Customer Reviews
Informative and Fun!
I’ve been listening for years now. Great content! Great interviews! The style is laid back and informal with detail shared through story. This is one show (tv, radio, podcast, etc) that I’ve been sure to catch every episode. Nick and Brenden, I wondered where the preseason podcast was…with todays update now I know. I very much appreciate the work you put in (written and audio). Selfishly, I don’t want a change but change was inevitable given your talent and dedication. Congratulations to you both as you flourish in your new roles! I eagerly look forward to the possibility of a new show from you both. Well done! Keep up the good work.

Brendan and Nick. You guys are the best! Listening from Virginia but always true blue. Seriously missed you guys together from Mlive days. You guys always had a great rapport, insight and passion. Just found this pod and super excited. Cheers guys!!
Addendum: an end to ‘The Beat’? Man you guys are great and will miss this. Whatever road life takes you, you can always look back to the good ole days. Seriously entertaining, insightful podcasting on my beloved Wolverines. Love you guys!!!

Big fan of the pod. So pleased you both are back together. Thoughtful, interesting journalism. These guys are the reason I subscribe to the Athletic. The writing and the podcast are both excellent.
…and the recent (May 2022) podcast on NIL was spectacular.
