Love the actual show - the Junks are consistently entertaining for me, but I will NEVER subscribe, because of all of the extra garbage mini segment downloads. If I’m behind a day or two I have to delete 20-30 auto-downloads!
Also, the commercial placement is infuriating, and whoever’s in charge of that is terrible at their job. The Junks will throw it to break but will immediately be back, then 5 minutes later a jarring block of commercials will interrupt them mid-sentence.

The boys behind the glass are hilarious. Love hearing the behind the scenes chatter - and especially what annoys the producers. Keep it up, guys! 👏🏼

You guys work great together. Love the sports radio, but love how it just feels like 4 friends hanging out and shooting the breeze even more.

I grew up on the Eastern Shore of MD, but only recently (within the last couple years) started listening to the Junks and it kills me that I missed all those years in the interim! They’re hilarious, they provide great insight, and I even love it when they delve into their individual interests. Love every aspect of it.

Long time listener of the Junkies. I’m probably always going to be listening until they retire. My rating and review here is based strictly on the podcast format. Please stop with all the extra segments in feed. Just stick to the 1 hour episodes. For everyone with auto downloads on, which is most people, we a basically downloading the whole show twice and having half a dozen or more extra entries that we have to now delete every day. Additionally, the order of release has changed. Full hour episodes used to come out as soon possible after airing, now they don’t come out until after the segments are added to the feed first.

It’s obvious that they don’t care about listeners or user experience by uploading a bunch of clips then uploading hour segments in reverse order. It might help short term download metrics but they’ll lose listeners in the process.
