What listeners say

A curated, balanced selection of Apple Podcasts reviews.

“No one’s listening to this.” “Woman don’t listen to this, right?” Hey guys! I’m a woman and I listen- the whole way through every time! Love the show (really I’m only listening for the moment with the dog starts crackling the water bottle- makes my day 😂) Love the perspective and laughs from some real OGs and great friends, sounds like!

Cigarsnroses · Feb 2026

I’ve been a fan of SVP and Stanford Steve since the golden days of ESPN radio with Russillo. This pod does a great job of just having fun, enjoying sports and commenting on the current sporting landscape, all while providing some laughs along the way. Thanks for the content and helping us through our days fellas. I look forward to each episode!

AIRZAC81 · Feb 2026

An absolute “must listen to” for those who love college football, Americana, and the musings of two grounded best friends. Come for the sports; stay for the life perspectives.

@TonyV · Jan 2026

Feels like home listening to SVP chop it up and talk like a normal human being about sports and life in general. Always grounded, funny, humble and sneaky insightful. Glad I rediscovered SVP on this pod in 2025 as it reminds me of the good old days of listening to SVP and Russillo on the radio. Keep up the great work gentleman.

MaGaOt · Dec 2025

I have been a listener for years and enjoyed immensely. However, since the Omaha reboot much of the original appeal is gone. You need to develop segments for listeners to anticipate. On the old pod, there was family life talk to break up the content. My 10-year-old daughter could identify with the family life. I identified with the stories of fatherhood. Flag football, swimming, beach trips and more. You could look forward to One Thing I Hate. Just like Bad Beats and Winners on tv, these segments add variety and depth. Now, it’s just an hour of monotone football conversation with SS frequently talking over SVP. When the MLB playoffs started, including both SVP and Stanford Steve’s favorite teams. Yet, baseball was relegated to a handful of minutes at the end on the O’s (and nothing on the Mets). I love football. But an hour of college and an hour of NFL monotone is largely a waste of 2 hours. Either they have overcommitted to 2 hours on top of their busy schedules or they have become lazy. The result comes across as unprepared and mailing it in. Please shorten the pod and use invest that time in making it more interesting again.

Originally I rated this show a 5 but it’s changed. And that change is the marching in step with the rest of ESPN with all SEC all the time. It’s sad because I respect SVP more than any individual on the network. Still love the extraneous banter but the largest reason so many people love college football is because it’s a national presence, not just a southern presence
