Personal policy is to listen to anything Alex is on, and that principle is in effect here. Good, broad based show - enjoy keeping up w/ stuff I don’t follow on my own (e.g. F1)
Miss the old hosts

It’s no longer fun. The joy this show was built on is sadly gone forever and it’s because the replacement hosts. Save your time.
Same repetitive topics

I understand where the hosts’ interests lie but this week’s episode of Hockey/Trump (rehash of last week), WBC preview and F1 just has nothing I’m interested in. Soccer and men’s college basketball are hardly ever mentioned on this show anymore. Hockey gets way more airtime than them in addition to NBA, NFL, MLB and women’s basketball. You’re losing this long time listener.
Excellent Listen
