Michigan Insider - Podcast Rankings and reviews

Sam and Ira are the best for University of Michigan sports. The only reason I didn’t give it five stars is because the sound quality is not brilliant, particularly when there are callers (either listeners or people being interviewed). There are so many times when the callers are almost inaudible and Sam is super loud. Maybe we can crowdfund a new sound board for them. Could be the sound engineer as well, I don’t know. The worst was when Braylon Edwards’ dad used to have a segment. He would be mumbling inaudibly, so we would turn it up, and then Sam would speak and blow out our ear drums. If they could invest in the sound quality, this would be a five star podcast all the way because the content with Sam and Ira is A+!

I listen to Sam, Ira and crew 5 days a week podcast from Florida, love it. One issue, the volume for guests is much lower than the host. Much too loud for commercials. Sound engineering needs improvement.

Good team, great show. Knowledgeable and Entertaining. They are my #1 go to for UM sports. So good that OSU fans tune in to catch up on the latest UM news. Sam rocks it!
I also highly recommend the “Michigan Insider” with Sam and Tim… in some aspects, an even better show.

I have been listening to Sam and Ira on the Michigan Insider for years now. In reading the reviews I see folks complaining about the political slant of the show. I appreciate that you guys address all sports issues, even when they are difficult and may intersect with politics. Keep up the good work and DON’T EVER CHANGE!

I used to listen to several segments a day and I NEVER missed the Mgoblog, Bacon and Recruiting Roundups. I also would listen to everything on Mondays to hear them breakdown the games. For the last couple of years the politics have seeped into so many of the topics that I can’t take it. It would be better if they acknowledged more than one side but it’s clear these guys are true Ann Arbor natives. They don’t even realize they are turning people off because they are in such a bubble.

The sound is horrible. I can’t hear the people speaking without squeaking and sound interference. Podcasts should be better produced. Where is sound engineering? Limiter? I love the content and opinions. But it is nearly unlistenable. Listen to more if I can take it. But alas it has never improved in years
