Great Pod.

I drive a ton for work & listen to a lot of podcasts and Setting the Pace is usually my 1st listen every morning. Alex & Facci are what I call “realistic homers.” They definitely see things with a Pro-Pacers bias but keep it all grounded in reality. If you’re a Pacers fan then this is a must listen pod.

Must Listen for Pacers Fans

Alex and Facci are my go to when I want to hear up to date info on the Pacers. Normal dudes who keep the conversation moving. Great listen.

Consistently Entertaining and High Quality Pacer Podcast

Alex Golden and Facci are great podcast hosts who genuinely care about putting out high quality stuff. As a Pacer’s fan in Illinois, it is refreshing to listen to people who actually know about the NBA (not just the Lakers and other big market teams). They do a great job of being optimistic about the team while also being realistic about where the team is at. I would recommend Setting the Pace to any sports fan who is tired of sports channels that talk about the same three things, or podcasters who are too emotional and act like every loss is the end of the world. . Maybe you will become a Pacers fan through the process!
