These guys do a great job covering the Kings. I have followed James ever since his Cowbell Kingdom days.
Probably the best Kings podcast out there

Most level headed Kings podcast out there. They post regularly during the season and the episodes are a nice length. It seems like they have a bit more access to the players so there is a lot less speculation going on. My main gripe is how they handle ads. I understand that they are a part of podcast but they could work on transitions better. Ads will come right in the middle of sentences and segments. Maybe they could add in a transition sound or place at the end of segments. It’s a bit jarring
Great Kings insight, atrocious movie recommendations

Love hearing the guys talk about the Kings. Brenden, don’t worry about not watching these movies. 90% are trash
Inconsistent
