Customer Reviews
This is a must subscribe for the Chicago Sports nut with a social conscience.
This is a great sports media podcast channel that will one day rival the big ones out there. But Sports isn’t the only topic. This channel doesn’t shy away from important social and political issues of the day. It’s a great outlet for a great broadcaster in Laurence Holmes and his friends. Sports Adjacent is a must listen every weekend. Most of you reading this have no friends. I get that. Well, Sports Adjacent is there for you. Just listen in and you can hear what having friends is like.
Any episode with Leila Rahimi is a banger. She is too good for Chicago so enjoy it while she is still here and before the national media types steal her. Then, you can be a hipster and “um actually” your friends when she’s on a national morning show. You can say that you were a fan of Leila Rahimi when she was doing local Chicago radio and podcasting. Your parents had Bill Kurtis and Lester Holt. You have Leila Rahimi.
And Laurence delves into pop culture as well. Star Trek (Bloodwhine), comic books (his own as well as others), and his other varied interests find space here. You like Marvel Comics? Boom. Here you go. You like DC Animation? Here, have some analysis.
And now I shall put various keywords here to help with the mysterious algorithm. Bears. Cubs. Bulls. Blackhawks. White Sox? Marvel DC 108 Chicago Sky Progressive Driver. Is this enough? I wish I was creative enough to put together an acronym just to tick off Bernstein, but my flight is boarding now so I’ll just stop this review. 😂
Love House of L
Great Chicago sports podcast! Whether you’re a local or out of towner this podcast keeps you connected to what’s really going on in the Chicago sports scene. Laurence pulls no punches and gives honest insight. Gives both praise and blame when due.
House of L is a big W
I have a long commute back and forth to work and listen to a ton of podcasts. House of L is one of my favs! Laurence Holmes could read a dictionary and make it entertaining.
