    Might as well rename the show “The Browns Is The Browns”
    Unsubscribing because the host is an unending stream of negativity. Being realistic about the state of the team is one thing, but this podcast has such a cynical tone that you’d think the host was hired by the Steelers.

    Good content but bad audio quality
    Good commentary but can’t you invest in decent audio equipment.

    Keep Them Coming
    The Athletic is already my only news source for sports. So happy to have a Browns-specific podcast. Please keep them coming frequently!

    Hard
    I say this as a fan of the content too: the intro music has no business going this hard!!!!!

    Best post game Browns podcast out
    My favorite Monday morning podcast to listen to after a Browns Sunday. Thank you, Zac.

    Can’t stomach the constant negativity
    Zach is obviously bitter after watching bad football as we all are but I don’t want to hear about it on a podcast. It’s a new season, give me an angle in which I can be optimistic about the team. This podcast host puts a spin on things along the lines of Tony Grossi. Not what I want to listen to.

    Too many/long ads
    Good content but not good enough to listen to long and frequent ads. I get the need to make money, but renders the cast unlistenable.
  • Doggsq
    Decent but all negative
    Not a bad podcast but is just a guy or two just being overly negative about everything and then saying but we will see and also having a false sense of knowing everything about everything, thinking they could do better. Tried for the whole season and just was angry and annoyed by the end of every episode. Don’t want to be entertained with negativity. There is a way to cover a team and the bad without just being overly negative 95% of the time. Not looking for fake positivity either but a balance of the good and the bad and this isn’t the show. Have to move on in looking for my browns content.

    Great Podcast but…..
    Great content and analysis. Zac, PLEASE STOP SAYING “RIGHT??” so often. It’s rhetorical but unnecessary.
  • Michael Muccaroni
    Wow…
    My favorite Browns podcast… but starting the show off with a pro-abortion advertisement makes me want to puke.

    Less solo pods
    The post game edition of the podcast with Zac and Jason is probably the podcast I look forward to the most out of everything in my library. It serves as a follow up to my celebration after a win or therapy after a loss. The only thing I don’t like are the solo podcasts. Each mid-week podcast should be a crossover with the opponent’s beat writer. If that’s not available, Jason should be a part of these because one person talking for 30 straight minutes is not ideal for the listener (or Zac, himself).

    What a quarter back is supposed to look like???
    Imagine if Baker had 9 ints in just 8 games this yr like Burrow.
  • Misterclevelandbrowner
    Jason Lloyd
    If I was subscribed to the Athletic for browns coverage I would simply keep my money. Jason Lloyd has become Toby Grossi. Negative yet uncritical. He embodies a local fan base of reactionary losers who enjoy neither winning nor losing but instead only being miserable. Zac Jackson is a solid beat writer, but this much thoughtless negativity is mind blowing. It’s hard enough remaining a fan of this team, let alone this podcast.
  • Lawandsports
    Informative and entertaining
    Zac always has great info, realistic takes, and is hilarious. He’s the best Browns podcaster by a mile.
  • SCHEEBZ
    Poorly produced
    Hard to fathom how you have a professionally produced podcast where the two speakers are heard at entirely different volumes. Can barely hear Zac.
  • Mike Yakubics
    Best Browns pod
    Zac is the best, and not a homer, tells it like it is. This is my favorite browns podcast
  • jcarc33
    Podcast
    Zac- you do a great job you should consider more podcast.

    Kaboly ate all your other stars
    Pass the gravy.
  • Joe, Cleveland
    🙌🏼
    Zac is sensational he carries the athletic (sorry Jason)
  • Breck Denny
    Great content but bad mic skills
    Love the browns analysis but get a better recording rig. Sounds like you guys aren’t using a pop filter or something, it’s like you’re talking in a mic wrapped in a condom.
  • Andy in Atlanta
    Go Browns!!!
    Zac is a cynical bastard, but I can’t quit him!!!! I see my fan self in Jason😀 Thanks guys👍
  • suittch
    Fantastic content
    These guys know what they’re talking about. Smart, honest discussions every podcast.
  • e-dawg20395
    Great content
    I love this podcast, these guys have some really great insight. My only complaint is that there always seems to be one voice that could really use a little extra volume, but otherwise no complaints.
  • Dingflopper
    Good listen
    I enjoy Jackson, Lloyd and Reed and have always been a fan of their work. Please don’t have Pat McManamon on. His stuff is rinse and repeat of Browns coverage

    Background Noise Issue
    Okay, so I’m new to this podcast, but the postmortem of last Sunday’s on field debacle was pretty much replicated in the studio. Wildly distracting noises and side conversations were occurring. Were they not able to hear it? I certainly could. Please clean up your production process!
  • Spencer NYC
    Already one of my favorite pods
    All I needed was to listen to the first episode to know this will be one of my favorite Browns podcasts going forward. Jackson, Lloyd, and Reed are all excellent journalist and exceptional writer. Turns out they're pretty good talkers too.

    A+ Content
    Don’t even need to listen before leaving this review. Zac is a huge reason i subscribe to The Athletic

    Here to bark and party
    Lifelong fan of the Brown team. Lover of Pods. Never going to forgive Chansi Stuckey for blowing it against the Jets in 2010. Let’s dig up some skeletons so we know who the new kids are.
