Love this show but…
I’ve been listening to this show since 2012, going back to the Canal Street Chronicles days when the show was called The Chronic. This is by far one of my favorite podcasts and a highlight of my week. The show has improved over the years, and the investment by Ralph, Andrew, Dave and Kevin is definitely clear. The Jim Mora quote bracket from a couple of years ago is quality podcasting that everyone should listen to. However, this is a two star review. This is because the hosts have always put out at least one free show a week. Even when asking for donations, even when placing ads in the show, you could rest assured that at least on Tuesday, you’d get a good saints podcast. This week, the guys started putting out a “free version” of the show, which is a truncated version of what’s available to patrons. Some of the best segments of the show are behind a paywall if you’re listening on a podcast app; two weeks ago, this was not the case. They didn’t even announce that this change was in the works. Listen, I’m not someone who complains about free content often; this is my first review I’ve ever left on a podcast. I understand that putting on an improving show costs money. However, the big show was one of the best things they put out, and they emphasized that this one was free. Now, only part of it is, and they never mentioned this change was in the works. Even their Twitter show has a free version where they cut it in portions. Just be honest and tell people if change is coming they might not like. I would recommend this show to anyone, but this move doesn’t feel right. First ads, then patreon exclusive podcasts, both of which are totally fine. But taking away the product that you always referred to as the free show and cutting it up? Not cool guys.

Mainly I’m just jealous that these guys put in the effort to make this sort of thing work, because it shouldn’t. Great show.

A podcast I normally enjoy. The grump low energy buzz kill Dave is the worst. Just throws around charges of the nfl teams and coaches being racist. The fans who don’t support the kneeling protests as racist. That’s the last straw. He’s dead weight. The other guys have all the entertainment value...Read full review »
