Great podcast with a nice mix of personalities and perspectives. Most of the hosts have known each other for years now, and it shows. I have listened to every episode for years now. Some hosts are very analysis driven (Mike), others are more qualitative (Stephania), and then others are a bit more of a mix (Field, Daniel). I honestly listen as much for the entertainment factor, and to have a break from more serious things, as I do for the fantasy advice itself. The only critique I have is that Daniel calls everybody his best friend all the time. This is something that grates me, personally, as if everybody is your best friend then nobody is, and the word loses all meaning. I know he addressed this recently, and plans to continue doing so. Oh, and I guess the fact that they are hamstrung (rated G) by ESPN.
Update: PLEASE STOP THE NEW BACKGROUND MUSIC. It’s genuinely unbearable. New listener and first-time reviewer. I’m a fan. It’s fun, good personalities, thematically positive and upbeat, and, of course, solid fantasy advice. That said, I have a few (hopefully, actionable) pieces of advice/requests/criticism: - Please, no more games (or other segments) that require visual participation. I understand this show is both a podcast and a TV show, but the “imposter” game—or whatever it is as supposed to be?—was pretty unbearable. Please consider the audio-only portion of your audience when planning the segments. - Field, stop interrupting everyone so often. It’s off-putting. - Daniel, love your energy, but please do a bit more homework. - This goes mostly for Field (and maybe Daniel) but should apply to everyone: Stop the occasional glaze-fest where you go on and on about so-and-so’s virtues. When overdone, it just feels performative/disingenuous, or at best, too much. - Stephania and Chris - No notes. Love the show, but there’s always room for improvement, especially with the attention to your listeners.
The sound mixing is unbelievably poor. The listener will be listening to some analysis and then BAM— incredibly loud “background” music for no reason. I miss when this podcast was just a podcast, instead of repurposed audio from a TV program.
Positives: it’s a daily show and it comes out on time. The format of the show is pretty consistent. The crew consists of a former scout, a data guy and medical professional allowing you to get different takes. Negatives: the board bets between each of the crew, so much non-football talk, the excessive love of their favorite teams (SF & Det), and the former producer is now an analyst (who seems nice but is a fan like all of us which doesn’t make him qualified). The fast forward button and playing at 1.25-1.5 speed was made for this show.
That’s all. Love the show. But this new music behind them while they are reading out stats is really distracting. Just tone it down a bunch. It could be a could touch if it wasn’t so loud. Thanks!
I loved this show for a long time been listening since 2011 and I loved the good times and transitional times as we away from Nate to field. It still flowed however once Matthew left it losts it’s way it feels like. Yes Matthew brought banter and derailed often. But Daniel just seems to not hit mark with being the main host and I can’t understand his analysis. nothing against him as a person just he doesn’t seem like a good fit for that role. Not that my opinion matters but I just wanted to vent I guess. It is no longer in my podcast rotation
