In the desert that is sports radio, Heed the Call is an oasis. It’s funny. It’s insightful. I’ve listened to these guys for years and you should too.
——AR——- · Sep 2026
I’ve been listening to this podcast for about a decade now and it’s remained one of my favorites through all its iterations. These are good friends having a great time talking football; reminds me of sitting around with my guy friends in college, listening to them talk smack about each other’s teams. You’re all heroes!
Midlife Grrrl · Apr 2026
This was my favorite podcast for almost a decade, but this season I have found myself enjoying it less and less. The snark, sarcasm and jadedness just seems to have crept up, and I feel less and less the classic ATL ‘mirth’ and love of the sport which used to be the calling card. Doesn’t give me any pleasure writing this as it used to be a big source of joy in my life.
JPRaven13 · Jan 2026
I need to start by saying I LOVED ATN! It was by far my favorite podcast and on days there was no episode, I’d listen to past episodes. Like most fans, this summer chaos was horrible and it was heartbreaking that A) the NFL would actually get rid of 2/3 of their most popular podcast and B) that Gregg didn’t leave with the other heroes.
Now, this is not a bash on Gregg. While he was never my favorite hero he seems like he made the best choice for him and his family. I can’t blame him for that. But I had to make a choice here. I listen to HTC and NFL Daily all season and, for me, it’s not close. HTC has most of what I loved about ATN. Now, is it perfect? No!
Dan and Marc need someone to reign them in sometimes and focus their attention and Gravedigger is not that. But the positives outweigh the negatives here and I am choosing the heroes of the HTC podcast!
JBL1990 · Jan 2025
The magic of ATN was in its mix of mirth & hardcore analysis. HTC leans way too much into the mirth, because that’s Hanzus’ strength. The drops are repetitive & even troll-ish. Justin & Conor are great in small chunks but lean too much on humor & bits as full time contributors. Marc seems to just not have much to say & feels replaceable in the position he’s in. The chemistry & contradictions between Marc, Dan, Gregg, & Wes were what made ATN the greatest sports podcast ever but HTC lacks that. The constant spam (Ellen Moore, Farbuck, etc.) are just too much now. If you’re actually like, a football fan & like talk about football & not self-indulgent Morning Zoo nonsense, look elsewhere. I’d recommend Mike Tanier’s Substack.
War Eagle Beagle · Mar 2026
Gave 17 weeks of the flagship show (recap) a try but the vibes are simply awful. Dan is miserable. Marc is an incredible writer but provides very little substance in this format, where his outlook on a team is so surface level based on their most recent performance. Between Graver, Orr and the hosts, they often come off like they hate football. So far, a failed experiment to recreate the magic of the ATN
