  • From 1 star to new rating

    Gave this a 1 star initially after Mark Long’s comments at a Billy presser. Have continued to listen and they’ve grown on me. They don’t sugar coat.

  • My Go-To Gator Podcast

    This is my go-to Gator Podcast. Edgar and Mark are two of the best real reporters on the beat. They have great sources and know the insiders giving them info to break stories. The format is excellent and it's easy to listen to. I also enjoy the weekly discussion about the lesser known sports during the Foley's Corner segment. Keep it coming guys!
