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.

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.
