Customer Reviews
Great Work
This is a bit biased because I have been listening to/following Laurence for many years. I was a couple of years behind him in high school (HF). Listening to his work and seeing his rise has been really cool and this podcast venture is another excellent way for his content to be presented. The Jason Goff interview is one of the realest conversations I have heard in this medium. It answered a lot of questions for me as a fan of Jason but more importantly it allowed me to know more about him as a man, father and professional. Keep up the great work and I will look forward to more!
It wasn’t that long ago
As always great job. Very thoughtful and thought provoking. Crazy to think how much changed since 2022. Laurence is the best host and sports journalist in Chicago.
This is a must subscribe for the Chicago Sports nut with a social conscience.
This is a great sports media podcast channel that will one day rival the big ones out there. But Sports isn’t the only topic. This channel doesn’t shy away from important social and political issues of the day. It’s a great outlet for a great broadcaster in Laurence Holmes and his friends. Sports Adjacent is a must listen every weekend. Most of you reading this have no friends. I get that. Well, Sports Adjacent is there for you. Just listen in and you can hear what having friends is like.
Any episode with Leila Rahimi is a banger. She is too good for Chicago so enjoy it while she is still here and before the national media types steal her. Then, you can be a hipster and “um actually” your friends when she’s on a national morning show. You can say that you were a fan of Leila Rahimi when she was doing local Chicago radio and podcasting. Your parents had Bill Kurtis and Lester Holt. You have Leila Rahimi.
And Laurence delves into pop culture as well. Star Trek (Bloodwhine), comic books (his own as well as others), and his other varied interests find space here. You like Marvel Comics? Boom. Here you go. You like DC Animation? Here, have some analysis.
And now I shall put various keywords here to help with the mysterious algorithm. Bears. Cubs. Bulls. Blackhawks. White Sox? Marvel DC 108 Chicago Sky Progressive Driver. Is this enough? I wish I was creative enough to put together an acronym just to tick off Bernstein, but my flight is boarding now so I’ll just stop this review. 😂
