As someone who listens to a lot of podcasts, I can confidently say that this show is hands down the greatest OU podcast out there. The hosts, Kamiar and Jack, along with Allen Kenney, are not only funny and affable, but they also keep me informed on all the goings-on of my beloved Sooners. This podcast has been a saving grace for me during rough workdays, as it provides entertainment and in-depth analysis of everything Sooner football.
One of the best aspects of The Crimson & Cream Machine podcast is the friendly and fun tone that the hosts bring to each episode. They have a great rapport with each other and their chemistry shines through in every conversation. Not only are they entertaining to listen to, but they also offer insightful depth of knowledge on all things Sooner Sports. Whether it's breaking down previous games, discussing upcoming matchups, or providing in-depth looks beyond what you'll read in national press, these hosts have it covered. Their focus on the Sooners allows them to delve into topics like practice, recruiting, coaching, administration, and fans.
Last off-season, one of my favorite features of this podcast was their previews of other Big 12 teams like K State and Iowa State. I would love to hear more about what's going on in the rest of the conference in future preseason episodes. It would be interesting to hear their thoughts on teams like Baylor under Matt Rhule or how Tom Herman will navigate another season without getting fired. Additionally, diving into each team's recruiting efforts and how it fulfills their needs or leaves holes for the future would be fascinating.
In conclusion, The Crimson & Cream Machine: For Oklahoma Sooners fans podcast is an exceptional show that brings fresh content online regularly year-round.
