The Topic: Thunder Podcast is an unprofessional and inconsistent podcast that is filled with numerous ums, yeahs, and likes. Additionally, there are too many ads throughout the episodes, which can become quite annoying. Despite these flaws, I have to admit that I totally love this podcast.
One of the best aspects of The Topic: Thunder Podcast is the dedication and hard work that the hosts put into producing great content for their listeners. It's evident that they truly enjoy what they do and strive to provide entertaining and informative episodes. The variety of perspectives and personalities brought on as guests adds depth to the discussions, making it a well-rounded listening experience. Furthermore, the hosts have a solid knowledge of basketball and provide interesting insights that keep me engaged throughout each episode.
On the downside, The Topic: Thunder Podcast has an inconsistent upload schedule, which can be frustrating as a listener. It would be helpful if they could establish a regular release pattern so that fans know when to expect new episodes. Additionally, the excessive use of filler words such as ums, yeahs, and likes can be distracting at times and detract from the overall professionalism of the podcast. Finally, there are too many ads incorporated into each episode, which interrupts the flow of conversation.
In conclusion, despite its unprofessionalism and inconsistent upload schedule, The Topic: Thunder Podcast is a podcast that I thoroughly enjoy. The hosts' dedication to providing great content shines through in each episode, and their basketball knowledge is impressive. While there are areas for improvement such as reducing filler words and streamlining ad placements, overall it's a podcast worth checking out for any fan of the Oklahoma City Thunder or NBA in general.
