Love the pod. And missing it tremendously for that good sports content! Nothing really like it out there to replace the empty space.

Jason and guest briefly covered the womens soccer euros but said, “we haven’t watched any games until the semifinals, but like you should supports women’s soccer.” Their argument was the tournament lacks parity. But they cover MLS like it’s EPL and don’t acknowledge that MLS has crap parity. If...Read full review »

Jason is engaging, endearing, and in depth. Just needs more take survivor!

One of the guys says “Excetera” all the time, which is very painful

Excited for Takeline 2.0. Hopefully Jason gets a good co-host this time around.

I appreciate how Renee & Jason blend sports fandom with real world discussions! Can’t wait to see what you do next Renee!

Engergy is incredible. Fantastic!

I like the vibe and the shows format. Super talented team!!
Coldbear76 via Apple Podcasts · United States of America · 11/30/21
Just not great. It’s a competitive market there needs to be a reason to listen and without prior guest hosts Jason lacks the interest
Willwdj via Apple Podcasts · Australia · 10/31/21
Love you Jason, but this isn’t for me.
Jewnbug25 via Apple Podcasts · United States of America · 09/14/21
I think Jason is a talented podcaster, but this just ain’t it. Makes it worse that the rest of Crooked are trying to force him on their audience…
mix_22 via Apple Podcasts · United States of America · 08/23/21
I’m available when you don’t have a let’s go person.
GopherGolfer609 via Apple Podcasts · United States of America · 08/14/21
There’s a lot of reviews on here sharing the same sentiment…it’s just okay at it’s best, and it’s bad at it’s worst. Been a big fan of Jason’s since his time at Grantland and because of that I so badly wanted this to become one of my favorite podcasts. Though after months of trying, I’m finally...Read full review »

Had to give up on this unfortunately. I love Jason and he is a delight but I think Renee is unfortunately a weak link here. I stuck with it for several months but I just didn’t feel like it got better over time so I had to unsubscribe. I hope I see Jason branch out into other things and I’ll...Read full review »

Let me start by saying I really do wish these guys all the best and hope they can make the show something special one day. Ok now the review: I’m a huge fan of Jason’s work from The Ringer. Binge mode with Malory was lightning in a bottle. It captured heartfelt passion, deep dive analysis,...Read full review »

2 for Rene. I’m not sure why anyone would listen to Concepcion’s voice on purpose.
Be bonobo via Apple Podcasts · United States of America · 07/31/21
This show is breaking my heart a little. I have been an enormous fan of Jason’s throughout all of his endeavors. His voice has been coming through my headphones for literally hundreds of hours. But this show is trash, to use a phrase he likes to use. It’s like cable access First Take. Not that He...Read full review »

Jason and Renee are crushing it; long live Takeline
PJ-H via Apple Podcasts · United States of America · 07/03/21
Lazy analysis of games. Everything is based on feeling and bias rather than actually looking at the numbers.
pd771 via Apple Podcasts · United States of America · 06/29/21
Every week I listen and love Jason who always brings it but I expected more from Renee. She cloaks herself with “I played and have all these rings” and then uncorks takes that are worse than skip bayless. Hate seeing a ex player regress to being a casual. Hopefully when the playoffs end and her...Read full review »

Renee and Jason are making a good decision to focus on what they’re passionate and knowledgeable about, because that will lead to a better show. But they’re the only sports podcast Crooked is putting out right now, and their most recent episode didn’t cover: UEFA ordering Manuel Neuer not to...Read full review »

Listened to one episode of this podcast on a whim and it was so good that I watch sports now
hwinhk via Apple Podcasts · United States of America · 06/15/21
I love Renee and what she brings to this podcast which is knowledge of the game, humor, and sensitivity to the numerous issues of these times. Thank you, Renee
mickimpls via Apple Podcasts · United States of America · 06/15/21
Jason and Renee are so entertaining that I subscribed just for them and I’m learning more about sports as a result. Love the show!
nimbochromis8 via Apple Podcasts · United States of America · 06/15/21
Binge Mode had to die for this to live?
PricePoint via Apple Podcasts · United States of America · 06/13/21
It helps to like sports
ENP48230 via Apple Podcasts · United States of America · 06/09/21
Now we know where Jason gets his quick wit and sense of humor. As a binge mode crossover fan and follow Jason’s content, hearing them interact is a gift! What a guy, bringing on mom for a take.
ss_teacher via Apple Podcasts · United States of America · 06/01/21
If you’re gonna wade into the crowded world of sports media, you better have a hook: either wide-ranging knowledge or deep knowledge of one specific thing—this show has neither. Jason seems to have a greater breadth of knowledge, whereas Renee is just a passenger on any discussion of anything...Read full review »

I love this show but not one single mention of the WNBA today - disappointed. This is a great platform to promote women in sport, and especially basketball. Please don’t become like all the other shows.
LD06824 via Apple Podcasts · United States of America · 05/25/21
So fun, but filled with facts, takes on the good, bad, ugly. Great personalities for hosts. Love survival game. A podcast I’d recommend for 17+ kids. I am a grandma!
mystwin1 via Apple Podcasts · United States of America · 05/18/21
Love the whole thing. Never would have thought a sports podcast could be truly different and a way to learn. Really well done.
Jal3237 via Apple Podcasts · United States of America · 05/12/21
Brilliant - funny - entertaining - thank u
Carvago via Apple Podcasts · United States of America · 05/12/21
Wonderful podcast- interesting content, excellent presenter chemistry and brilliant production.
MaggieTulliver via Apple Podcasts · Great Britain · 05/11/21
I listen because I want inclusive content . I found the take that the perception of American sports fan is more player specific than team specific very interesting and not even close to the experience of my life as a fan of Buffalo sports. If you need to see passion for a team on American soil...Read full review »
BfloDavid via Apple Podcasts · United States of America · 05/05/21
It kills me slightly when Renee doesn’t say “Let’s go!” in a high pitch at the start.. Other than that, big fan!
mikey dastano via Apple Podcasts · United States of America · 05/04/21
The hosts are high energy and fun. They are both very knowledgeable. I will listen to this while exercising not while I’m trying to fall asleep.I had to write another review because I think the show is getting better and better. This is my favorite take on basketball. I also think basketball is...Read full review »
lalala123 via Apple Podcasts · United States of America · 04/30/21
Really bummed because I wanted to love this show but it’s not a sports podcast, it’s a basketball podcast. I was hoping for more well rounded content but as a sports fan who doesn’t love the NBA, this missed the Mark for me.
nbrodzik via Apple Podcasts · United States of America · 04/27/21
Like the breadth of topics covered. Appreciate strong representation for women’s sports from Renee.
HypothetiFan via Apple Podcasts · United States of America · 04/24/21
I would give this podcast 6 stars if I could. Thoroughly entertaining from start to stop with a perfect blend of sports, pop culture, and politics. Renee and Jason have incredible chemistry as hosts and bring on excellent guests. And the SEGMENTS!! Take Survivor and Sad, Mad, or Bad are...Read full review »

I am a huge Jason Conception fan from his time on Binge Mode, The Connect, Desktop, & his occasional appearances on the other Ringer podcasts. Unfortunately Renee Montgomery is just not ready for prime time. Renee has a lot of basketball knowledge, but not much else. She has a morning drive...Read full review »
Mambie36 via Apple Podcasts · United States of America · 04/22/21
It’s like sitting in on some great sports conversation, with tangents on entertainment or world news, and always with an eye on inclusion. Representation matters, and hearing a knowledgeable and energetic FEMALE voice makes this my favorite sports pod.
Jaybeesq via Apple Podcasts · United States of America · 04/20/21
Really good shoe. Where can we buy them Takeline hoodies
JimmyInReview via Apple Podcasts · United States of America · 04/14/21
I love the energy and chemistry Jason and Renee have. They perfectly blend sports culture and politics!
Cmr4gym via Apple Podcasts · United States of America · 04/13/21
This was the nba podcast I’ve been craving. Funny and informative as well as engaging and bold when approaching the difficult topics. Check it out!
donmattaddis via Apple Podcasts · United States of America · 04/13/21
Amazing mix of sports, culture and politics. It’s fun, serious, informative and hilarious, and if you don’t listen, there will be a bat in your house when you come home.
M.O.W.K. via Apple Podcasts · United States of America · 04/08/21
I have been listening to podcasts for about ten years and have been a big fan and subscriber to all Crooked Media podcasts and yet, have no bothered to review a single one until now. Takeline is what happens when you build a show around two great personalities which elevates the product to be...Read full review »

Worst voice ever. I hear these dumb commercials on another podcast I listen to. You couldn’t pay me to listen to this dudes voice for more than 30 seconds
kingdonk9387 via Apple Podcasts · United States of America · 04/07/21
I love the energy and dynamic between Renee and Jason. They are awesome together. Jason is straight up hilarious. I love Renee’s energy and passion, she always gets me pumped up when I listen to her! Letssssss Gooooooooo!
Js on my feet 87 via Apple Podcasts · United States of America · 04/07/21
I love how they talk about important issues, but balance it out nicely with fun and jokes! I don’t normally care about sports much at all, but this podcast makes me want to get into basketball now! 😊
