Man the first 10 episodes of this podcast were so so good. Short interesting stories, I was this podcasts biggest fan. I told everyone about it. Now I see new episodes come out and I am immediately disappointed. These long winded stories don’t follow the original spirit of the 30 for 30. They are boring, and pretty far from eapn sports in general. Get back to the basics! Stop with this boring format.
Excellent

I just finished the 3-part Hobey Baker series. Well-written and produced, and a story I’d not previously heard. Looking forward to diving into more episodes.

I see that what was once a great series has turned woke. Racism, lesbianism, and hating white men has nothing to do with good sports journalism. Figures this is coming from Disney. Just like Disney’s movie division and ESPN, now 30 for 30 is off my watch list. Great job guys!
