Customer Reviews
Hyperbole is their brand
Windy cites Celtics ‘historic win’ against Warriors team down two starters at the end of a four game Eastern Conference road trip. This is but one example of the ‘over the top’ reporting that can make listening to the pod a tiresome experience. If you can get past the ‘First Take’ level of hyperbole, an unabashed embrace of recency bias, and seemingly endless Lakers reporting, there is excellent content to be found.
Good Pod
But for the love of god please no more Windy Story Time. No one wants to hear a full pod about journalists lives. If you want to change the format of the show start a new pod or at least label the pod so I can skip those episodes.
Ouch
Bontemps is really trying to wet blanket everythjng Wembanyama. It is hard to listen to.
