  • Favorite podcast and favorite tech news outlet

    This is by far my favorite VT podcast. Although I did not appreciate the Barack Obama political ad at all. I assume y’all use some sort of software that uploads your podcast and they also handle your ads but this will definitely be a turn off for me and all of your content if that persists. I listen for vt sporting news not anything political if I agree or not with it I am here for the main reason an thats vt sports.

  • Fantastic

    Great podcast, the crew seems to really mesh well together. They root for the Hokies every week but still like to be realistic. They have solid analysis and I like most of the opinions I hear too. They could double the content and I'd still listen every time!

  • Great podcast

    My favorite podcast. While they want the Hokies to win, the analysis is absolutely top notch. The podcast was always top notch, but with Andy Bitter joining the team it’s even better.
