Customer Reviews
Enjoy the Show
I’m a now-retired native Detroiter who moved to Los Angeles in 1975 at age 22. I still follow the Detroit teams (mainly the Lions now) and enjoy the byplay between the two reporters very much. I have to give special credit to Shawn for the 3-14-2024 episode in which he applauded Minneapolis for producing The Replacements, Husker Du, and Prince. The Replacements are my favorite band and Husker Du is in my top 20. I don’t enjoy Prince as much as I do those bands, but I do recognize his enormous talents as a musician and singer. Anyway, Shawn and Carlos often refer to their audience as “the listener,” so I guess that would be me. Keep it up, guys.
Great Team that Bounce Off One Another Well
Carlos (oil) and Shawn (water) make a great team!! They know their craft, and can still intertwine the bantering. They are very entertaining.
So much potential
The Free Press has so much access yet this podcast gives us so little. Such a great moment in Detroit sports (lions!) but these dudes seem disinterested and give lazy opinions and insight (Maggs HR was against the A’s, Carlos comparing Detroit to Tampa Bay like a clueless out of towner). Detroit Sports deserve a better podcast and I was hoping the free press brand would be better.
