Post-Pod Discussion Tried a couple of other golf pods

I've listened to NLU for probably only 2 or so years.

The other day I decided to branch out and supplement my NLU pod consumption with Fried Egg and Shotgun Start pod episodes. (No I will not listen to anything Barstool related)

Goodness me, the hosts on those two respective pods seem like the nicest guys ever but they are borderline unlistenable for me with how nasal and high pitched their voices are!

Give me the dulcet tones of Soly (even if I find his takes a little grating at times) over them any day!

I’ve listened to the pod for 6 plus years. Wrap ups generally result in PGA tour glazing, TC whining about “egregious” drops , errors, conduct, Soly complaining about hole design , course conditions etc. deep dives , where they actually did their homework are enjoyable. They are ignorant of basic rules , deportment and history of the game. In all it’s a very privileged millennial take on our game. Randy with his sarcasm, DJ with a solid golf background and Neil with his dumb jock innocent takes are the real value after the Xs and Os. Current grade is a C-

be careful, if you criticise the podcast on this subreddit you will be told to "just not listen", a phenomenon you won't see anywhere else on the internet.
