The Mina Kimes Show featuring Lenny

Mina is great. She sometimes talks too fast. If Ben Soak is a guest again, I’ll delete the episode. He is too loud, and talks even faster than Mina. It is not a speed talking contest. Glad to see the swearing has decreased; it adds no value to the show.

I’ve been a listener for several years. Maybe since the first year. I’m a huge fan of the show. Some constructive criticism - if Solak is going to be a permanent fixture of the show, please please please dial it down a bit. It’s too much yelling. He talks too fast. Sometimes he ramps up too much and sounds like a cartoon chicken. I prefer when the show is conversational, not performative like First Take. I recently turned an episode off for the first time because of how grating he was.

Domonique and Mina breaking down games always teaches me something. And I love the long-form weekly previews with Ben Solak. The other guests are good too, but I would be perfectly happy if it was always Mina and Ben. Specifically, I love how much detail they go into on every player on the line, in the secondary, the scheme, and more. Those previews are almost 2 hours right now. They could be 4 hours and I’d listen to every minute of it every week. I‘ve been looking for a podcast that’ll tell me more than just what’s going on with the QB or skill players, and I think I’ve finally found it. I listen to every episode and would gladly listen to more.

Mina, Solak and Dominique are a pleasure to hear. Solak’s enthusiasm is great.
