What listeners say

A curated, balanced selection of Apple Podcasts reviews.

I’ve always enjoyed The Herd, and have been listening to Colin since his ESPN radio days. (And his protege Nick Wright’s show First Things First, has replaced the ESPN shows, as my daily TV & YouTube go-to, for sports talk & debate. Check it out if you haven’t; it’ll make you smile if not laugh out loud.) But even as a conservative guy from a conservative state — and by not being strident and over-the-top, like most of today’s political discourse — today Colin really gave me something to think about. He’s 100% right, that in America we may have our problems…but we’re still fortunate to live in the best country in the world — and it’s not particularly close. And he was also right, that most of us in the U.S. aren’t doing terribly these days. It’s still a place where hard work pays off. And I never thought about it, in the way that Colin put it today: if your politics is driven by being unhappy & the idea that “everything about this country stinks” — then where do you go from there, and how is that a proven recipe for success? Notice that Colin, in stepping outside the world of sports, didn’t tell us who to vote for, or who he plans to vote for. In my case at least, he just gave us something to think about. Five stars from this ‘voter’, keep up the good work…and continued success with The Volume!

Your latest podcast with Ericka Ayres was really interesting. I tune in for a lot of the sports, thoughts, perspectives and opinions; but it was really refreshing to hear her perspective on business. Keep up the great work, Colin. Also, your Trump take at the end of the podcast was extremely well said! Keep it going Volume. 👏🏼

Love this format from you. This is straight and to the point, no joking around, no filling the time slot with a story about the Jets. Instant reaction to great games and love that insight. This reminds me of your show prior to coming to Fox where you added a sidekick. I’ll probably switch from that listen to this.

Loved the most recent episode with Nick Wright; prefer your personal pod way more than the radio show - so much more authentic, thoughtful, and you’re at your best in an interview setting.

Joe B from NY · Jan 2024

I’m a LONG time fan and listen regularly. I especially enjoy the John M and Nick Wright episodes but please, please stay away from politics. I listen to sports podcasts to get away from politics and the last thing I will listen to is a sports based pod talking about politics. Our media is saturated in every medium with biased political hacks on both ends of the spectrum. There is an endless supply of that out there. I listen to this pod because I’m looking to escape politics and do so with someone who is intelligent and thoughtful. Won’t listen to any episode where political content is included.
