Customer Reviews
Breath of fresh air
Aaron does a great job of not making a sports podcast that is dry and diluted. He’s funny and gives constant updates
Biggest sports weekend
This is the biggest sports weekend of college basketball and you are screaming at a random spot in Las Vegas. This audio since the moment you got to Vegas, is you screaming into the podcast and audio sounding awful. What an absolute joke of a decision by you and your producer to think it was smart. What a waste of 3 episodes
