“I hear John’s daily show from time to time, but I always listened to the weekly mincing rascals podcast. Suddenly that icon seems to be discontinued, and instead there are 10,000 partial podcast of John’s show and pictures of him on my screen. Is there no way to isolate out The Mincing Rascals...”Read full review »

“WGN needs to bring back full show podcasts . The random snippets they post now are terrible . John has a good show in its full format . I’m unable to listen to the show live , so WGN has lost me as a listener .”

“I have listened to John ever since he joined WGN many years ago. I have always been so impressed with how he interviews people, and the way he is able to disagree, without offending people. He has a great sense of humor! And I look forward every week to his “Mincing Rascals”. King John rules!”

“Why not allow listeners to hear the whole show? You can still have the segments but allow people to hear all of it if they want. I miss enjoying the whole show when I can’t catch it during its time slot. If you are going to play foolish conspiracy theorists at night, at least let us hear your...”Read full review »

“I like the show broken up into segments because it’s a shorter time commitment as I already listen to a lot of hour long podcasts. And I’m sure Sam’s a nice guy but I don’t care about sports or betting. I say keep the format.

“I absolutely love the John Williams show however I am not able to listen to it and it’s schedule time many days. I used to rely on the full podcasts but now we only get the excerpts. Not adequate. It seems as if Wgn management is doing all they can drive their listeners away. Please make an...”Read full review »

“I totally agree with most of the feedback here that says that you don't get the full sense of the wit, intelligence and humanity of the John Williams show when presented in segments as it now is. LISTEN TO YOUR AUDIENCE! BRING BACK FULL SHOW PODCASTS FOR JOHN WILLIAMS AND ALL ON AIR TALENT.”Read full review »

“I like to listen to John Williams’ podcasts as I go about my day. They are gone with the exception of some pictures. If I was looking for pictures I would watch TV. Bring the podcasts back, preferably in full show form. Otherwise I will have to look somewhere other than WGN.”

“I’ve loved John Williams since he was a WGN newbie over 20 years ago. His friendly love of people radiates from his voice & makes me feel happy. He’s one of the best WGN radio hosts for interacting with calls & texts. Since his schedule got switched to mornings, I’ve been forced to listen...”Read full review »

“I rarely listen now. I miss the full episodes. Now I skim over and really just listen to jokes. Shameful you all cut out the meat of the show and all the characters involved each day. Snippets is not enough to draw me every day anymore. I found other podcasts. I do miss the full episodes! ...”Read full review »

“I don’t even mind playing ads at the beginning and throughout show. It just stinks to have cuts because we miss things discussed and have to try to piece it together.
I love to listen to WGN live, but not always able to do so when my favorite shows are on.”

“I echo many of the reviews—-bring back the full program on the podcast. There are many times I want to write down something that’s been mentioned but the podcast excerpts don’t include all the commentary. Is this a cost issue or simply misguided management?”

“I’ve listened to John for along time, I’ve always loved his show and mostly listened through podcast form. However, since the full episode hasn’t been posted I’ve been missing the show. Please bring the full show back. Even if you bring the commercials in just get the full episode back please....”Read full review »

“Please bring back the full episode option.
My 5 ⭐️ rating has gone down to 2 ⭐️ because it is so difficult to listen to segments. I haven’t been tuning in because of this. I cannot listen live because I have relocated to Phoenix, AZ.”

“Separate interviews is not great form for a podcast. Very frustrating.
Still love Mincing Rascals podcast but will be deleting this one. Sad. One of my favorites.
Dont understand the new setup.”

“While I usually enjoy listening, it irritates me when John is interviewing people on his show and interrupts and or talks over the person. Some advice to his highness... Relax! Let people answer before you speak.”
