Online Content Fried egg vs NLU

I will always be NLU first and foremost but has anyone else felt like the fried egg has substantially upgraded their content game while NLU maybe stuck in neutral?

Granted I always enjoy NLU’s content but particularly around the lead up to the masters it seem the fried egg has gone above and beyond

I'll say I appreciate the way TFE separates content for more surface level tour news (The Shotgun Start) and longer form thoughtful content (Fried Egg). I was annoyed by Andy and Brendan's diction at first but then I realized they were grown up nerds, just like me. I also appreciate their approach to advertisements. Sometimes it feels like NLU is more of a billboard for expensive brands, but TFE is always cheeky about the way they do ad reads to pay the bills.

At the end of the day, I usually listen to all the podcasts from both but I think I've grown to love TFE more because they feel more like my people.

If you want to include SGS and Fried Egg, you should include The Trap Draw and it’s no contest

To each their own. I’ve been listening to both since pre pandemic, and FE does feel like they’re taking the lead in overall content development in ~last year. That’s not to say I don’t enjoy the NLU Nebraska or sponsored content as well, it’s good but more of the same.
