2 boring dudes that have been in the industry forever. Good writers but doesn’t mean you need a podcast. Also you can constantly hear one of their phones vibrating on the table throughout the podcast.

Fellas, I have been a fan for a long time but can we please talk about football during football season? Realignment is great April conversation fodder, but just an absolute buzzkill in October! I don’t enjoy being reminded that our sport is dying a slow death during the few weeks of the year when...Read full review »

Hearing Bruce say he isn’t a fan of the Hurricanes kinda hurt. I thought we had media representation.
Sergeant Dad via Apple Podcasts · United States of America · 09/19/24
Love Bruce, but his inability to recognize any criticism of Deion Sanders seems like a weird conflict of interest situation. I hope he succeeds as well cause I believe it would lead to more teams bringing in African American former players, but it’s been undeniably a mess on and off the field in...Read full review »

Good analysis during the season but not the insight of other podcasts. Feldman has to be tired of carrying water for Deion and the Buffalos. Coach Prime has enough apologists but no guess we can’t make him mad if his conference is still on Fox.

These guys are very informative and straightforward. The only thing keeping this from 5 stars is Bruce’s use of the word “Like”. If you play a drinking game where you take a drink every time he says “like”, you’ll be dead before the episode ends.

Insightful hosts with the experience not to get carried away about the implication of each little bump in the road.
bjm1954 via Apple Podcasts · United States of America · 06/04/24
Really good insight and relevant topics. Really enjoy Bruce but Stew comes off a bit arrogant and condescending sometimes. Still a good listen

Auto bids is all over the NFL/MLB/NBA/NHL and other professional sports. Not one of these leagues takes the best teams. Example: The NFL doesn’t take the best 14 teams out or 32. They auto bid 7 teams from the NFC and 7 from the AFC. MLB auto bids 5 from the NL and 5 from the American League....Read full review »

Informative show about CFB! Always a good listen.

Feldman is arrogant and dismissive of Mandel. Would love for Stuart to tell him to F off. And Feldman’s smokers voice is irritating
Irishtom11783 via Apple Podcasts · United States of America · 02/01/24
There's nothing you get from this show that you can't get anywhere else. Also, there are a lot of awkward moments with (mostly Bruce) shooting Stew down & it's clear they are doing this only for the athletic & not because they're buddies. Often feels uncomfortable.Read full review »
buffalobingywingy via Apple Podcasts · United States of America · 01/31/24
When a football podcast about two games starts out with “I didn’t watch the whole game but,” you know it isn’t a good podcast. I gave them the benefit of the doubt but when it became clear they haven’t even watched the majority of games from the teams playing for the CFP national championship, I...Read full review »

Enjoy your podcasts! But it was a little obvious that UM “knew” what plays Alabama was running in the first half and UA changed the signals in the second half.
jacKAY10118 via Apple Podcasts · United States of America · 01/02/24
Stew and Bruce are bonafide pros who don’t chase the hot topic of the week. I know some people hate on Stew, but these two keep it interesting without fuss and hype.
TheUSC1801 via Apple Podcasts · United States of America · 12/15/23
I like when Stew and Bruce quarrel like a cute couple. Will you guys just kiss already
rolltide239923 via Apple Podcasts · United States of America · 12/04/23
Really enjoy the podcast, have been listening for years. It’s apparent Bruce and Stew have well thought out opinions on current CFB topics instead of “hot takes”. Keep up the great work!
OC2739 via Apple Podcasts · United States of America · 11/16/23
Really enjoy Bruce’s insight but find Stew borderline unlistenable.
Jdeanm via Apple Podcasts · United States of America · 11/15/23
Over the last year or saw I have begun to notice how irritable and insufferable Bruce Feldman has become. He talks down to Stew, constantly cuts him off, dismisses his opinions and just comes across as a low energy arrogant jerk.
SevenHills10 via Apple Podcasts · United States of America · 11/09/23
Common sense college football talk with excellent insight. Bruce and Stewart are extremely knowledgeable and give great perspectives and I enjoy the back and forth.
Clvlanddr via Apple Podcasts · United States of America · 10/31/23
“Stew” bends over backwards for Pitt Coach, but trashes Harbaugh every chance he gets? I think a College Football leader who gives access gets a better spin than a Harbaugh type who is meh towards the media;
AUser857091 via Apple Podcasts · United States of America · 10/31/23
Have been a longtime listener but can’t do it any longer. Just don’t want to be a part of Mandel’s agenda. Look forward to whatever Bruce does next. And to be honest, my Athletic subscription is on the razors edge.
camogrady via Apple Podcasts · United States of America · 10/24/23
I’ve listened to every episode but his dancing on Michigan’s grave without any evidence of wrongdoing yet is bizarre for a person in his position I couldn’t bring myself to hear his voice again if you paid me.
rickyroscoe via Apple Podcasts · United States of America · 10/21/23
Like so many others, I've listened for Bruce and in spite of Stew for years now. But this week was the last straw. Stew as become so insufferable and unlikable I just can't do it anymore. Sorry Bruce. Hopefully you move on soon and start a different pod with anyone else besides this...Read full review »

Bruce is a really good at his job and it’s unfortunate they paired him with Stewart. Stewart doesn’t agree with anything Bruce says and is the most bland person to host a podcast. He’s a wannabe journalist hack.
Ebels10 via Apple Podcasts · United States of America · 10/20/23
What are y’all’s general thoughts on SMU? I thought they played OU well, but a couple big plays went OUs way so they pulled away. TCU was disappointing. But I personally think SMU can win out and play for a conference title.
Tsb22 via Apple Podcasts · United States of America · 10/05/23
Mailbag: Love your show. Question about the dynamics for the networks with the upcoming conference changes. Is the Long Horn Network going away? It must have strong financial value so it’s hard to believe they’d just shut it down. But it’s also hard to believe the SEC schools would just let Texas...Read full review »
Three Generations Yankees via Apple Podcasts · United States of America · 09/29/23
Nice vehicle for promoting Feldman’s FOX gig on the sidelines but very limited on actual knowledge of the game. Opinions are driven by self-promotion and reinforced by low-intellect, high-traffic inducing storylines manufactured explicitly for the echo chamber. Not saying it isn’t interesting to...Read full review »
Flyhalfbeatdown via Apple Podcasts · United States of America · 09/05/23
These two guys are very informative and obviously do their homework. They work pretty well together covering college football from a variety of angles but sometimes they sound like they’re getting on each other’s nerves lol. Maybe I’m hearing things idk. My only gripe is their shortsightedness...Read full review »

Tired hit piece on Rutgers Athletics sent me over the edge. This show is ok to good, but I’m done for now. I’d rather listen to pods that don’t outright insult my alma mater.
The West Family via Apple Podcasts · United States of America · 08/07/23
Love the show and all of the amazing information provided.
Double V the 2nd via Apple Podcasts · United States of America · 06/22/23
Topics are interesting but there is no chemistry between the two. Stu is sometimes uninformed and Bruce shows his lack of respect for that. Makes for some awkward moments.
PA4444 via Apple Podcasts · United States of America · 05/09/23
Really like both of these guys. I think perhaps splitting them up might be a good idea. I wouldn’t call either of them high energy. Someone to punch it up a bit would be enjoyable.

Stew and Bruce are knowledgable and entertaining without getting into the contrived arguments that have ruined so much sports talk. To me, and this will date me, they harken back to the Sports Reporters on ESPN, which I loved as a kid. If you want college football talk without yelling and...Read full review »

The Audible with Stew and Bruce is an excellent podcast for college football fans.

Unsubscribing because one of you idiots think James Franklin is the 5th best coach in college football

Stu and Bruce, I am a divorced 51 year old dude and regularly listen to the show while driving through out my day. This is a special shout out. Thanks Roman for explaining to my 14 year old daughter that 50% of men above the age get erectile dysfunction. This has never been a problem for me. ...Read full review »

I’ve been listening for several years and really enjoy the show. I’m wondering if schools with lesser NIL resources could Moneyball recruiting? Which positions have the most market inefficiencies generally (or specific to conferences)? For non-blue bloods it seems to me it makes more sense to...Read full review »

So smart to have a Sunday Show. I’m sure it’s tough, but true college fans are ready for discussion the day after the games are played.
TexDanR via Apple Podcasts · United States of America · 10/16/22
I’m pretty forgiving about the energy even though most shows sound like both hosts just woke up from naps, but if podcasting is an important enough part of their jobs that they commit time each week to do it then why does it sound like a recorded phone call. If you don’t care to iron that out why...Read full review »

Love the pod but all this time later one of the Athletic’s premier podcasts still sounds like two recorded phone connections?
JackBroChill17 via Apple Podcasts · United States of America · 09/19/22
The quality of the audio connection, especially on Stew’s end, has been very poor lately. It’s making listening to my favorite national CFB pod, kind of a chore.
JRs BBQ via Apple Podcasts · United States of America · 09/15/22
Wow. Didn’t even make it past the 10 minute mark. Nothing but tropes and cliches, all at a snail’s pace. Yikes, guys.
WindyCitySooner via Apple Podcasts · United States of America · 09/09/22
Stew and Bruce do such a great job. Always prepared, knowledgeable, and entertaining. As a college football fan on the West Coast, I’m not sure what to make of the new CFB landscape, but this podcast has helped me through it.
Pony Excess via Apple Podcasts · United States of America · 08/05/22
Bruce, It’s kind of startling to see what Mario Cristobal is doing on the recruiting trail. Since you’re familiar with Miami and Cristobal, can you be specific about what he’s doing that’s so unique that allows him to recruit like this. We hear all these terms like “relentless” “passionate about...Read full review »

If your CFB team now loses in state recruits Becz a nearby school pays more… it’s good for the recruit. But you should now not care at all about who the players are. For all you know they could be on another team next season. Bama and A&M and UGA are trying to buy your best players off both...Read full review »
