Customer Reviews
Ugh
I really enjoy this pod! It’s informative and fun. The only downside is the unbelievable amount of LONG commercials. Sometimes I just turn it off because I get sick of having this stuff crammed in my face. These ads are over the top.
Love these
The Saturday pod is so perfectly in my wheelhouse! There’s plenty of smart, unique analysis, but there are also a lot of genuinely funny/interesting recurring bits (wheel of fandom is prlly the best bit in any bball pod) and banter. Basketball pod episodes often have a pretty short shelf life imo where if I miss it the day or two after it’s posted, I just won’t listen because so much will have changed since then. The Saturday pod is the rare one where I’ll listen pretty much whenever I can get to it because there’s always something slightly more evergreen in its episodes.
Zach is incredibly annoying
The decision to make a sentient obnoxious twitter account the central voice of your flagship NBA show is insane. Dude belongs at the Ring*r.
