    Ivy Insights

    The Right Time with Bomani Jones is my absolute favorite podcast. I am an avid listener of various genres, but when it comes to sports, Mr. Jones truly stands out. He seamlessly blends in different genres with sports and his unique perspective keeps me hooked. I am ecstatic that the podcast is back and hope that it can eventually evolve into its own network.

    One of the best aspects of this podcast is Bomani Jones himself. He is not only incredibly knowledgeable about sports, but he also provides insightful analysis and commentary on a variety of topics. His blend of intelligence, humor, and wit makes for an engaging listening experience. Additionally, the guest lineup on the show is top-notch, providing diverse perspectives and adding further depth to the discussions.

    While there are many positive aspects to The Right Time with Bomani Jones, there are a couple of drawbacks worth mentioning. One issue is the occasional abrupt placement of ads during the episodes, sometimes even mid-sentence. This can disrupt the flow and diminishes the overall listening experience. Additionally, some listeners have expressed a desire for built-in ad breaks to avoid interrupting ongoing segments.

    In conclusion, The Right Time with Bomani Jones is an excellent sports podcast that offers a unique blend of analysis and entertainment. Bomani's expertise and commentary are highly valued by his listeners who appreciate his well-thought-out analysis and ability to provide context and humor in his discussions. Despite a few minor drawbacks like ad placements, this podcast remains a must-listen for anyone interested in sports and broader social commentary.

    On today's episode, Tyler "DragonflyJonez" of the Jenkins & Jonez Podcast joins Bomani Jones to discuss 'cool' NBA players and Jason Kidd potentially heading to New York. The show begins with the duo saying there is a 'death of cool' in the NBA right now (2:00) and why the 90's had players that would become your favorite even if they weren't superstars (17:34). After the break, Bo and Tyler agree it was time for the Knicks to move on from Tom Thibodeau (30:44) and that bringing in Jason Kidd would be a smart addition (40:12). They round out the show by saying how disappointing Lil Wayne's Tha Carter VI album is (46:01) but he still has the best 5 year run out of any rapper ever. (49:34) . . .
