Customer Reviews
The best
I’ve been listening to Cowherd as my main sports show/pod for over a decade. Switched to John. Love it, keep up the good work (Colin is way too big of an Aaron Rogers Hater)
Adverts are ridiculous
Dont mind some advertising for good content but the amount of commercials in a typical episode is horrifying. Content is normally good similar (sometimes too similar) to cowherd’s pod. If you handle nonstop ads this pod might be for you.
Podcast is 60% ads and bull
He has some good points, but it’s h possible to listen to when the podcast literally starts with 8 minutes of ads.
