Customer Reviews
Excellent
I listen to a variety of footy podcasts and the thing I like about this one is that they talk only footy and not about themselves. I savour how in depth they are. My only caveat is that I cringe waiting for the whispered: Just Between Us segment. It just seems silly and is inconsistent with how professional the commentators all are. Plus, when listening to that segment while in the gym I can’t hear what they are saying. They could keep the segment but without the affectations. All the best to you all and I look forward to the rest of the season even though I am a Saints backer.
