ESPN FC - Podcast Rankings and reviews

I don’t understand how a show from such a big company like ESPN can have such poor sound mixing. At least once a month (including June 27th’s episode), the sound only comes out of the left speaker (except commercials, which are at least mono). Commercials are often way louder than the show’s content and distorted. Been a daily listener since the 2018 World Cup but sad how amateurish the production of the show is sometimes.

Appreciate the show, and the very knowledgeable hosts. This said, they use a fairly narrow prism, probably due to the need to pick for a US audience - a bit obsessed with just a few teams, a little too opinionated and the hosts tend to pile on on the poorly performing team of the day, and are a bit too chummy with a nostalgic 1990s old player vibe. Would love to see more voices and a more diverse set of themes

Great analytics and commentary, but Dan Thomas is just not the right host for the show. Kay Murray is an example of what the show could be. With her as the host it is more calm and entertaining, because it is easier to listen to and follow the flow of the show. The last couple of days was a breath of fresh air, and it was a nice bonus to not listen through half an hour of arguments between Dan and other pundits to get the 30 minutes of quality content in the hour long show.

Easily the best show on espn… the guys keep it real and I laugh daily at all the joke. Great chemistry.

Great topics, great guests. I listened to three episodes before I was too annoyed by the intermittent music and crowd noise tracks that were played during key conversation moments. Just let the guest speak—we don’t need loud and distracting music or crowd chants that have nothing to do with the answers. It’s so disrespectful to the guests that you don’t just give them that space. The noise was only ever put behind the guests, never the host. Who asked for that??

Gab and Jules show used to be one of my favorites. But recently they have started missing the mark on some serious issues (women’s rights, racism, sexism). The story on Hakimi sent me to write the review. No talk of how the alleged victim could be and glossing over the fact that “he is likely to play” I guess this is the type of perspective you get from a supporter of the club owned by Qatar. Really disappointing. Please don’t excuse the omission by saying we are a sports podcast, because you brought up the charges so own it.
