“Richard is terrific and I enjoy the pod very much. I do believe the recent show with Andrew M was not the best listen. I felt on this occasion Richard “over talked” and was a bit long winded on his delivery of the questions. And he stepped on the guest more than I’d ever heard before. He is...”Read full review »

“Great pod overall. Love the long-form interviews even if I don’t catch them all. Where the show really shines for me are the mini episodes with a guest or two that break down ratings for big sporting events at a given moment in time.
Would even like to see one of those mini episodes expanded to...”Read full review »

“Love Richard’s interviews and especially the recent one with Peter King. That he was able to get King so quickly after his retirement shows how much credibility he has in the sports media world. I also loved King’s work and was very sad to see him go. But hearing them reminisce about their...”Read full review »

“I became aware of Mr Richard’s work as an avid listener of Bob Mccowan’s radio program on the Fan 590 in the mid 90s. Give or take a year or two. Content is king and Richard’s work has always been king 👑! I’m not interested in sports 🏀 media from a technical standpoint, but from a business side I...”Read full review »

“The show is great. But when there’s multiple guests, Richard’s voice level is uneven. He sometimes interrupts guests. And James Andrew Miller clearly hates it when Richard teases him—so awkward to listen to. I only know this because I listen to so many episodes.”
