- Best of OU podcast universe
That's it. That's the review.
I don't do Twitter/Facebook anymore because of politics, so I can't send my 3 word reviews. Maybe y'all can reach out to RedDirtSport to be your official Bluesky account (or make your own)?

United States10 months ago - Show overview
I’ve been listening to your podcast for nearly two years now, thanks to a common man Jed Castles. I love the fan perspective of it as you give a different perspective and aren’t always wearing crimson glasses and point out obvious issues. Sometimes I’m a bit more hesitant to agree but must admit you are correct and with confidence can say both of you have finally made me see that Barnes is a Jag. Great show keep up the work.
