The Mike Francesa Podcast - Podcast Rankings and reviews

I’ve listened to Mike all the way back to his early Dog days- the halcyon days. And then throughout the rest of of storied his career. He knows NY sports like few others. If there’s anything to critique about his latest venture it’s that volume is too low. Cannot listen to this outside or at the gym. Can barely hear him.

Mike hasn’t missed a step and this forum, without callers or restrictions, only makes him better. He is direct, candid, honest, and honorable without the high school locker room nonsense of current sports radio. Thank god he’s still producing content and callin’ it like he sees it.

Mike, I’ve enjoyed your intelligent and entertaining perspective on so many topics, from sports to politics to current events…whatever is dominating the headlines. I am thrilled to be able to tune into your podcasts on demand as you continue to provide the best insight.

Been listening from the beginning. Your show actually made my commute enjoyable!
Whether it’s the Yankees, college hoops or the NFL, I like your take.

I love Mike. I grew up with Mike. Sitting in the back of my father’s red Toyota on a snowy day listening to him and dog breakdown Knicks play calling. Summer afternoons hearing screaming matches about turning double plays. Crisp fall Sundays going over NFL matchups. He’s a legend. I was sad to hear him retire from radio, then come back, then leave again. So I was elated he started a podcast. Sadly, I think this horse needs to be put out to pasture. Like watching your favorite fighter take those last three fights after they lost the belt to get some extra zeros in the bank account. The legacy is really starting to get damaged here. Constantly repeating his same point over and over. Pauses that last what feels like days to only come back to a rambling thought. Podcasts release times that are extremely sporadic. You’ll get a playoff game preview an hour before the game. He’ll then go missing for two weeks at the biggest moment in sports. The constant hissing and clicking in the background… not to mention a dog barking here and there. Phone calls where you can’t even hear the person on the line that’s his scheduled guest. High pitch points that crackle your speaker. Now, a year into this, we’re seeing episodes posted under one title of what the content will be, only to have it be the same audio file from four days ago. (Knicks 2024 game six postgame review was just the NFL schedule release podcast reposted. Then didn’t even post a game 7 preview.) I love the guy. I hope he’s got enough in the bank for generations of his family to never work again. That said, unless he desperately needs this Bet Rivers and Casa Migos check. It’s time to turn the microphone off. Love ya Mike. Just can’t see ya fade to black this way. I gotta unsubscribe.
