I really enjoy Chris’ analysis and POV, but this podcast has clearly been struggling to find an adequate co-host for him. Hayden struggled to facilitate interesting conversation and now Ethan seems under-qualified and his cadence is terrible. Jimmy was great when filling in for Ethan — keep him on full time!

After a few months off, I was hopeful this podcast dropped high school level Ethan but he’s still somehow the moderator of this awful pod. And Chris offers no objective perspective. Just non stop showering of blandishments and kissing of butt content. I mean Cavs are great but come on Chris, last year you defended inept JB and this year you proclaim Niang is untradeable?! lol. Must do better here!

I enjoy this podcast and its content but for the love of God Ethan can you buy a mic that doesn’t sound like you’re talking into a Nokia inside of a wind tunnel. It’s a podcast. Produce quality audio.

Fedor is one of very few people who can give good Cavs insight, but it’s become so plainly a habit for him to have an incompetent co-host that I’m starting to wonder if he deliberately prefers it this way, so that he can seem smarter. That’s the only explanation I could come up with for having Hayden and now Ethan co-host. They are truly the two least qualified people I’ve ever heard host a podcast, and that’s saying something! I want to keep up on the Cavs, but this is an embarrassing listen.

Chris provides some if the best insight in the NBA, period. Ethan just is not good enough, showing flashes if insight but coming across as forced and inarticulate. What should be my favorite sports podcast is sometimes instead just hard to listen to.

I feel like Ethan doesn’t get to give his full opinion on certain things without being cut off. He’s got a head for sports and knows what he’s looking at but isn’t given his shot. Chris will argue circles around him and end up getting to the same point Ethan started at just for arguments sake. Like c’mon man.

I still wish Hayden would’ve pushed back more to Chris but man, at least he spoke proper grammar. That man just said “Didn’t Not”. It’s a tough listen now

Hayden, please stop talking. We’re here for Chris’ insight. Someone please buy Chris a microphone.

Really enjoying the Wine & Gold podcast with the new co-host. I can’t call myself the biggest Cavs fan, but they talk a lot about sports in general, which I appreciate. The pod is easily digestible and informative, without a lot of fluff. I download the shows so I can listen anywhere.

We need Ashley hosting this. She is so much better than Hayden. Hayden is not good. Unprepared, unprofessional, no set release schedule, poor audio quality and editing. For a well done podcast, learn from your colleagues with Orange and Brown Talk. Clean it up Hayden.
