What listeners say

A curated, balanced selection of Apple Podcasts reviews.

I’ve been a fan since I discovered Jimmy’s previous podcast while on my lunch break four years ago. While I was sad to see the SI Podcast come to an end, I’ve enjoyed listening to the first three podcasts of Traina Thoughts. The A-Rod episode was phenomenal and I enjoyed the honest and sincere back and forth between Jimmy and A-Rod. I’m looking forward to hearing which recurring guests will be on the new podcast and also new guests that will be interviewed. Also, I’m looking forward to the additional podcasts throughout the week, especially with Sal and the back and forth that two good friends have about sports and life in general. Cheers to you all and keep up the great work!

I gotta say, the interview with Alex Rodriguez was outstanding. Never liked him as a player and always thought of him negatively. But your interview revealed a side of him I’ve never seen nor heard before. Well done.

Listening to this pod each week is akin to talking with a friend about sports headlines, sports media, and recent noteworthy games, esp NFL, college football, MLB (mostly NY teams), NBA, and WWE. Jimmy is authentic, unpretentious, generally decent, and sometimes funny to boot.

Jimmy keeps me very well informed in the sports media landscape. This knowledge has come in handy at my job and has increased my enjoyment of watching sports. Very excited for what this new pod will bring!
