Jess and Seth do a phenomenal job from top to bottom. The podcast production is fantastic from audio quality to content structure. They’re both extremely knowledgeable and present information and opinions in a clear and concise manner. Best podcast for Cardinals fans out there.
Good content, horrible sound quality

My enjoyment of the podcast is greatly diminished because of the horrid sound quality. 345 episodes, and they still haven’t figured out how to make a decent recording or how to equalize sound levels. One co-host always sounds like he is broadcasting from the bottom of the ocean through a tin can with string. [U] OMG- the sound quality got WORSE! If I turn up the volume enough to hear one guy, the other one blasts my eardrums. Literally painful to listen to because of the sound quality and volume levels. This is a shame, because they produce good content and are very knowledgeable about our team.
Great pod. Poor quality audio
