The Splitting Hares by Jackrabbit Illustrated podcast is an absolute gem that I have recently discovered and now eagerly await its publication. As a devoted fan of SDSU Jackrabbit football, FCS football, and the Missouri Valley Football Conference, this podcast has become a must-listen for me. One of the things that sets this podcast apart is its live recording sessions, which allow fans like myself to actively participate in the conversation and feel connected to the hosts. The content provided on this podcast is top-notch, with in-depth reviews and analysis that goes beyond surface-level homer-based opinions. The variety of guests that are brought onto the show only adds to its richness and diversity.
The best aspect of The Splitting Hares podcast is undoubtedly the incredible insight provided by all four hosts. Matt, Kyle, Brendan, and Ben bring their unique perspectives and expertise to each episode, ensuring that listeners gain valuable knowledge about their favorite teams and players. Their passion for the sport shines through in every discussion, making it engaging and enjoyable for fans like myself. Furthermore, as an alumnus of SDSU myself, I appreciate the dedication they show towards their alma mater.
Unfortunately, there is one aspect of this podcast that could be improved upon. In a recent episode titled Bizon Illust Pod, there was some discussion on politics that was hard for me to digest. While I understand that podcasts can delve into various topics beyond sports, it did feel out of place in this context. However, I recognize that this may just be a personal preference and not something that bothers everyone.
In conclusion, The Splitting Hares by Jackrabbit Illustrated podcast is an exceptional listen for any fan of SDSU Jackrabbit football or FCS football in general. With insightful hosts who keep it real while providing deep-diving reviews and analysis, this podcast consistently delivers high-quality content week after week. Its live recording sessions create an interactive experience for fans and the variety of guests only adds to its appeal. Despite a minor hiccup in one episode, this podcast is doing things right and I hope it continues to grow and thrive. Keep up the good work, fellas!
