The wording of the story implied that Goff was willing to have a daypart so long as he could continue his successful(?) podcast on a medium the station is desperately trying to tap in order to stay afloat. That seems like a win-win for the Score, right?

After decades of Bernstein showing up 10 minutes before his shift started and Boers doing the show from his living room, NOW they decide to dig in and demand focus from on-air talent?

I'd love for just one of the reporters who laud Goff to actually investigate the viewership of his podcast. I think The Ringer gives him a salary, rather than the ratings based pay of most podcasts/youtubes. That is why Jason wants to grip that with both hands. They must feel he fills a void in their network coverage.

and I would never use the words "sharp as a tack" to describe Rahimi. She's never displayed a quick wit. She doesn't provide cutting edge analysis or even the type of insider information you would expect from someone who came up as a reporter.

What makes you think that?

Podcast ratings are exceedingly hard to come by. The Ringer has canceled shows before it's not an indefinite leash. But I suspect Goff is doing just enough to sell FanDuel ads

That said I agree Agrest doesn't know how Goff is doing either. He just assumes the undeniable talent (forgetting it's already been denied many places)

There should be a rule hosts can't monologue or talk with their co-host for more than 10 minutes without phone calls or a guest. Leila and Grote blah blah blah is brutal.

Accidentally tuned into the show for 5 minutes after I got off of work. Conversation topic = MET Gala fashion. Ugh.

Hi random producer person. yes i'm sure it was an accident you tuned in .

They're used to twitch where everyone tells them what a great job they are doing.

I hate to pile on but Leila spends so much time complaining and trying to be humorous while doing so really grates on me. I wish she didnt think discontent was, real or imagined, is entertaining.
Marshall may not be dynamic but he doesnt seem nearly as tightly wound.

i caught a few minutes just now and they were discussing which Mariah Carey song best symbolized the Cubs season so far .

She was all complaining about people not liking their noon segment and tried to explain what they were doing. If you have to explain you are loosing! Also don’t talk about Grote’s cat for ten minutes!!

Maybe she could say "the delta" a little more.

How many times does she say some version of "truths" in a show?

Getting kind of tired of people using "delta" when they really mean "difference." If you're just doing plain old subtraction, "difference" is fine.

I caught a few minutes yesterday of "Leila learns radio from Grote!!"

It's really bad.
