John always seems to have his finger on the pulse when it comes to Philly sports. Really enjoy the podcast on my long rides home from King of Prussia.

The best interviews in Philadelphia Sports!

John Clark has hands down the best podcast interviews in Philadelphia sports.

The longtime NBC sportscaster routinely gets exclusives with athletes and celebrities.

Great conversations that range from hard hitting news, to light and fun topics.

Great way to know your favorite people on the Philly sports scene!

Great Philly Podcast!

John Clark is the best Philly sports coverage has to offer, and has been for years. His podcast is no different, he continues to raise the bar.

Clark provides great insights without the absurd hysteria and hot takes that unfortunately marks the bulk of Philly sports coverage - I’m looking at you Angelo! It’s a great peek behind the scenes of your favorite teams for both the die hard and casual fan alike. Fun, interesting, illuminating hour well spent. Go Birds!
