The Knight Report Podcast is, without a doubt, my favorite podcast. As a sports fan, I appreciate the in-depth review of various sports teams that this show provides. What sets it apart from other podcasts is the fun and casual approach taken by the hosts, Matt and Rob. It feels like I'm listening to a group of friends talking about sports, rather than some uptight formal analysis. This laid-back atmosphere makes it enjoyable to listen to and keeps me coming back for more. I highly recommend this podcast to any sports enthusiast.

Whether it's discussing the performance of Rutgers teams or providing timely insights into breaking news, they consistently deliver great content. I appreciate their realistic thoughts and views, which keep me engaged throughout each episode.
On the downside, if you were expecting a podcast solely focused on medieval knights due to its logo and name, prepare for disappointment. The podcast is actually about sports, specifically Rutgers athletics.
