Customer Reviews
Usual hosts
How do you start the pod without mentioning the usual hosts are gone. Talk about poor reporting on your part.
New SBJ Pod
Sad to say I think this pod should have been shut down when Marchand and Ourand departed. They could have taken time and then done a reboot with folks who not only can inform but entertain. Traina and Deitsch fill this sports media niche much better.
Hope the Pod Continues!
I didn’t realize I never rated the show and heard the news on episode 118 about John’s new gig. Hopefully it can work out that both Andrew and John can continue the pod going as is. The information they share and opine on is so interesting and their chemistry is great.
