I think we’re up to something like three or four producers at the Score now who have started their own podcasts. Zpack has that soccer one and then I saw on Twitter the other day the guy Goff says is racist all the time (Shane Reardan) has one with a guy from the Bachelor. Both are kind of entertaining and both of them I’d rather hear than the majority of guys on the station. Think these kids are starting to see there’s no growth for them there. The kid who does Hit and Run with whiny JoeO is doing one on basketball too. Elis.

Podcast for a narrow interest like soccer when you live in the states makes perfect sense. There are a few podcasts that I’ve subscribed to for niche interests.

This a great point. What is better- being the 500th NFL podcast or the 10th soccer podcast albeit to a much smaller audience. It appears that the Lance Armstrong cycling podcast is a tremendous success. Granted, it is an outstanding podcast and Armstrong is great on it. To my knowledge there are no other popular, American cycling podcasts.

There are days I spend 16 hours in a vehicle of some sort. Podcasts can be nice.

As for Ostrowski, I know he did a podcast with Sam Panayotovich from WGN. I get the sense Joe probably hates Julie since Sam is pretty open about his own hatred of Julie. In fact I think he is the reason Julie got blocked from the WGN Sports twitter feed. They even had Barstool Big Cat on as a guest a few times.

He liked a few of my tweets congratulating him for taking Julie's full time spot(until Abbatacola fucked that up).

What happened with Panayotovich and The Red Menace?

They used to work together when she was at The Game and he was at WGN. Maybe a run in there? But then again, you don’t really have to have a personal interaction with her to have hate haha.

Panayotovich was part of a college football pregame show on The Game that was really good. I think Howard Griffith and Gerry DiNardo were part of it, too. It's been a few years and my memory might be off...

I just joined a great speed walking podcast.

But really, do you need this much of something? I guess why I turn on sports talk radio is to hear if there is something I missed. It is somewhat diverse in the topics being covered, even if I do not like them. I tried listening to Blackhawk podcasts, and it was just too much hockey for me. I think for me, during the trade deadline, and maybe the playoff push and playoffs is when I am actually interested in a limited basis.

Fuck your sarcasm. Seriously though, it depends who is doing the podcast and what the topic is. There are some podcasts that I will listen to based entirely on the specific topic. For example, I will listen to some entry draft hockey podcasts in the summer from sources that I don't regularly listen to since I want that specific information. On the other hand, I listen to the Committed Indian podcasts regardless of the time of year since I find them funny and entertaining plus they are talking about the Hawks.

So in other words, I need the podcast to either be entertaining based on the personality of the hosts or it needs to be about a specific topic that I want to hear about. I have listened to a few of the other Hawks podcasts and they haven't done enough for me to be a weekly listen. Zawaski's has too many commercials and another one talked 20 minutes about buying shitty jerseys out the outlet mall. They are low on my rotation and most weeks I don't get to them.

Probably makes more sense.

When you can pound out a 5 hour hard core history in one sitting and think about putting on part two you know its been a damn long day.

A lot of the stuff he does I kind of already know for the most part. I'm not sure I learned much in the Celtic Genocide one for example as I had done a Classical history class back in the day. It probably filled in a little bit here and there but it seemed to be more of a refreshing of my memory thing. I was a history nerd at one time but have let it fall out of the front of my mind as more pressing things have taken its place, like where the hell I put my keys.

I might have to find that. I actually enjoy his presentation a lot, tangents and odd analogies included. I know some find it tedious but whatever.
