“The Blizzard is unquestionably some of the finest — if not THE finest — writing about football available today. The care and craft that goes into each issue is extraordinary, and now to have these articles available in podcast format is truly a wonderful gift. Both the selection of readings and the readings themselves have been outstanding. Speaking personally, I turn to podcasts for the same reason I suspect so many of us do — not enough time to read and more opportunities to listen. Being able to (re)discover some of these pieces from the magazine has been a genuine joy.
That said, I have to give the podcast only two stars instead of the five I’d rather. the production quality of the podcast in the last year has plummeted. Audio quality is abysmal, the gain far too low and the voices in the new recordings too soft, the readings too impatient. The addition of the tiresome, repetitious “theme” is unnecessary and annoying.
I have held off on this review in the hopes that the audio issues would be resolved. They have not. It is a shame that such a terrific and rare piece of football journalism in podcast form suffers from such easily resolved technical issues.”
