THE Podcast: Ohio State Football News - Podcast Rankings and reviews

Love these guys, they’re the best in the biz. They provide excellent content, analysis, and context for what’s going on with the Buckeyes & in college football. As a Columbus native & lifelong Buckeyes fan, I really appreciate that these guys aren’t homers & they tell it like it is. Also, they each come with their own strengths, expertise, and styles that meld really well together. This is my favorite podcast out there.

Absolutely love The Podcast. Nothing happens in Ohio State football that Austin Ward doesn't know first. Bill is insanely smart when it comes to Xs and Os. And Birm and Doug always know exactly what you are thinking and feeling as a Buckeye fan. Absolutely worth the subscription for Buckeye nation. A+++

I am an oddball and a sports nerd… so it’s hard to find people that I relate to. Too dorky for the jocks and too jocky for the dorks. But there is a sweet balance on this show of immature jokes, football talk, and total nonsense that hits the nail on the head like this podcast. Doug saying “everything is diapers” had me laughing out of my chair! I am now on the “everything is diapers” bandwagon to introduce into American culture.

Austin, Birm, Landis, and Doug are a special group! They do great work as far as providing quality info for us fans who can’t be with the buckeyes day in and out but on top of that they help you love your team more by the fun they have and bring into these podcasts. Cannot recommend them enough! Thanks guys

As an Ohio State grad and fan, the pod about the Northwestern game at Wrigley Field was an dismal display of unintelligent, misinformed Ohio State homer banter by Birm and Austin. All of this thoughtless nonsense was on the pod:
- Wrigley holds 50k, 60k, 25k?! Wrong, it holds approximately 40k, it would take two minutes to Google that
- The field at Wrigley plays football in one direction?! Wrong, the recent Wrigley renovation made it so the dugouts and some seats could be removed such that play could go in two directions
- Play the game at the Shoe?! Come on
- Northwestern should cancel their seasons while the stadium is being renovated?! Come on
- I don’t understand why Wrigley still has the ivy?! Are you kidding
And probably more insane, half witted things I missed while typing this. You can say a lot of great interesting things on podcasts and build up good will with a fan base only the fumble it a way with one completely misinformed pod. Do some research, put some effort in, or skip the daily pod if you have nothing to say.

In my opinion, this crew is the best overall on the Buckeye beat. Birm is the best at recruiting, hands down. I tune in for most things but my biggest draw is Doug. Here are some thoughts.

1. Doug needs to be paid more and featured more daily. Bill is fantastic, but not a stand alone, and I am extremely disappointed that there is no post-game reaction from Doug on either Saturday or Sunday.
2. I’m not here for Kings of the North and don’t want to hear excuses about it being too much work to do both shows.
3. Austin is the weakest link of the team.
4. Doug and Birm are your biggest assets and you need to lean into that.
