What listeners say

A curated, balanced selection of Apple Podcasts reviews.

This is a great podcast that every canes fan should listen to. Straight talk. No nonsense. New episodes every couple of days with in-depth analysis and great recruiting scoops.

LowRiderFool · Sep 2022

David and Gaby bring great analysis and keep it real. They are fans of the program and want it to succeed, but don’t let that cloud their judgment of how the team or administration is performing. Any hot-takes are always backed up with sound judgment. Even if they say it’s just a feeling you find it hard to disagree. Gaby had just a feeling Miami would pull off a close one against NC state in October 2021. Their breakdowns are in-depth and they provide the best recruiting news you can find on a podcast.

GucciCane · Nov 2021

Gabi has grown on me and is bringing great insight and honesty without being hot take-y. The honesty from both hosts will be appreciated as the rest of the season is going to be rough and the fans deserve to be informed about what is not up to par as we see things fall apart, not after the fact when it’s “safe” to let the skeletons out of the closet.

Visc@B@rc@1 · Sep 2021

By far the best most in depth Miami podcast out there. David lake and Gaby are on the beat and have the pulse of the program.

Longtime subscriber to the site and big fans of the work you guys do. I listen to just about every single Canes podcast and this is easily one of the best out there but these ads and their placement make me want to bail on this show entirely. Get your money but learn how and where to place ads without compromising the flow and overall listening experience of your show. Having ad reads that are repetitive and so obscure that most don’t even care to listen is a good way to lose listeners. Figure it out before I bail and others do as well. We already pay you for “VIP” info that we can truly find for free so when you hop on the mic to share said “VIP” info stop being greedy and making us listen to ads. You already litter the website with them.
