Great show. I love your impressions. Your mention of the Man in the Red Bandanna prompts this review- thank you. True hero is right.
I started listening to the Zone because I needed a Kansas City radio show to listen to, and I was familiar with Josh from the Postgame shows on 810. I really enjoy Jason as a host, and I think they do a great job talking about the sporting events that people want to hear about!
Because he thinks it makes what he’s saying is funny.
Epic fail.
Show kinda feels stale without more guests. Love when Field Yates comes on, and miss Mitch Holthus. More insiders would make this show better, as it is I skip it more often than not.
This show is 100% dependent on great national guests. Otherwise it’s a 10-2pm black hole featuring the classic sports talk pitfalls of tired forced humor. The host could be tolerable but doesnt add anything really substantive to offset the personality. Not clear why he was 810’s choice for mid day since the other two shows are fantastic. I’m still scratching my head on this hire.
