Hear Query & Schultz weekdays from 3-7pm on Fox Sports 97.5 / 1260 AM for a different take on sports in Indianapolis!
The Query & Schultz Podcast is a fantastic source of sports news and entertainment, particularly for fans from Indiana. Derek and the other guys do an excellent job of staying up to date with all things Indy sports, making it a must-listen for anyone looking to stay in the loop. As someone who grew up in Indiana but has since moved away, I really appreciate the effort they put into keeping me connected to my hometown.
One of the best aspects of this podcast is the chemistry between Derek and Jake. They have been working together for years, and it shows in their seamless back-and-forth banter. They effortlessly mix insightful sports analysis with humor, making each episode both informative and entertaining. It's clear that they genuinely enjoy discussing local and national sports, which adds a level of authenticity to their conversations.
Another great aspect of this podcast is its versatility. While primarily focused on sports, Derek and Jake also delve into other topics relevant to their listeners in Indianapolis. They often highlight local charities or events happening in the city that might otherwise go unnoticed. This gives the show a well-rounded feel and makes it more than just a typical sports podcast.
If I had to point out a downside to the podcast, it would be that sometimes the humor can take away from serious discussions. While their jokes are usually enjoyable, there are moments when I wish they would dive deeper into certain topics instead of relying on comedic relief. However, this is a minor issue that doesn't detract too much from the overall quality of the show.
In conclusion, The Query & Schultz Podcast is an outstanding choice for anyone looking for an engaging and informative sports podcast with a local touch. Derek and Jake's chemistry shines through as they tackle various subjects with intelligence and humor. Despite being miles away from Indiana now, I still find myself tuning in regularly thanks to their ability to keep me connected to my roots while providing top-notch content.
