I think the information, whether I agree or not, is compelling. My big issue is they need an audio engineer or something to keep Fentress’ volume at a consistent level. Sometimes he gets so quiet I can barely hear him. It detracts from the quality of the production.

Maybe it’s me, but Aaron doesn’t seem able to maintain reasonably consistent audio levels, whether he’s moving around the mic or simply alternating between shout and whisper. At times it borders on unlistenable, and I find myself constantly adjusting my headphone level. Craig’s audio levels, on...Read full review »

I’ve listened to these guys in the past and didn’t dislike the show, but I tuned into the 10/2/23 episode and they spent the hour mostly trashing the Blazers past and present. Negative, at times uninformed, belligerent takes. Specifically, omitting the fact that Dame never rescinded his trade...Read full review »

This is the podcast for you if you’re looking for some of the worst content about the Blazers. Aaron Fentress often confuses being a clown with being edgy. The only thing he feeds more than his burgeoning belly is his ego. Hopefully he is run out of Blazers coverage soon. I can see why Ducks fans...Read full review »

It’s a shame the local paper of record employs a beat writer for the only major pro team in the state who clearly doesn’t know or like the NBA and would rather be covering football. There are better Blazers podcasts out there.

Nice pod as it’s journalists who are pretty balanced. Good frequency too.

The balance of Casey and Joe worked extremely well and stands in stark contrast to the twitter Stephen A Smith wannabe that is Fentress. Better content and analysis can be found elsewhere where the primary hosts don’t act like they are better than than the listeners.

Beyond just general disagreements with his opinions, I had the absolute displeasure of listening to Fentress talking down on female coaches. I was slightly optimistic after hearing him talk positively about coach Eddy, but then listening to him follow that up by saying that women should be...Read full review »

OMG!!! Get off the steroids! Slow down! With such great content and so much knowledge it’s really sad that so many of us can’t listen to it!

I never listened to the podcast with different hosts so I have no history. I thought Aaron was insightful, knew the team, and appreciates good basketball. The back-and-forth was entertaining and the enthusiasm each host demonstrated was a plus. This Blazer moment has a lot of uncertainty and the...Read full review »

Always nice to hear someone keep it 100

Aaron Fentress is just a rough host. His ability to talk the X’s and O’s of basketball is rudimentary. Due to this, it sometimes makes his analyses hard to follow and clunky. He also gets really stuck on his storylines and takes that he wants to push. Even if they become factually disputed by the...Read full review »

A lot of one star reviews for this podcast. I suspect they are from the fallout from when the Oregonian started this show and ended another. Not the fault of the host who brings a long term reporter’s perspective and has many good insights. I find him refreshing. No random filler. This...Read full review »

I like that Aaron Fentress keeps it real. He makes it known he is a Chicago fan and a Blazer beat writer. He bring objective opinions and good insider details from covering the team. Love the pod!

This is a man who uses logic and reasoning instead of in-the-moment feelings to assess the Blazers. I love it. If you don't like what you're hearing, there problem is probably with you.Read full review »

I enjoyed RCR as much as the next guy, but most of the negative reviews here are mad about what happened, let’s all be honest. Aaron is definitely different but he’s coming into his own. I love the added audio clips of coach/player interviews. The last episode with no guest was solid and had some...Read full review »

With any new podcast, I try to keep an open mind, but this one has just been really hard to listen to. The host has seemed very defensive, goes on long rants, gets off topic quite a bit, and is just overall not fun to listen to. I was particularly disappointed to learn that RCR was ended for this...Read full review »

This is just bad. RCR was so much better. Just don’t bother listening to this.

I don’t enjoy Aaron’s approach and his one sided opinions
eddielugo via Apple Podcasts · United States of America · 01/25/21
Joe is great. Love his analysis, unbiased view, and overall demeanor. Aaron comes off as an arrogant and pretty rude guy. Not interested in this while he’s there.

Where are Casey and Joe? Big mistake guys, big mistake
LaGrandeFan via Apple Podcasts · United States of America · 12/31/20
What is the podcast about? I listened to a good amount of the first episode and they didn’t really talk about the blazers. They actually talked a lot about football. I miss the old podcast that this one replaced.
TheMan J via Apple Podcasts · United States of America · 12/22/20
I’m done reading OLive because they killed RCR.
grantvincentamiths via Apple Podcasts · United States of America · 12/14/20
I like how you emphasized “objective” as if Casey can’t be because he works for the team 🙄. Get the Oregonian to bring Joe and Casey back, and I’ll listen to you AND RCR...imagine that!
