Disappointed

I was a subscriber and regular listener of the podcast through the entirety of the 22-23 championship run season. I enjoyed the content as a newer NBA fan and loved listening to the recaps of games, especially when I couldn’t watch games due to the Denver/Comcast blackout. But since the podcast started being recorded during YouTube livestreams, the podcast quality has really suffered. You often hear Ryan struggling with the technology or referring to things that can only be seen on YouTube. As an audio-only listener, this has negatively impacted my experience with the podcast. I was already pulling away from regular listening to the podcast when it started including advertisements for guns. Maybe I’m in the minority as a sports fan, but regardless of views on guns, it seems insensitive to the many victims of senseless gun violence to advertise for the sale and recreation of guns. For these reasons I’ve officially unsubscribed from the podcast and will be looking elsewhere for my Nuggets content. I’m disappointed to lose this source, but some things are more important.

Great Nuggets Content

This is an excellent podcast for Nuggets fans to listen to. Ryan’s passion for Nuggets basketball shines brightly in a way that I think die hard Nuggets fans can appreciate. Ryan is great with analytics, but he also has a talent for taking those analytics and providing insightful and interesting thoughts and analysis. Ryan’s personality subtly shows throughout these podcasts, which provide a layer of unintended humor that I think makes this podcast even more enjoyable. I also have to give kudos for how noticeably hard Ryan has been working over the years at what he’s building—I was amazed last summer at how much content Ryan was able to generate during the offseason. I know that can’t be easy, and is only something a true Nuggets fan can deliver to their listeners. I’ve been a listener for years, so this review is long overdue, but I cannot recommend this podcast enough for Nuggets fans.
