What listeners say

A curated, balanced selection of Apple Podcasts reviews.

I’ve been a listener of the pod for a few years now and the current trio of hosts - Scarlet, Michael, and Mike - are the best so far. I enjoy the mix of sports business news/discussion, the interviews of sports business leaders, and Michael Barr’s weekly fantasy updates during football season. Thanks to Scarlet for breaking up the boys club. It’s been refreshing.

ABrizz · Feb 2022

Love the new two man format with Barr and Eben. Both guys come off very genuine and work well off each other. There seems to be no need for each guy to one up each other and they just do a great job of making this podcast a great listen.

Eli1017 · Apr 2020

The content within each episode is awesome. The length is great for binge listening and I’m not losing focus will listening to the podcast!

marshdarsh22 · Jan 2020

These three hosts work really well together bringing unique perspectives to the table. I like how they talk about the side of stories that are typically not highlighted by traditional media outlets.

BMW2013 · Sep 2019

Business of Sports once again raises the volume of ads to a literally painful level, so much so that I must hurriedly fumble for the audio controls to lower the volume. And the ads start running with no lead time. Just boom, BUY THIS PRODUCT NOW! Other podcasts don’t do this. Of all the podcasts to which I subscribe, Business of Sports alone assaults your ears with loud, LOUD, LOUD! ads. I unsubscribed once because of this. Then it stopped. Now the audio assault is back. Unsubscribing again. Bye, bye, Old Man Barr. I’ll miss ya. But my ears are more important than any podcast.

Ex Cathedra · Jan 2022

As someone who works in the sports industry, this used to be my favorite podcast. I was really dissapointed to see Scott Soshnick go, but still really liked Eben Novy-Williams and Michael Barr. When Eben left the show, it became un-listenable. Jason Kelly is not a good fit for this show and I had to unsubscribe on both Apple and Spotify
