Hawkeye Nation

Love listening to people discuss the hawks but for the love of god step back from the microphone or something, the gross mouth noises (swallowing, spit swishing, etc) make it hard to listen to the podcast. This is also the second podcast I’ve listened to where the host decided it’s a good idea to take a drink and force the audience to listen to them swallow, which should be a crime punishable by at least 5 years in a federal prison.

Back away from the microphone when you need to breathe, swallow, drink, or whatever the heck you’re doing when you record this. Don’t listen to this unless you want an audio biology lesson on swallowing. Good grief.

The pod was great when Jon and Steve hosted. Probably the greatest Hawkeye Podcast off all time. Now it’s mediocre, and Rob Howe especially makes it difficult to listen to by being so politically charged. Not sure how Deace, a guy who does politics for a living, was able to leave that out of the pod but Howe, a sports beat writer, can’t. I have stopped listening.

Solid analysis and everything but dude you need to stop clearing your throat so loudly and speaking at a snails pace
