    Ivy Insights

    The Fighting Talk podcast is a must-listen for any sports fan. I have been tuning in since 2007 and it was one of the first podcasts I ever downloaded. As a football fan from the United States, I appreciate the banter and lively discussions about various sports topics that are covered on the show.

    One of the best aspects of The Fighting Talk podcast is the brilliant hosting by Colin Murray. He brings a level of energy and wit to the show that keeps listeners engaged and entertained. The range of guests on the show is also commendable, with a mix of athletes, journalists, and comedians adding their unique perspectives to the discussions. The podcast extra segment is also a great addition, providing additional content to enjoy.

    While there are many positives to this podcast, one potential downside is that it occasionally veers into irreverent humor that may not be everyone's cup of tea. Some listeners may prefer more serious analysis or find certain jokes to be off-putting. Additionally, as with any long-running show, there can be episodes or segments that are not as strong as others, depending on personal preferences for guests or topics.

    In conclusion, The Fighting Talk podcast is fantastic and has been consistently entertaining throughout its run. With Colin Murray at the helm and an excellent lineup of guests, it continues to be one of my favorite sports podcasts. Whether you're listening live or catching up on the podcast version, The Fighting Talk delivers funny banter and insightful discussions that make it stand out from other sports shows. Here's to many more years of great episodes!
