Have been listening to Ian since on the R&I show, they were hands down my favorite. Don’t have time to listen to their show now, but definitely miss it.
This podcast, was even better!
Since R&I got back together, you get 25% of what ITCs used to be. You used to get 40 minutes of in-depth thoughts from a guy that used to PLAY FOR THE BUCS, often w/ awesome guests from around TB media. The Trevor S interviews were the best. But once a week, you get the (usual) 2+ minutes of ads, only now followed by 9ish minutes of diluted, glossed-over content.
Worse-yet, now content from his other political podcast is overflowing into ITCs. The listener feels caught in an echo chamber, when all they came for was the Bucs talk. March 2020 until now has sucked. When I have looked to listen to the last 4 weeks’ ITC podcasts, I see:
6/22 Confidence Camp will start on time, 6/15 the domino effect of COVID-19,
6/8 sports and politics will always collide,
and 6/2 Football Just isn’t Important right now.
... but on this podcast it’s supposed to be!! Haha.. like bruh, come-on!
I’ve met Ian in-person a couple times. Awesome dude. I still get excited when I see the updated episode logo pop up. And I’ll keep checking’ back in from time-to-time, in hopes it gets better again.
... But I just can’t right now. Ian, if you’re reading this, I’d recommend either give it 100% effort or put it on hold, for now.
