Customer Reviews
Great pod, but…
I’ve adjusted down to 4 stars from 5 for audio quality. You’d think the huge telecom that owns Sportsnet would be able to handle this aspect the best. In terms of the information Elliotte is by far the best in the league in terms of quality, quality and integrity, I get that means he needs to be constantly on the phone at all hours and so remote reporting from the street is necessary, but get him some better hardware! Jeff’s connection always seems to be out of sync with the pod/broadcast, even when he talking to guests who connect remotely on their phone which you’d think would be the weak link - which leads to Jeff frequently “stepping” on Elliotte’s sentences as well as their guests. They’re the best though so they really don’t need to have better audio but I find myself rewinding a lot to figure out what’s being said. Still my all time fave pod.
Audio Delays!!
I listen to this podcast mostly for the guests. Marek can be pretentious as hard to handle. But by far the worst thing about this podcast is that they still havent figured out the delay issue. Marek is CONSTANTLY TALKING OVER PEOPLE. Fix your audio.
Air b n b ads are terrible
One star purely because the air b and b ads if I could give -100 stars I would do better
