Customer Reviews
Quality Boston sports pod, feels more like a radio show
Love how Brian incorporates stats into his angles and the program in general. My only real comment is that it feels a bit wordy, or like it’s trying to fill time in a 4 hour radio show sometimes, could be a bit crisper in this format. Thanks for the content!
Great Boston pod
This is a really good place for quality analysis on daily Boston sports news. It’s a new go to for me. Brian keeps you up on all the teams without having to watch every game or reading about them everyday.
Great guests
There is no greater joy than listening to Sean Grande call a Celtics game. The man is a legend.
