The episode with Stan Verrett and Neil Everett was excellent in how they feel comfortable in starting a video podcast. It is nice to hear that given a platform and finding an audience that will watch, the money will hopefully follow. A future topic I would like to hear is the rise of content creators. Two names that come to mind are Katie Feeney and Annie Agar from ESPN. Their career paths would be a fascinating story.
Jason Benetti and Mark Henry were awesome

As a big Detroit Tigers fan, I really enjoyed listening to the podcast with Jason Benetti that you did. I think he is one of the best people in baseball to call a game right now. I also enjoyed your recent interview with Mark Henry too. I’m impressed that you continue to have on guests from the pro wrestling world. As a big fan of this too, I really appreciate that you shine a spotlight on this genre.
A bit misleading

Leaving out that Jacob Henry is a walk-on is a fact that should have been disclosed. I look him up, expecting to see he’s a scholarship player and he’s not. It’s ok to be a walk-on. Nothing to be ashamed of but he very well may never see the field.
Love this podcast

The best sports media podcast - lots of different topics and guests, few hot takes, not too football focused. Another idea for a future episode - maybe a Canadian roundtable discussion (Donnovan Bennett and Shirin Ahmed) about how screwed up the World Cup will be given our current political environment?
