What listeners say

A curated, balanced selection of Apple Podcasts reviews.

Ray G and J Rich work super well together. They’re entertaining and informative the whole time and they’re both top fantasy minds. Reminds me a lot of the old Sonic Truth Dynasty pod with Matt Kelley and Nate Liss! Tied for my favorite dynasty pod with the Mind of Mansion pod!

akimmykim · Mar 2023

I’ve listened to an embarrassing number of dynasty-related podcasts and this is actionable, entertaining, and there’s principles embedded which go far beyond a take on a player. Ray shows his work and he’s great.

FF5dissapointment · May 2022

Unable to listen to the show live but I love listening to the pod while I’m working! Perfect combination of fantasy information and entertainment from Ray and JRich

basedrod9dime · May 2022

RayG and JRich absolutely start my morning off right M-TH. First of all, the intro song is dope and gets your mind right for the next hour of nonstop actionable content for your dynasty decisions. I rarely make a major decision in my leagues without first listening to this show. Extremely entertaining and knowledgeable, RayG and JRich bring valuable discussions to the forefront of every episode that ultimately have made me a much more competent dynasty owner over the course of the past few years.
