Afternoons on 94WIP
The Jon Marks & Ike Reese podcast is a must-listen for sports fans in Philadelphia. As someone who has been listening to WIP since the 80s, I can confidently say that this show is one of the best additions to the station in decades. The chemistry between Jon and Ike is undeniable, and their dynamic as a duo makes for an enjoyable listening experience. Additionally, Jack Fritz does an excellent job as well, and his drop board is legendary.
The best aspect of this podcast is undoubtedly the chemistry between Jon Marks and Ike Reese. They play off each other's strengths and provide insightful analysis on various sports topics. Whether they are discussing the Eagles' performance or delving into the latest Phillies drama, their banter is engaging and keeps listeners hooked. Furthermore, Jon's producer's sense shines through as he expertly guides conversations with regular callers, ensuring that the show flows smoothly.
However, there are a few aspects of this podcast that could be improved upon. One frequent complaint among listeners is that the podcasts are often segmented into clips rather than full shows. This can be frustrating when trying to listen to the entire show without interruptions or breaks. It would be greatly appreciated if the team could make full broadcasts available on platforms like iTunes or provide an option for listeners to access uninterrupted episodes.
In conclusion, The Jon Marks & Ike Reese podcast is undeniably one of the best shows on radio today. Their chemistry, combined with their insightful analysis and entertaining banter, makes for an engaging listening experience. While there are some areas that could be improved upon, such as providing full broadcasts on iTunes, overall it remains a top-notch program that keeps fans entertained and informed about all things Philadelphia sports.
