Its not just the lack of coverage but the quality. Hugh is basically the go to guy for everyone. He sucks ass not because he can't convey shit and doesn't talk about shit that actually matters.
Salk is an east coast guy with a pro sports superiority complex. We touched on 710s UW coverage in the last cast. Its a total abomination. Salk actually thinks UW fans should be more myopic like Mariners fans. He also said a few years ago that UWs expectations were too high and couldn't be a great program anymore. Fuck that guy.
Fans take cues from these clowns. Some here say Softy,Kim,Dawgman, etc don't matter but they do. They have a huge audience and play a role and help to shape local opinion of UW.
Since summer we've been averaging 450 listeners per podcast with it topping out over 550 a few times. We have a good audience because fans are starved for entertaining and informed husky talk that they don't care that its 3 clowns with boners in their sweatpants with low production value. And we've had a tiny role in shaping opinions. Not every listener who started with us was a huge anti-Sark guy but they eventually came around because we provided them with better info and analysis that led them to making their own judgements. When we professionalize our cast, are able to have some legitimate guests and UW takes the next step I'm sure we can have well over 1000 listeners per podcast.

When Matt Rogers, Kyle Benn and I had our podcast, we topped out at 5,500 downloads per show, and as I've said before, I did a mediocre job as host. Partially because my heart wasn't in it due to my belief Sark would be here for 20 years and the program was doomed.
Your Husky Fan Podcast is superior to the one we did IMO, and I do believe you can go to 1,000 listeners and beyond that even.
the fuck is a podcast? I don't listen to sports radio, and I don't podcast. I prefer not having to be told what to think. I used to like listening to mitch, but when sandy got fired, I quit listening. Fain is horrific and uninformed, I tried brock and salk..... un-listenable inho.

Derek I really think you should start that podcast again. Its great exposure for the site and gives the fans an invaluable perspective (former players). Having former players with you legitimizes the site quite a bit. People will listen to hear the players so you really don't need to worry about being a great host. Plus it broadens the content base.

Salk can be smug sometimes but sometimes he is okay. He is a huge fluffer of Wilson and thinks he can do no wrong. Brock laughs way too hard at everything which makes for really shitty radio. When Brock actually talks football he does okay.
Someone said Mitch and morons didn't know what conference TCU was in. Even though they moved recently that's inexcusable for a sports radio host. If it were UTEP or Tulsa or Memphis it's forgivable, but not a top five XII team.
Salk for 7 weeks said he his is not worried about the Hawks but now he is worried about the hawks....it just shows you his stupid talk radio is.
He just makes shit up for conversation. Though i guess when the hawks are 14 hours of conversation you have to just say fake crap most of the time.
That's my major problem with 90% of commercial sports talk and why I listen to podcasts (mainly yours) or my ihateradio hair band station. You can't always tell, but you know it's going on. Often.
