Customer Reviews
Rachel Nichols
It is crazy that at the start of every game, Rachel Nichols flashes the white power symbol with her left hand, for a long time during her monologue. You can go back and check. She did it from the preseason on. She obviously does not Want to be around “those” people. It devastated my children and I when we saw it. It is awful to do to the young, full of hopes and dreams.
It is clear she wants to do something else. Let her do that something else away from our sons and daughters.
Need a new host
Jim and Lori are great…I hate to be harsh, because I am sure JR is a nice guy, but he isnt cut out to host a Bucks podcast, way too much nervous energy and no conciseness with his questions. If he can reign it in or this podcast can find a stronger host it could be great
Release more!
You guys are pretty good, but to compete in today's podcast world, your episodes either need to be much longer and more in depth or way more frequent.
For instance, I was pretty disappointed in your lack of podcasts during the impressive post season run, and now only ONE on the Bucks winning it all. I’m old enough to remember years of one-and-done post season appearances, you guys should be jumping at the chance to have this platform during what are the Prime Giannis Bucks years. The less you put out, the more people who would listen to you will listen to other Bucks podcasts.
