Free Press Sports with Carlos and Shawn
Free Press sports columnist Shawn Windsor and insider Carlos Monarrez have plenty to say, and not just about Detroit sports, but Detroit culture, news and day-to-day life. Shawn and Carlos share their analysis, opinions, and viewpoints on just about everything. You may disagree with them. They most likely will disagree with each other and have fun doing it.

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.

I’m a long time Michigan resident who retired and am now living on the west coast. I used to enjoy this podcast not only for the interesting takes but also to keep up with the Detroit sports scene. However, the podcast in early July just disappeared without any announcement or forewarning. They just stopped. I don't know if it’s due to the rudderless sports department at the Freep (their editor quit and as far as i know has not been replaced) or just disdain for the listeners. Loyal listeners should have been shown the courtesy of being advised that the podcast was being discontinued. Very disappointing
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.
