The hosts, Mike and Mark, provide a balanced evaluation of the team and offer insightful analysis with a touch of humor and snark. As a long-time Broncos fan living in Duluth, MN, I appreciate being able to stay connected to my favorite team through this podcast.

    One of the best aspects of this podcast is the expertise and experience that both Mike and Mark bring to the table. Mike's background as a sports reporter combined with Mark's in-depth knowledge of the game and players make for an invaluable source of information. They are top-notch when it comes to reporting on everything Broncos-related.

The hosts' chemistry is evident, creating plenty of laugh-out-loud moments. Whether it's their hilarious banter or their interviews with notable figures in the sports industry, there's never a dull moment on this podcast.

    While there aren't many negative aspects to highlight, some listeners have mentioned that the consistency of when episodes are posted has dropped a bit since their previous producer left. However, this minor inconvenience does not detract from the overall quality and enjoyment of the show.

    In conclusion, The Schlereth and Evans podcast is undoubtedly one of the best sources for Broncos news and analysis out there.
