However, one downside of this podcast is that it may not appeal to listeners outside of Ohio or those who are not avid sports fans. While the hosts do a fantastic job discussing Ohio sports, it may not resonate as much with individuals from different areas or those who are more interested in other topics. Additionally, some listeners may find the energetic and off-the-rails nature of Bobby and Schlegs overwhelming at times.
In conclusion, The Morning Juice podcast is a top-notch show that caters to Ohioans and sports enthusiasts alike.
