What listeners say

A curated, balanced selection of Apple Podcasts reviews.

I started listening to the Zone because I needed a Kansas City radio show to listen to, and I was familiar with Josh from the Postgame shows on 810. I really enjoy Jason as a host, and I think they do a great job talking about the sporting events that people want to hear about!

Braeden.Ross · Mar 2023

Jason brings over a decade of radio experience back home to Kansas City to talk about the teams he knows best. If you’re a fan of Kansas City sports, you’ll appreciate his local insight and passion for home town teams (unless you’re a Kansas fan) mixed with plenty of humor. Great addition to a strong lineup for WHB.

RMurphy03 · Aug 2019

Show kinda feels stale without more guests. Love when Field Yates comes on, and miss Mitch Holthus. More insiders would make this show better, as it is I skip it more often than not.

Adamzme · Oct 2020

This show is 100% dependent on great national guests. Otherwise it’s a 10-2pm black hole featuring the classic sports talk pitfalls of tired forced humor. The host could be tolerable but doesnt add anything really substantive to offset the personality. Not clear why he was 810’s choice for mid day since the other two shows are fantastic. I’m still scratching my head on this hire.
