Local columnists and hoops insiders Jason Smith and John Martin appear daily 11am - 2pm on 929FM ESPN/680AM!
The Jason & John podcast is an absolute gem for sports enthusiasts, particularly those interested in the Memphis Tigers and Tiger recruiting. The chemistry between Jason and John is undeniable, and their banter is incredibly funny. They keep the show engaging with plenty of Tiger talk, which is a treat for fans. As someone who travels frequently, this podcast has become a staple during long drives, making my travel much more comfortable. Even when I'm in different cities, I feel like I still have a piece of Memphis with me thanks to this show. My only complaint is that there aren't episodes uploaded every day because I simply can't get enough of it.
The best aspect of The Jason & John podcast is the great chemistry between the hosts, Jason and John. Their dynamic is seamless, and they easily bounce off each other's humor and perspectives. This makes for an incredibly entertaining listening experience that keeps you engaged throughout their discussions about sports and other topics. Additionally, as mentioned before, their focus on Memphis Tiger basketball recruitment news sets them apart from other sports podcasts. They provide valuable insights into the team's developments and keep fans updated with all the latest information.
However, one downside to this podcast is that it may not cater to everyone's interests if they are not avid fans of the Memphis Tigers or Tiger recruiting. While some listeners may love this aspect and appreciate the deep dive into these topics, others who prefer a broader range of sports coverage may find themselves wanting more variety in content. It would be beneficial for the hosts to incorporate discussions on other teams or sports to appeal to a wider audience.
In conclusion, The Jason & John podcast is an exceptional show worth listening to for its fantastic chemistry between the hosts and its extensive coverage of Memphis Tigers basketball recruitment news. The banter between Jason and John keeps listeners entertained while also providing valuable insights into the team's developments. Although it may benefit from incorporating discussions on other sports or teams for greater appeal, this podcast is still a must-listen for Memphis sports enthusiasts.
