Thanks for putting out the podcast on Sunday's. I like getting the national reaction quickly. Wish more did the same.
Myerberg Rocks
Host Dan Wolken is a whiny SJW that does not get that people turn to CFB to escape SJW lectures. Paul Myerberg is also a New York liberal SJW but at least seems to get that there is an other side. Just as important, Myerberg is increibly knowledgable and passionate about CFB and is mesmorizing to listen too. Myerberg makes the podcast and should always be on it. Wolken may be transitioning, which accounts for his whiny virtue signalling.
Seriously Informative But Overly Serious
Dan Wolken does a decent job of covering CFB and provides good insights, with good guests. A few notes that would make this a much better podcast:
-a Co-host—Dan sometimes comes off sounding like he is supposed to be the expert, even when he has guests. Probably a “color” host would be a good complement, as Dan can be dry and facts-only when analyzing CFB.
-attention to audio—Dan yells when he talks, which makes for him being one volume and any guest being a quieter volume.
Wanted to give higher than 3 stars, because I appreciate solid analysis, but—while I’ll continue listening—this podcast is middle-of-the pack compared to others I enjoy.
