  • The former beat wasn’t a good hire

    I’m so glad Thunder Buddies is back after off the hook for the past one year with the former beat writer, whom every fan could tell had no attachment with this team and city, only took Oklahoman as a shortstop of transition. His lacking of podcast skill was the main reason that Thunder Buddies had failed delivering for nearly one year.

  • Improvement!

    I’ve been a loyal listener for years and have seen many come and go. I like Michael leading the podcast, I like Joe’s take, but I think he’s even more comfortable having Michael lead. I like where this is going!
