The Zolak & Bertrand podcast is undoubtedly the best show on Boston radio. As a dedicated listener, I never miss an episode and even make it a point to listen to it later in the day if I happen to miss it. The entertainment value of this show is unmatched, and I truly appreciate the efforts of everyone who works on it.
One of the standout aspects of this podcast is the dynamic between Zolak and Bertrand. Their chemistry and banter make for a highly entertaining listening experience. Zolak's passion and knowledge about football, particularly the Patriots, adds depth to the discussions, while Bertrand brings common sense, humanity, and principle into play. Their complementary styles create a perfect balance that keeps listeners engaged from start to finish.
Furthermore, I must mention Hardy's exceptional contributions to the show. Adding "With Hardy" segments would only enhance its appeal. His insights and commentary provide valuable perspectives that enrich the overall content. Additionally, I appreciate how they address various topics beyond just sports, demonstrating their versatility as hosts.
However, there is one aspect of the podcast that can be improved upon - the volume levels during advertisements versus non-ad segments. The ads tend to be significantly louder than Zolak and Bertrand's voices, making it necessary to adjust the volume constantly while driving or listening remotely. Finding a way to equalize these volumes would greatly enhance the listening experience.
In conclusion, The Zolak & Bertrand podcast is an outstanding show that keeps me updated on New England sports in an enjoyable and informative manner. Despite not being a Patriots fan anymore since March 2020 (hmmmm), I still religiously tune in because of their compelling discussions and engaging personalities. The team's commitment to providing quality content deserves immense appreciation, making this podcast a must-listen for all sports enthusiasts in Boston and beyond.
