What listeners say

A curated, balanced selection of Apple Podcasts reviews.

Ben is one of the smartest, well-connected reporters covering the Washington Commanders. He also does not indulge in pointless hysterics that you get from so many other sports programs. He delivers the goods and I always come away from his show feeling a little smarter/wiser about my team.

Blue Plains 101 · Aug 2025

Ben is SO good. Incredible access, honest assessments, and an overall likeable guy. A must listen to for any genuine ‘Skins fan!

Spunky ('91) · Jun 2025

Standig is a stand out in the Commanders podcast and media sphere. Always has good insights, a charming personality, and good guests when the there are some on the show. Been a listener for six months now and the quality has been excellent consistently.

Flame arrows · Jun 2025

Ben keeps me updated on the Commanders, even on stuff that doesn’t make his articles. He’s a great follow. Just wish he’d talk a little more Wizards every once in a while. Still, five stars nonetheless

Sponsors needed · Jan 2025

This used to be a good podcast however, it seems recently there has been a lot of ads added to this podcast.. not only ads in the beginning, middle and end but also more ads read by Ben sprinkled throughout the podcast.
