4.4 out of 5 stars from 205 ratings
  • This waggle podcast has become less about the CFL and more about how can we relate the CFL to anything NON CFL. The most CFL thing on this episode is talking with coach J.Moss... Henoc if you're taking over this podcast please return it to CFL centric content. I really feel strongly that the CFL logo should be stripped from this pod until it rights it's ship.

    I could go on about how this pod has turned into garbage but I'm out of characters

  • Solid content terrible volume control

    I’m a huge fan of this podcast as the content is fantastic giving a great insider view of the league and its future.

    The volume control is terrible, one moment it’s like the hosts are whispering so you turn up the volume then it almost blows out the speakers.

  • Argos Podcast

    Should be renamed Argo podcast. Showing quite a bit of favouritism towards Argos , especially the co host, there are teams out west that are pretty good. I like the CFL and always looking for good podcast but going to stop listening to this one

  • Continuing to enjoy.

    Henoc, shout out from Star City Saskatchewan. Also, great job on balancing this role while being a player. I’m enjoying your “This week’s Dog!” segment.

    DB, wonderful job hosting. I’m appreciative of your knowledge of the league’s history with the various player references and more from the last 20 or so years.

    Keep up the great work fellas.
