The Growler

by Paul Dehner Jr.

Paul Dehner Jr., senior Bengals writer for The Athletic, takes you inside Paycor Stadium to keep you informed and entertained on all things Bengals. He's joined by Mo Egger of ESPN1530, Charlie Goldsmith of Fox19 & Charlie's Chalkboard, Jay Morrison, of Sports Illustrated and comedian Mark Chalifoux across four shows a week to elevate the conversation about the team from gritty details to philosophical debates to comical storylines and postgame analysis.

This is the best bengals pod out there! Informative, up-to-date, great hosts and guests, and all-around enjoyable!

No one knows the Bengals better than Paul. Very informative and super entertaining, great podcast!

CrazyLikeAFox22 · Feb 2025

The growler is a must listen for the variety of insights and quality Bengals analysis. Then, you add Charlie Goldsmith. This is an embarrassment of riches of quality bengals coverage. If only the bengals could cover like you cover the Bengals!

smh7217 · Dec 2024

I have enjoyed the variety of the episodes with the various folks that come on the show. The only part I dislike is the realtor bit that is disguised as Bengals talk. Please drop that part. Everything else is super solid, especially the good ole PD&Jay episodes as well as any time Mo is on. He’s so self-deprecating but hopefully he knows deep down he’s really really talented at sports talk.
