What listeners say

A curated, balanced selection of Apple Podcasts reviews.

I am a big fan of Bryan Curtis. Adding Joel Anderson to the podcast was a terrific move. He is thoughtful and opinionated and not afraid to disagree with Bryan which makes an already enjoyable podcast even better now.

Sesdjsjds · Dec 2024

Bill Walton on David Halberstam and his book the Breaks of the Game is one of the best podcasts I’ve ever heard. I didn’t fully appreciate Bill’s storytelling ability after hearing him call games but that was amazing. Makes me want to read the book and then listen to this one back.

asgrehbdheh · Feb 2024

The absolute best podcast on media. I love the jokes, interviews, and analysis. All around a great listen!

Yck1000 · Oct 2023

Great podcast! One I look forward to each week. One minor complaint. Please consider removing the sounds that are behind Bryan Curtis’s voice on Weekend Headlines. Adds no value and makes it almost unlistenable.

Will Tuc · Sep 2023

In some ways I enjoy this show when they stick to media analysis but when they get political their bias shows with their passive aggressive comments and chuckles. Also the half this pod is Curtis opining and the other guy going “mhmm”. Just a weird dynamic.
