Happy Half Hour

When The Group Chat was retired, it created a massive void in the NFL podcast universe…then a new team assembled. Kristen seamlessly joined the team mid-pandemic and still brought the heat week in and week out over Zoom, becoming an immediate Panthers legend. Will stays ready with out of left field football statistics and the ability to fire off absolute garbage food takes. But just when I thought that the Happy 1/2 Hour podcast couldn’t elevate the game any further…they go out and bring in Darin Gantt, the wily veteran of Panthers journalists. But the true star of the podcast is producer Matt, without whom we would have to listen to more Will. Xoxo, The Mayor

Since there aren’t a lot of great Carolina Panthers podcasts out there, this is the only one I listen to. Unfortunately as a Panthers fan, I feel like I’m not getting what I want since I want to know more about the team’s players, the coaching staff, and the expectations. No disrespect to Kristen, Will, and Darin, but I did wish as a listener they would talk more about topics such as can Brain Burns be an All-Pro or Matt Rhule’s ceiling in Carolina instead of talking about doughnuts and life updates. Again, I’m not trying to be a Debbie Downer. I’m giving my honest thoughts and my hope is that the three read this review and put more of an emphasis on Panthers content that is actually important to the listener since podcast episodes are usually 30 minutes in length. Overall, I’ll still be listening, but my hope is that the content portion of the podcast improves as a whole.

I hate to say it but the podcast is insanely better without Myles

Well it looks like my favorite panthers podcast is coming to an end.. I will definitely miss Caroline’s enthusiasm and fun energy. However, my heart will ache for the loss of my sweet Max Henson. Ive been listening to him since before Press Coverage even had a name. It was the first podcast I got hooked on and introduced me into the world of podcasts. Max has consistently had some of the best and most reasonable takes out of anyone covering the Panthers. He also has plenty of personality and presents information in a way that is entertaining. Overall he will definitely be missed and not easily replaced. Hopefully he decides to at least spinoff into a Charlotte foodie podcast as his former food for thought segment was great. Miss you Max! (And Caroline)
