This episode gave me chills! Kate’s emotions while retelling the story had me hooked and on the edge of my couch. Thank you for sharing your stories with us!

Sydthekid12348689 · Aug 2024

I have listened to this Podcast from the very Beginning when it was just Chaps and Captain Cons it was awesome and then when Kate joined the Show the sky’s been the limit. I’m an Army Infantry OIF 3 Veteran and was Medically Retired after 16 years. The show is serious my therapy twice a week on top of the Counseling I go to. When I’m having a tough time a go back and listen to my favorite episodes they make me laugh and cry and just feel because as most Vets know during our Service we were taught to drive on and not to deal with our feelings and once we redeploy it’s ten times worse coming home. Just want to say thanks to Chaps, Cons and Kate for this show and I highly recommend it to not just Veterans but everyone who loves Podcasts.

Quinna55 · Nov 2022

As a 7 year vet of the guard I’ve been looking for a good podcast that allows me to stay somewhat connected to vets & their experience & just this overall messed up but great country we live in. Zero Blog Thirty is it. Has jumped to my top podcast & one I can’t miss. I feel like I’m sitting around BSing with my pals & I freakin think they world of y’all

AJAR581 · Jan 2021

Listening to episode #324 with the winner of the contest and it proves to me I am overdue to throw you a 5 star rating. Listening since near the beginning and even as a civilian with no personal military experience, the stories from the comedy to heart grabbing truths of serving is something I look forward to weekly.

aslin xB · Dec 2020

I think it’s a bit misleading to use the ZBT feed for current show, feels like trying to piggyback off the massively good ratings of the old show. Used to enjoy listening to ZBT every now and then. I have a lot of military in my family, I’m a gold star family member, and I was considering going active duty (decided on civilian service for the armed forces instead), so I used to listen a fair bit. I really wanted to enjoy this show and was looking forward to it being in my regular lineup. I hate leaving poor reviews but it genuinely seems like they just come into this show without having done any prep on the things they are talking about. They also frequently make incorrect assumptions about factual matters that could have been avoided with a single online search. The ads are extremely disruptive in their placement and frequency. I have struggled to remain interested over the course of several episodes and turned it off mid episode today. I have found the flow of conversations to be less compelling than some other podcasts that I listen to. I have felt like there is a distinct lack of humor compared to ZBT as well. My recommendation is to do additional preparation. Get a deeper understanding of the topics you want to talk about, assuming you want this to be an actual informed conversation for listeners and not just hanging out with friends with a mic on. A greater diversity of opinions would also be far more interesting, perhaps some guests that could challenge perspectives on some of the political topics. It very much has the feeling of an echo chamber. I’m not blind to that fact that because I disagree with many of their political takes that likely has an impact on what I think of the show. However, I feel that I would be willing to look past those differences in opinion if it seemed like they were genuinely trying to understand the things they are talking about, I listen to other podcasts and news where I don’t fully agree with the hosts. Additionally, anytime they get close to some form of criticism of the current administration, they immediately back off of it, it’s a very uncomfortable dynamic for me to listen to. It’s almost like they are afraid of upsetting the listeners, Barstool, or maybe each other. I wish them success in their new venture, and I hope that my criticisms are taken constructively and in good faith. I’ll probably check back in a couple more times to see if it gets any better before unsubscribing. I’ll change my review if I notice improvement.

dl740 · Apr 2025

I've been listening to this podcast for at least 4 years and love the content, banter, interviews and not commonly reported stories. I have reached a point where I get increasingly frustrated by the sound mixing going from one host to another having to go full volume to hear and having my ear drums blown out by another saying "mm-hmm". The intro and outro also are vastly ghee volume than the entire rest of the show. This isn't the first time I've complained about this. I find it hard to believe I am the only person with this concern. I do not have these issues with any other podcasts I listen to
