  • Thank God for Chad Finn

    I grew up in Boston and local

    Boston sports newscasts along with the Globe were the anchor of my life. I have kept up since moving away in 2009 (I remain a Globe subscriber) but am embarrassed to say I thought Lobel was no longer alive. Thanks to all this really brings me home to Lynchie (a fellow Harvard alum) and the inimitable and irreplaceable Lobie.

  • I miss these two guys

    It is good to occasionally hear from Bob and Mike, the main sportscasters of my youth. I live away from the Boston area now, and hearing these two chat about the goings on in Boston sports is a good way for me to keep up to date. Always have interesting local sports personalities on for a chat, including some of the older ones from their era that are either retired or who have been around for a long time.

  • Bob & Mike

    I love your podcasts —— content, quality, guests, humor and really great discussions. Just SO refreshing during a time where the media is mostly just out of control in so many ways. Thank you - Please don’t ever change……some of us older folks really need this open dialog…..and humor. I love the way you work together. Keep going strong!
