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.

TomMcD04 · Jul 2021

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.

Norfolkster · Apr 2021

I have closely followed The Junkies since they first came on the commercial scene (if memory serves, it was Saturday Afternoons for one or two hours - first guest I clearly remember was Craig Masback, the former great miler, AAU Head, Anti-Doping leader, and now Senior VP with Nike). I have since seen the “lost episodes” from their even earlier days on Public Access TV. It was clear from minute one they had a unique and charming interpersonal chemistry, enhanced by really interesting and fun language. Put in simple terms I love The Junks - and believe me, this is weird for a 71 year old to be saying. In a sense they are my temporary escape each weekday from “life.” I listen now via podcast and I never ever miss hour one - it’s wonderfully pure escapism in which they just talk about their lives and hot takes for the day. Just average guys with extraordinary chemistry. I love Lurch relentlessly seeking the next “hook,” running a swingers operation serving Ashburn, and Theresa refinishing furniture in their over stuffed garage. I love Cakes, the degenerate gambler willing to bet on how many times he will “smash” Amy on a three day trip to Vegas. I love EB, even if he never pays attention. Ok, and I like JP in small doses when he isn’t on one of his excursions down a path to save the world. And yes, I still miss the SUPDOG himself, Brett Oliveri - my Hearst aches for what happened to his brother but I admire anyone that went “back in” to save his dog. And now I love Valdez - and by extension, Laura. Keep going guys - it’s only been 25 years, even if you are still DONKS, and I am (as always) MONEY!! Everyone, everywhere should be listening - and God bless you for having the courage to both help Larry and treat him almost like anyone else...and I am still fascinated by Hymie from Manassas.

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.

MaverickStar7 · Sep 2023

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.
