Spiegel & Holmes Show - Podcast Rankings and reviews

The chemistry between the entire show is absolutely amazing! You get hard hitting analysis and sports opinions. Plus, fantastic “off the rails” moments that will make you laugh for hours. If you aren’t listening to this show, you really should. Best host team of Danny Parkins and Matt Spiegel. Best sound guy in Chris Tannehill. Best executive produce in Shane Riordan. Best all around sports talk show ever on radio.

Love listening to Parkins and Spiegel on my way home from work, it’s my go to during my hour plus commute. The podcast is great to catch up on content that I may have missed. Shane Riordan and Chris Tannehill also provide great banter and perspective.

I love this show/podcast! The reunited duo of Danny and Matt jokes that Parkins & Spiegel is an entirely different show from Spiegel & Parkins, and in some ways, I think it is true. They have the best sound guy on Chicago sports radio, Chris Tannehill, who Danny rightfully points out at the end of every show, "makes us sound better than we are, each and every day." Parkins has come into his own and firmly established himself as the top guy at 670 The Score. Spiegs brings out the best in Parkins, and the addition of executive producer Shane Riordan rounds out the cast nicely for a very enjoyable listen.

I’ve been a fan and listener of Parkins & Spiegel ever since the show started in 2017 (totally different show), and have listened to at least a portion of every episode since then. I particularly gravitate to Parkins since we’re about the same age and I agree with many of his takes (I mean, he was only 3 months ahead of the rest of Chicago on Caleb Williams being drafted by the Bears) but I love the whole show. Chris and Shane are also integral to the show, it would literally not be the same without them.

My only complaint about the show is that they sometimes “rush” through some of their recurring segments, such as Categories or Parkins vs Parkins vs Spiegel vs Spiegel. I ALWAYS want those segments to be longer, feel free to give them more room to breathe!

I just want to add, that since I’m writing this review on draft day, I am giddy with excitement for Tanny to play the drop “well, it is draft day” . Please play it as many times as humanly possible, it cracks me up every time.

Also, my other favorite more recent drop is the “you should know his name!”, which I could use more of as well. But that’s just me.

Seriously, love you guys, please keep up the great show!
