Former Zags basketball star Robert Sacre and journalist Jack Ferris go in depth on the latest in the Gonzaga Basketball season.
The Bleav in the Zags podcast is a must-listen for any Gonzaga Bulldogs fan. As someone who has been a fan since the 80s, I appreciate the insight and stories provided by Rob Sacre, a former player. It's great to hear his perspective from someone who has actually been on the court. The podcast provides super good information, is highly entertaining, and is also incredibly funny. It's like a trifecta of podcast technology.
One of the best aspects of this podcast is the chemistry between Rob and Jack. Their banter and witty exchanges make for an enjoyable listening experience. You can tell they genuinely love Gonzaga basketball and their enthusiasm is contagious. The old Gonzaga stories are a personal favorite for me as they provide insight into the program's history.
Another great aspect of this podcast is the insider knowledge shared by both Rob and Jack. Rob brings his experience as a former GU player while Jack offers his perspective as a former GU student. Their analysis of games and players is informative and adds depth to one's understanding of Gonzaga hoops.
However, one aspect that could be improved upon is the sound quality during episodes. While Jack sounds clear, Rob's audio quality sometimes feels lacking in comparison, making it feel like he's more of a guest than a co-host. Investing in better microphones for both hosts would greatly enhance the listening experience.
In conclusion, The Bleav in the Zags podcast is an absolute treat for fans of Gonzaga basketball. With insights from a former player and entertaining banter between hosts Rob Sacre and Jack Ferris, it offers an engaging listening experience that will leave you laughing and craving more Zags content. Despite minor audio issues with Rob's mic, this podcast stands out as one of the best Gonzaga hoops podcasts available. So give it a follow, sit back, and enjoy all that The Bleav in the Zags podcast has to offer. Go Zags!
