What listeners say

A curated, balanced selection of Apple Podcasts reviews.

I listen to their podcast daily from Grand Rapids, MI. Waddle and Silvy are genuine and such a fun listen. Highly recommend. True Chicago sports fans and you can tell they are passionate about the city and their teams. Sincerely, Jay”R” from G.R. (flipcyde23)

I’ve respected Waddle since he entered the world of sports media, and I honestly feel that his simple yet skillful football breakdown is underrated and some of the best in the industry. I’ve been a fan of Silvy since I first moved to Chicagoland and had little knowledge of the local sports. His passion and skills have sharpened to be one of the strongest voices on radio. However, when Tom said “THUMB-GOOD” in a mocking response to Silvy’s reaction to yesterday’s conversation about toes vs thumbs, I literally spit my coffee all over my steering wheel. It’s gems like this that keep me listening. Congratulations to your success so far, and please keep making me laugh.

Best Chicago sports show. Makes me laugh and keeps me informed. Also keeps me sane on my commutes in Japan.

I moved to Arizona 23 years ago. However the Chicago sports love has never left me. These guys make me feel right at home. I can relate to everything. Even the local humor brings me back. Haven’t missed a podcast in over 5 years.

I’ve been listening to Waddle and Silvy since the start in 2007. Every day. I also worked with them a few times during past brand/team events. Over the last few weeks with all the QB talk, while they try to sell themselves as balanced on the future options, it’s clear which way they lean and it’s become unlistenable daily. Finally had to delete the feed. Maybe I’ll return at some point, but laughing at a large part of the fan base has become tiresome. And I’m not even in the keep Fields camp. Hopefully a return to listenable radio post draft.
