  • Best duo in Vols Sports analysis

    I’ve been listening to both Josh and Swain for years, Josh did a great job previously hosting the Locked on Vols podcast and Swain brings his entertaining style and commentary from The Swain Event, which I also loved! Together, they are ying and yang and perfectly complement one another in style and substance. Sometimes their banter is like an old married couple it cracks me up! I live in Dayton Ohio but made a point of stopping by the live show when I was in town for a football game and they co... more

  • Josh and Swain are awesome!

    Been a long time listener to Josh Ward on WNML, and his show is fantastic. Love the Vols and all the angles they provide on my favorite team. VFL Swain has added a new dynamic, and the duo’s charisma is entertaining to say the least. They cover a wide base in the sporting world including the lighter side of sports; whatever you’re interested in, they will likely discuss it. Highly recommend!
