Sports talk for Philadelphia & beyond. Iconic sports personality Mike Missanelli is now on-demand with The Mike Missanelli Podcast. Join Mike for a new adventure in podcasting each week.
The Mike Missanelli Podcast is a welcome return for fans who have missed hearing Mike on the airwaves. After being absent for over a year since leaving the Fanatic, it's great to have his insightful and entertaining sports commentary back in podcast form. While it may not be the same as the four-hour daily show that fans were used to, it's still just as good - just condensed. Mike has a way of making Philly sports fans feel heard and seen, truly understanding their perspective.
One of the best aspects of this podcast is the great Philadelphia sports content and the impressive lineup of guests. Mike continues to bring his A-game when it comes to discussing all things Philly sports, and he brings in knowledgeable guests who add even more depth to the conversations. It's refreshing to hear the perspectives of athletes, journalists, and experts in various fields related to sports.
However, there is one issue that some listeners have pointed out - the volume of the audio vacillates during the podcast. This can be distracting and detract from an otherwise enjoyable listening experience. Hopefully, this is something that can be addressed in future episodes.
In conclusion, The Mike Missanelli Podcast is a must-listen for any Philly sports fan who has missed having Mike on their airwaves. His wit, intelligence, and willingness to ask tough questions make him an excellent interviewer and entertainer.
