    Ivy Insights

    The MMA Road Show with John Morgan is a fantastic podcast for all fans of MMA and combat sports. Hosted by John Morgan and Cold Coffee (Kenny), this show offers a wealth of knowledge and passion for the sport, thanks to their years of experience covering it. One of the best aspects of this podcast is the hilarious discussions that take place, often fueled by their consumption of frosty beverages. The addition of guest hosts like Oscar from Mac Life and Simon from MMAJunkie/USAToday adds even more depth to the show.

    During these challenging times without live sports, The MMA Road Show has been a glimmer of hope for many listeners. It offers a much-needed escape from the quarantine blues with its entertaining content. Whether I'm pennybetting on Counter Strike or filling the void with NHL 17 simulations, listening to John and Cole talk about everything MMA makes me feel like I'm hanging out with friends. It has truly helped delay my spiral into insanity during this period.

    One potential downside to this podcast is the excessive drinking that takes place during episodes. While some listeners may enjoy this aspect, it can sometimes detract from the professionalism one might expect from journalists discussing the sport. This may be a draw for some people, but it's not everyone's cup of tea.

    In conclusion, The MMA Road Show with John Morgan is a highly recommended podcast for any fan of combat sports. With in-depth analysis, great interviews, and its unique blend of humor and content, it stands out among other MMA podcasts. While there are minor drawbacks such as excessive drinking at times, overall it provides an enjoyable listening experience. Keep up the great work!
