love the pod, best one out there by far for tOSU. BUT, please stop with the “in a world” schtick….sooooo overdone at this point lol

noahroebuck · Jul 2026

Birm and Ward are as connected as they come on the OSU beat but if you’re looking for in-depth X’s and O’s analysis or anything resembling an unbiased opinion I would look elsewhere. This pod needs Landis back to bring them back to reality.

Ohcp777 · Jul 2025

Loved THE Podcast Daily. But something’s missing now. Birm is talking too much. A third person is needed to balance the show. Still good, but not what it once was.

IowaBuckeye · Jun 2025

As a true recruiting junkie, I can confidently say Birm is the best in the business, when it comes to OSU recruiting Info, and it’s not even close. Wish you guys could bring on Bill and his perspective.
