to the topics! Love seeing episodes drop they make my work day go faster! Even though Zach doesn’t like Martinook once you get past it it’s great! 48/5 stars would recommend.
Every episode is 3 people talking over one another trying to get a word in, but they can’t because the other is talking and interrupting them. Then on top of it all, 2 girls continuously laugh at the top of their lungs directly in their mics over and over. This creates a very chaotic listening experience all while providing very little useful information on the Canes. Save yourself an hour of your week and find another Canes podcast.
