What listeners say

A curated, balanced selection of Apple Podcasts reviews.

This was a fantastically produced series. Keefer did a great job. I would imagine there’s not a lot of new information here if you followed the saga as a colts fan, but I’m a relatively new football fan and hearing about one of the potentially best quarterbacks of all time retire early was very enjoyable. This adds a lot of context to the current struggles of the Colts organization.

ATownDownTownDirtySouth · Jun 2025

This is a must listen series if you love the game of football and want insight into the work, challenges, sacrifices the men that play the game go through. Good on Andrew for walking away on his terms and for his mental well being. Keefer has gone to a new level of reporting and this is an award deserving series.
