Question for MGoPodcast listeners

They're all huge f'ing nerds. I say this once a week. It's not a positive, but it's not a negative either. It just is. --That said, I prefer Ace as the witty banter/rapport he has with brian is more important than anything else, in my opinion. To each his own though.  

Brian shouldn’t be so mean to Seth. That is all. 

I think David and Ace are comparable in terms of the insight they bring to the table.  That being, they're both fine.  I don't really notice any drop-off in the quality of the shop talk.  Humor is more subjective, but in that category it's the Ace-Brian banter that's more often given me the guffaws.  So in a world. . . where my opinion counts for anything, Ace gets my vote.

I do worry if Ace is putting too much on his plate, too soon.  It's great to have him back but I'll take less Ace content if it's to avoid burnout down the road.

I have no issue with Ace on there or anyone else. Ace usually has a few more stats and details than Brian does, at least for home games. And I’m guessing it’s because Ace is at the house and not in the stadium. Also, I have realized how slow they talk. Most podcasts I listen to on 1.5x speed. I can comfortably listen to the MGOpodcast on 2x speed. 

David needs to keep that vocal fry in check.

I like the analysis. I find nearly all the banter annoying. These guys are really not funny. Even more obnoxious when they are trying to incorporate a sponsor into the banter.

Seth is the guy I really like to listen to but Brian has a bad habit of shooting him down and talking over him. 

I like it either way, having a different cast from time to time keeps it interesting.  My only complaint, if you could call it that, are that the podcast and the game column are basically the same content except on the podcast you get the Jamie Mac segment.

I like the podcast as it gives me something to listen to throughout the day. The problem is that it's the same info as Brian's Monday write up. So if I listen to the podcast, I'm not going to miss anything if I skip the column. 

For those who prefer Seth, the Friday podcast at the Bo Store is good. It's nice to have the preview to listen to Saturday mornings while getting stuff done around the house. 

I actually really enjoy the Brian/Ace/David trifecta. I know some people don’t care for their humor/banter, but I usually find myself cracking up a few times per podcast. If I were to change anything about the audio output of the blog, it would be more Craig Ross!

My vote would be the opposite. Ace is an mgoblog treasure.

David.. eh, he obviously watches the game and knows some football.

1. Who is David?

2. I would prefer if it was just BiSB doing it by himself, and taking calls.

The To be honest I think I’d like Ace and David. Brian has become pretty tough to listen to recently, and has been an outright jerk to Seth on several recent podcasts. It makes for a difficult listen. 

I’m a regular listener and I strongly, strongly disagree with the OP. I actually think the show is significantly better with Ace on it. I think his insights are more well-informed as a general rule, and his banter with Brian is better. 

Also, I must be in the minority, but I think Seth is often just wrong about the analysis, and I find myself agreeing with Brian when he corrects Seth. And, Seth seems to see things almost too much through the lens of someone who is surrounded by MSU folks in his day-to-day— he seems overly focused on MSU year round. 

I like all the guys but very glad to have Ace back. My favorite podcasts were some of the earliest with just Brian and Ace, but there's no need to neg David or Seth or anybody else - they all bring something to the table and I appreciate all of their contributions to the various pods. I do think keeping it to three people or less as co-hosts on a given show is a good idea. 

More discussions on how to cook eggs please.

And more Ace Pod (if you're feeling up to it Ace)

I have liked every iteration of every podcast, except for ones that talk exclusively about hockey or NBA because obviously.

Given what happened to the Ira thread, I don't know why we're doing this but hey, I also don't like thread bashing.

I agree that three’s a crowd and would default to Brian/Ace because I like their chemistry more. David seems to get a little bit of an attitude when Brian says something he doesn’t like and it takes away from the podcast imo. On another note, I think the segment with Jamie is really excellent and adds a lot to the podcast. The last segment of the shows are always a highlight for me. Also because a lot of shade tends to get thrown at certain B1G opponents each week during this time and it’s hilarious. 

Death, taxes, & Jamie talking over Brian as he tries to transition.

Brian is Olbermann, Ace Dan Patrick, Seth is Eisen and Dave is, I dunno, Trey Wingo

Brian and Ace are the classic lineup but it can't last forever

Live a couple thousand miles away so I am not as inundated with all things Michigan and Detroit sports as probably most on here are.  Have to work a little harder to get info.  I look forward to any new podcasts and this time of year it seems there are 3-4/week from MGoBlog, which is great.  The WTKA roundtable is one of my favorite segments every week.  I'm kinda starved for it and eat it up the moment anything is posted.  

That said - the MGoBoys need a sound/mic check.  Last week Ace had a podcast that was barely audible.  I know he's soft-spoken but..... my phone vol was turned all the way up and with earbuds in I could barely hear it.  Couple days later there was the BoStore? podcast and volume up 100% and could hear it but still had to strive to hear it at times.  

I like them all...but I don't like the ace pods with his weird smooth jazz ASMR voice. So off-putting.
