“BuckeyeTalk has been a daily listen of mine for years, starting in the early days of the B.A.D. Podcast. The current trio of Doug, Stephen, and Nathan balance each other well and offer different perspectives and rationales for their discussions.
Doug is an excellent host, and has incredible passion for topics that is palpable. From ranting about Kirk Ferentz, to coaching standards at OSU, to the quality of questions asked at OSU media events - he’s clearly the OG of OSU coverage and it shows. I don’t always agree with his rants and there’s times I think he’s lost the plot, but I never question his passion or integrity on a topic - even if I’m shouting at my podcast while cutting the lawn.
Nathan is a great balance to Doug. A bit more reserved and has the least OSU connection of the trio. I do love his dry sense of humor and as he’s gotten more comfortable on the pod he is an insightful and measured observer of the team.
Stephen has immeasurably matured as a writer and sports journalist since he joined BuckeyeTalk. It’s honestly been amazing to watch as he’s come into his own on such a high profile beat and program to cover. I also enjoy when he smacks the table while speaking because you know he’s getting fired up. As the youngest member of the trio he also brings a different perspective than Doug and Nathan which was needed. Also, Stephen, excellent job on the recent solo-recruiting pod.
All-in-all BuckeyeTalk is the best listen for OSU fans. You will not always agree with them, sometimes they’ll frustrate you, they’re not fans - and that’s a good thing. But the quality of the discussion, production, and content is unrivaled amongst a sea of OSU podcasts.”
