  • Feedback

    Good show but cubelic needs to stop cutting people off. He interrupts McElroy literally at every turn. Also interupts guests. Greg can't even get a full sentence out and cubelic tries to dominate everything. I listen mostly for Greg's analysis so this gets old.

  • Awful audio quality

    5-star review for the content, top show (one of) in the state. But the podcast audio quality makes it almost unlistenable. Whether it is the compression or what, it sounds terrible. I’ve listened to hundreds of podcasts and I’ve never heard one sound this poor. Do better WJOX.

It gives you none. They will go to a bowl but have no real argument for their exclusion. They come off looking like a petulant seven-year-old who didn't get his way.
