Wasting Potential

“Disclaimer: I am a fan of the podcast and think both Caitlin and Mark seem like really nice people. I do not want to offend anyone who works hard to make the podcast happen, so I hope my feedback comes off as constructive. I am also assuming the goal of this podcast is to grow a larger audience.
Caitlin Cooper is one of the best analysts, basketball minds, writers, and even podcasters in the entire NBA. She notices little intricacies that I have never heard anyone talk about before, and I think she could be as big as anyone in sports media with her talent and knowledge.
That potential makes it so frustrating when now two weeks in a row I have turned the podcast off before finishing because Mark is so frustrating to listen to. He has very little confidence or chemistry, and so the flow of the podcast is absolutely non-existent to the point where I would rather not listen. Below are two examples from Episode 300:
First, Caitlin opens the episode talking about defensive rebounding. It is a fascinating topic that allows the audience to look under the hood of the pacers from a perspective we may not think about. As soon as she finishes her initial analysis, she passes it back to Mark for his thoughts. Rather than reacting to her ideas, he simply goes with his first topic. This defeats the entire purpose of what makes this podcast interesting by skipping over these interesting points of analysis. Mark needs to improve massively on playing off Caitlin.
Second, Caitlin finishes her point about Nembhard and passes the “baton” back to Mark for his next topic. He spends the next two minutes saying “well… ummm… we have already talked about that…” saying nothing until finally coming up with the idea that Rick Carlisle being a good coach is the surprise. The lack of preparation was so annoying that I had to shut off the podcast.
I hope for the best for the this podcast and think Mark has his own strengths he can play to. However, it would be really sad if Caitlin does not reach the level of success she deserves. All love and go Pacers.”

“Mark always has a great rapport with various cohosts , has great questions or topics prepared for his guests. It seems like there is always a good balance in the tone of the show where it isn't overly scripted, yet everyone is well prepared and has thought out responses. I love discussion...”Read full review »

“Love the show, and absolutely love that you guys went out and grabbed Mark. This dude has a stellar podcast of his own, he knows his stuff, and he’s a ton of fun to listen to.
Can’t wait to tune in for new episodes and get updates from the team from one of my fav podcasters!”
