What listeners say

A curated, balanced selection of Apple Podcasts reviews.

This is a tale of two pods. The episodes with Rachel are terrific — she and Mannix are both smart and insightful and they have a great rapport. Evan Turner is not ready for prime time. He’s inarticulate, rambling and seems unprepared. Please find a better second co-host or give us more Rachel!

Desidero · Jun 2026

Really enjoy their basketball takes. Especially when the subject matter is really focused and the guys aren’t riffing. In other words, I’d love if they kept it about basketball and did away with commentaty about Korean dramas & Pusha T. My biggest complaint tho is Rohan stepping all over everyone’s takes by cutting them off. “Can I just say something?” Why ask if he’s just gonna blurt out stuff the instant it pops into his head. On the last ep I listened to, he was asked a question THREE times and just kept going off on tangents. Finally, the guest host just answered it for him.

These guys are the best. Funny but seriously in depth analysis of the league. My go to pod for everything NBA.

AK0008 · Jul 2022

Most of the time the show has really good analysis and is a fun listen. But the host has a major blind spot in his slobbering love for his Boston Celtics. It gets to be a drag. If I wanted to hear from fanboys I would just log on an SB site. I’d prefer more unbiased conversation. When they talk about the rest of the teams in the NBA it’s a really excellent show. Hope they tone that down.
