KNBR Podcast Cumulus Sports

Been a long time listener, and love the content, staff, and insight. I’ve also had the pleasure of meeting many of the on-air personalities over the years.

My biggest complaint are the commercials. Not that they exist, I understand ad revenue, but the timing and volume. They come out of nowhere, and are seemingly on level 11/10. Some of the audio in the interviews is softer and quiet, requiring listeners to to turn the volume way up.

Then, out of nowhere, some extra loud voice starts talking about a sponsor. Not only is this frustrating to have the shock factor of someone yelling in my ears, it’s also dangerous for those driving. I have been startled multiple times while listening to this pod and driving due to the extra loud commercial interrupting an interview that was on higher-than-normal volume.

The listening experience is ruined. Ear blasting commercials. Will it changed! Of course not. Cha Ching cha Ching cha Ching.

The Ads are a dealbreaker… loud… dropped in randomly… sometimes mid WORD….More than once in the middle of a Jon Miller home run call on the Post Game Wrap….I’ll still listen sometimes but the days of being locked into KNBR are over for me…
