Love the show boys, keep it up! Great window into the state of local Chicago sports. Let’s me keep track of my fave teams while living in a different city. Jurko is insanely funny. You guys capture the mood of the city incredibly well.

I've been listening to this show everyday since 2011 when Harry was on. Gone through the show time changes and it doesn't matter. Carmen and Jurko are one of the most entertaining sports-based radio show during the day. When you listen, each personality becomes almost like a friend. Carmen is your smart, informed, and drives the show. Usually has a conservative view on sports and has GREAT movie review advice along with the great trivia knowledge. I was born in the late 80's, but Carmen is able to bring back those great memories in some of the discussion. Carmen could be great hosting a show about any kind of subject. Jurko is your bully older brother. Although his opinion on sports might seem meathead-ish at times, he's good at giving Carmen and the producers a vocal 'check'. Jurko smells the sport/political BS and tells it like it is when the time calls for it. And comically becomes distracted by the Mazda State Street Studios Window Candy. The producer Danny plays the little brother that trolls you while growing up. I usually disagree with Danny unless he's arguing with Jordan Cornette lol Hopefully they don't take any more time from your slot. The 'alway cheery' Kaplan plays out after a little bit. But the Carmen and Jurko Show has been great for over 5 years. I'll keep listening everyday. @PirateLifeFF

CJH are hilarious and very informative about chicago sports. Along with waddle and silvy, this is the best sports talk on the radio.

You guys put on a great show. It is the right mix of experienced analysis (Yurko), journalistic professionalism (Carm), and idiot savant sports knowledge (HT). The only thing missing is sultry voiced female sports nut. But hey, three for four is a good day at the park.

ESPN Chicago radio is very mediocre in my opinion. I forced myself to listen to this podcast until I found The Spiegel and Goff show. Spiegel and Goff have better interviews, more in depth sports talk, and have better radio personalities than anyone at ESPN.
