Customer Reviews
Great Podcast from Mark Gaskins
I have been listening to Laurence since I was in high school and having on 670 the Score while riding with my brother to, from and at job sites. While I don’t always agree with him, he is someone I respect in the sports journalism space and he hits his stride in this setting. His content is enjoyable and it’s fun to get his opinion on different often times random topics in short form. I love listening to his opinions and in my opinion, this is where he is at his best. It is also great to be able to find relevant episodes and share with my friends who are also interested. Most of my friends know that when I say I was listening to and heard this from Laurence, they know who he is and enjoy what he has to say.
I don’t know if this is the place to do this but Laurence I would love more movie review podcasts. Also, it seems like you are or used to be a wrestling fan. I am a huge WWE fan and would love an episode on your fandom, where it was, where it is now and if you’d consider giving some time to it. Thank you!
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.
