Best state podcast!?
- Thread starter Motodawg
- Start date
I need to check it out. Our local sports shows are pretty weak. It amazes me that some of them can maintain a spot on local radio. Basically a long commercial with a few minutes of sports talk. Matt is the only one I like most of the time.
Thunder and lightning
- great up to date info
- really enjoy when they have the opposing team beat writer on
- could do without the wrasseling talk
The boneyard
- best for recruiting etc
- don’t care about top ten list etc..
out of left field
- very easy to listen
- good info
in no particular order. All have positive and negatives

I prefer Out of Left Field, but I do listen to Thunder and Lighting regularly.
I like it. Who exactly is the other guy on with Fitz?
Since you pay for Matt's show is it ad free? I really enjoy Boneyard but wished the advertisements would rotate. If I was doing a mortgage or looking for a house in Starkville, Portico right off campus and Blair top 1% in a magazine rating would be the last places I used just from complete Chernobyl-style burnout.
Thunder and Lightning is the best. I sometimes listen to the BoneYard but I hate listening to a drive by drive recap of a game I just watched. Especially if we lose.
Really enjoy Out of Left Field, wish it could be more days per week.
T&L is usually very good, this morning i think there was 6 or 7 minutes of ads and BS before any football talk....
Miss "More Cowbell " from Brandon Walker but like Unnecessary Roughness even though its not MSU.
I like Steve Robertson but his podcast can be hard to get into/stay into.

Honestly, pretty much all of them have qualities that I don’t care for, but most of them bring at least something to the table that most of our fans typically like.
T&L was my answer for years but I feel like Brian and Robbie are too similar for my tastes. They tend to double down on the emotional takes and that’s just not my thing. Say what you want about Bob or Joel but I felt like it was a more balanced perspective on things. You kinda got devil on your shoulder/angel on your shoulder vibe (sorry for calling you the devil, Hadad).
Bart and Charlie (Out of Left Field) tend to have the best info if you’re really into stats, but can feel a little preachy sometimes. I have similar complaints with Matt, knows his stuff but definitely can be preachy.

Out of Left Field: The most professional and best flowing conversation but you only get a couple episodes per week.
Thunder & Lightening: Really good daily updates & talking points. Thought it was best with Brian & Joel. The wrestling talk is cringy.
The Has Been & The Never Was Show: Probably the funniest of the bunch. Good to get insight from a former player.
The Boneyard: I've had to quit listening to this one. Too damned long for such little info. It'll go off the rails with ad reads or life advice. Next thing you know it's been 10 minutes without a single mention of MSU sports. Not to mention the middle of the show is just completely dedicated to some Top 10 list of a crappy 80s rock. Just start a separate music podcast for that junk.

Boneyard is only a detailed game recap on Mondays during football season but I agree...like it after a win, sucks to hear again after a loss. He also does a Wednesday and Friday and I enjoy the top 10 list when I'm familiar with the bands/music.
Would someone mind doing a quick rundown of who does each one? Like what are their day jobs/background. I've listened to all of these but Out of Left Field and like them all but don't feel like I know who I'm listening to. 
...I know who Steve and Nick are but none of the others.

I like Steve, but I prefer podcasts with multiple people rather than someone going solo.
I listen to pretty much every T&L episode other than the rumblings. You have to FF the first five minutes of it. Worst part about the show is all of the food and wrestling talk. I agree with almost all of Brian’s takes though. It’s kind of dorky have family-friendly the podcast is though, makes you cringe a bit.

Just a heads up, Matt’s show is free. It’s on our HailState+ Podcast Network on Apple Podcasts and Spotify. My show with Logan Lowery (Dear Ol’ State) and a weekly soccer show comes to the same feed as well. Be glad for you to listen to us too if you can bear it, but Matt’s show is there and won’t cost you a penny.

Cochise Cowboy : Good list taker and great poster
We are in negotiations with Dale’s for sponsorship. The ad reads are going to be the best part.
Boneyard was my hands-down favorite for a while, but is down the list a bit. I cant listen to Mondays anymore, unless its a big win. How hie can talk for 2 minutes about the opening kickoff going for a touchback, and a Dillon Johnson 2 yd run blows me away.
Out of Left Field is my favorite. But....I listen to all of them and cant get my hands on enough MS State sports talk! I really appreciate what all of them do!

I always skip the Wednesday T&L show. Perhaps it would be better if people wouldn't ask stupid questions for laughs all the time.
I always skip the top 10. I wish he would at least move it to the end of the show so that people who don't care can just stop listening. I also wish he would shorten the ads. 2 minutes on Bulldog Burger Co. is a bit extreme.
I really enjoy T&L but agree Wednesday is tough with the stupid questions. And the opening sound effect literally comes as close as possible to blowing my speakers. It’s so much louder than the rest of the podcast. That’s my only real complaint.
Listened to Has Been and Never Was for the first time this morning. Really enjoyed Fitz take on getting told to go 17 yourself from 100k people. I hate people act like that. It is just football after all

The latest one talking about the KY game was entertaining during commute yesterday. Fitz started the show sad, eventually went on a rant about what if you were working in your cubicle and saved a file in the wrong folder and had everyone blasting you about it (comparing blasting/tweeting players individually for an on field mistake), then ended pumping sunshine.
I guess my favorite is Bart & Charlie's but I don't listen much to any of them. Because of Amazon Music, Sirius Radio and ad free subscription streaming services on tv I get bent out of shape and want to change the station when an ad runs on free tv or radio so its hard for me to watch or listen to either much anymore. I also don't like useless banter ("witty and animated joking") which seems to take up a lot of time on the co-hosted shows. And don't get me started on "Rasslin", if I wanted to hear that I'd tune into a rasslin podcast
If you don't have at least one guest poster on every week, you're doing it wrong.
Ep 1: Shmuley: The Man behind the Yarmulke.
Ep 2: Saddawg, MadDawg, and IMPP: 3 Generations of Dedication to the Female Form
The Goatholder episode will go through all former usernames. 3+ hours but will be epic.
I have Peaches' cell number if someone wants to interview him.
Awesome...that helps a lot. Anyone know what Fitz is doing now? If he's said on the podcasts I've listened to I missed it.
More Cowbell - the Mississippi State Podcast
My particular favorite is the episode after the Outback Bowl against Iowa.

Nah, we’re all good in that department. Thanks tho.
I listen to Out of Left Field occasionally. T&L most days and Boneyard about once a week. Fitz podcast I think is, 'The has been and the never was' or something like that. I haven't listened but need to.
There are minor things that are slightly annoying, Like doing the show while eating, Hadad and Faulk bickering, Rosebowl chronic burping. But from a purely content standpoint the most entertaining is T&L with the 'no coffee' and 'things that are true'. I hate the rasslin' talk. Rosebowl often has better inside information but his show can be majorly tedious with the literal 'play-by-play' recap and the top 10 list is an immediate fast forward. Bart and Charlie are pretty good. Kind of hit or miss though.

I enjoy all 3 of those but for those that complain about advertising time on T&L and Boneyard, they don't hold a candle to the advertisements and commercial time on Out of Left Field. I feel like I have to keep my finger on the 30 second forward button because half of what Bart says during the podcast is all about promoting sponsors.
i used to listen to T&L until it got be all about being controversial/emotional to get attention. Need something more professional, I’ll give Fitz a try.
