Listeners of Red Line Radio that love the show mention:The Red Line Radio podcast is a must-listen for Chicago sports fans. Despite the changes that have occurred over time, the show has maintained its appeal and continues to deliver entertaining content. The addition of Megan "Makin Money" to the show has been a challenge for some listeners, as they find her unfit for radio. However, overall, the show is enjoyable and provides great coverage of Chicago sports.
One of the best aspects of The Red Line Radio podcast is its coverage of all four major professional sports teams in Chicago. With each host specializing in a different team, it offers a well-rounded perspective on the city's sports scene. The banter between the hosts is also highly entertaining, even when they're not discussing Chicago sports specifically. Additionally, they consistently bring in great guests and provide insightful interviews.
On the other hand, one criticism of the podcast is its inconsistent release schedule. Listeners who incorporate podcasts into their morning routine or commute may find it frustrating that episodes are not consistently released at the same time every week. Another complaint revolves around the length of ad reads within episodes. Some feel that these ad reads are too long and detract from the overall listening experience.
In conclusion, despite its flaws, The Red Line Radio podcast remains a great option for Chicago sports fans. It offers a unique blend of perspectives on all four major professional teams in the city and provides entertaining banter between hosts. While some issues such as inconsistent release times and lengthy ad reads may be bothersome to some listeners, overall, this podcast delivers enjoyable content for those interested in Chicago sports.
