A great listen

I enjoy Kevin and Mike’s discussions….they talk about a lot of good subjects in Philly sports and both have a lot of knowledge from extensive work in the media.

At your best

Sad that your best programs (IMO) have to be focused upon the demise of journalism in our town. Both the Bob Cooney and Matt Breen shows are full of incite and wisdom that only come with “experience.” Best wishes to you both, from someone who waited each day on my NE Philadelphia steps for The Daily News.
