  • Fix your Audio Joel! Otherwise, great pod.

    Been listening to this pod for the past two football seasons. Hosts are very funny with really great coverage and content. Will continue to listen and be a fan of the show. But Jesus H McMaster, how has no one told ever Joel how bad his audio is?? Every episode I’ve ever listened to, it sounds like his mic either in his throat or maybe he just has bad tech. lol It’s so much more muffled and louder than Jordan’s and I feel like I have to turn the volume down every time he talks.

  • Let’s Go Mountaineers

    Great podcast with one note. No need to cuss. I can’t listen to this with the kids in the truck! Can y’all keep it clean? There is really no need for the foul language.

MAKING PORTAL LISTS AND CHECKING THEM TWICE | West By Pod Ep. 133
Q: Can we make a play for a top tier transfer quarterback, or should we focus on the ODU guy and potential gems in the rough?
They suggest a cautious approach: if the right guy comes at the right price, consider it, but don't overextend; prioritize getting one solid quarterback rather than blowing the entire budget.

Frequently Asked Questions About West By Pod

What is West By Pod about and what kind of topics does it cover?

Two WVU-focused hosts deliver weekly, opinionated takes on Mountaineer football, roster turnover, scheduling, and conference dynamics. Episodes blend tactical game-analysis with candid fan banter, recruiting talk, and real-world implications for the program's trajectory in a rapidly changing landscape. Notable strengths include blunt, entertaining chemistry between the hosts, a heavy emphasis on roster strategy (portal activity, signing day, depth), and a willingness to diverge from conventional narratives with bold takes. The show also leans into fan culture, sponsorship mentions, and regional sports banter, which may appeal to deeply engaged WVU and college football audiences seeking unabashed, ground-level perspectives.
