What listeners say

A curated, balanced selection of Apple Podcasts reviews.

When listening to the Top 40 player episodes there is harsh background noise bleed throughout. I am shocked that this has happened twice now, it renders the episodes basically unlistenable. Easy to fix with a noise gate. Love yall, please for my ear’s sake get on this.

The additions of Trey Rowland, Coach AB, and Kevin has improved the overall podcast experience on OTB. The content is informative and gives much more insight on all things Florida State. Thanks!

I’ve been listening to the major FSU Podcasts for about 4 years, and I always listen to OTB first, when multiple come out at the same time. The cast is great. They are usually the first with any pertinent FSU information, and they are very realistic in their opinions. I love the core of OTB, and they’ll always be my favorite, but with the addition of so many people to cover FSU, who bring unique tools to the table, there is truly something for everyone. If you’re into recruiting, film, game analysis, you’ll find anything and everything you need here.

Hard to find a more genuine pod. It can get off the tracks at times, but that’s part of the charm. The addition of Trey and Coach AB have been fantastic.

Sonnone is Great; funny, awkward and informed. He knows his stuff and makes it a great listen. I love how he breaks down scouting and his immense football knowledge. The rest… not so much. Chris feels like human ChatGPT in the robotic way, Zach adds very little and is gross to see on the YouTube versions. The pod is missing Dane who was entertaining and very knowledgeable about scheme and talent evals. Follow for sonnones content and let’s hope Dane makes a comeback.

AJperry73 · Aug 2025

Audio quality is terrible. Everyone’s mic is a different level, audio level is never steady. FSU knowledge is great, but Brendan always makes sure to interrupt while someone else is giving it. He thinks it’s quirkiness, but it’s just terrible hosting and detracts from the pod. Had to drop this one from my list of Noles podcasts.
