Hoops Tonight with Jason Timpf

Hoops Tonight is one of my favorite shows. Unfortunately the producers of this show have found a way to avoid my Apple Podcasts settings that prevents “Suggestions”, and my listening queue for Hoops Tonight continues to be filled with “You Might Also Like” shows from other podcasters in the Colin Cowherd group. None of these alternative shows have anything to do with sports and are extremely irritating. Removing these extraneous shows by marking them as “played “ just seems to make the problem worse. I have finally given up trying to get rid of them, and am now reluctantly unsubscribing from a show I love. I will periodically search for Hoops Tonight and manually download Jason’s awesome podcasts, but I can’t put up with the irritation of having my queue filled up with unwanted irrelevant shows from other podcasters.

Love this show. Jason is at the top of the game when it comes to NBA content. But there is one fatal flaw. I HATE the stickied “bonus” episode they cram into the feed. It’s some unrelated podcast they’re trying to push. I often leave my podcasts playing in the background, and because this spam episode is part of the Hoops Tonight feed, some random podcast comes on I have no interest in. This has to be against Apple’s guidelines. Please stop this user anti pattern. You’re going to lose listeners, including me.

By far my favorite NBA podcast.

Basketball content is top notch. 2 stars because I had to skip ahead 7 MINUTES before the show even started. An insane amount of adds.
