    Ivy Insights

    The Flank podcast is a must-listen for anyone who watches the Call of Duty League (CDL), regardless of whether they are new to the scene or have been fans for years. This podcast brings together an amazing combination of jokes and personalities that make for an incredibly enjoyable and entertaining experience. Asim's humor is particularly noteworthy and adds an extra layer of hilarity to the show. It's truly refreshing to see a podcast that caters to the daily craving of COD content, unlike others that are released infrequently and without any set schedule. The fact that The Flank uploads to platforms like Spotify and Apple on the same day as the show is a welcome change from podcasts that take months to do so. Zooma has done an excellent job in recognizing the community's need for this type of content, and with Ben by his side, they create a show that draws me in completely and keeps me well-informed about COD, even when I miss matches.

    One of the best aspects of The Flank is the chemistry between Zooma and Ben. Their dynamic resembles that of a news broadcast, making it engaging and captivating to listen to. Additionally, they bring on amazing guests who provide valuable insights into the world of COD, further elevating the quality of content presented on this podcast. The intel shared on The Flank is highly reliable, making it an excellent source for staying up-to-date with all things related to COD. Moreover, this show does a fantastic job at catering not only to longtime fans but also to newcomers who may be just discovering the pro scene.

    While The Flank has many strengths, one possible weakness lies in instances where Ben tends to talk over Zooma during discussions. Some listeners may find this distracting or off-putting, as it detracts from Zooma's valuable contributions. However, this can easily be improved upon by allowing each host their fair share of speaking time.

    In conclusion, The Flank podcast is a game-changer for the COD community. It offers top-tier content with the perfect blend of entertainment and information, making it an essential listen for any CDL fan. Zooma and Ben have created a show that brings together the community, and their dedication to uploading episodes promptly on streaming platforms demonstrates their commitment to providing the best possible experience for their audience. Whether you're new to the pro scene or a seasoned veteran, The Flank is a podcast that should not be missed.
