Great guests and I appreciate his dour sense of humor more now than in my younger days. This is definitely a podcast that has helped fill my void created by the struggles of Fan 960.
Also, it really highlights how the interviewer/host has the ability to make a lot of topics interesting. He covers a pretty wide range of stuff. Typically I didnt care for Baseball/Golf and other topics when they would come on the radio, but with him hosting it, it makes it a bit more interesting and doesnt usually lose my interest.

I still find McCown extremely irritating (never understood why he was so popular in the east) but at least he has John Shannon on there to mitigate things.
However, the podcast has some good guests - the episode from Aug 1 actually talks about the decline of sports radio. Toronto focused, but it's a fairly interesting listen, especially for someone like me who has fond memories of listening to Rome in the morning and then Joe Sports and Rob Kerr in the afternoons.
