Poor sound quality

Terrible sound quality as you can barely hear them. Not sure if it’s their microphones or the sound mixer. The show itself is interesting; at least when I can hear it😁

A terrific podcast that keeps getting better

I’ve been enjoying this podcast all year, and I can’t believe that my favorite episode is the most recent one — after the season ended! The discussion of a future Celtics ownership change was in-depth and wise without being boring. Smart guys talking about a team they love as much as I do.

The best

Big Cam rocks and this pod is addicting. Great insight and basketball knowledge, must listen for any Celtics fan

Low talker

I tried to listen to this podcast and found myself raising and lowering the volume constantly because one guy talks at a good volume while the other guy talked way too softly. And to make matters worse, the low talker talked way too fast and trailed off at the ends of sentences. I could barely understand him, even when I raised the volume. Then the guy who spoke at a reasonable volume would talk and I would have to quickly lower the volume. The quality of the podcast was so annoying it detracted from the content. Please learn how to articulate and modulate when you do a podcast.

A fun informative podcast!

I started listening to this podcast recently and I’ve been impressed with its panels expertise and insights. They bring such a unique perspective to each episode, and I appreciate how informative they are, using their analysis to back up their opinions. The rapport between the panelist is great, and they always find engaging topics to discuss. I’m excited for new episodes and highly recommend this podcast to sports/Celtics fans! I appreciate the gentle way in which they handle the players on our team who aren’t performing at their best. It’s a refreshing change!

Great podcast!

I don’t even use the Apple Podcast app, but this Celtics podcast is so great that I downloaded the app to rate it! Also, just out here saying Jayson Tatum is a QT ;) !

Great Celtics analysis - enjoy listening

Preachy

Really didn't need to be preached to from the pulpit of Woke Supremacy. They advocate suppression of any opinions they can't grasp and that contain a molecule of common sense. The hypocrisy was rich.

Good Celtics Pod

These guys have a clear love for the Celtics & knowledge for the game of basketball.

Sound Quality

Smart guys but (literally) unbearable sound quality.
