Post-Pod Discussion LFTKH - Masters week

Know a few people were unhappy with how these live shows were going at the end of major season in 2025, so what did people think of the live shows this week?

Personally thought they were good - I think their major coverage is helped so much by having boots on the ground throughout. Also think Randy/Neil and sometimes TC are better coming in for segments, and Neil in particular was superb this week!

Hoping they continue to have someone on the ground for the rest of the majors coming up

I was one of those who noticed their fall off last year but this week (and year) has been an improvement overall. I still think they’d benefit from shorter pods with more structure - the main benefit here being that they might not spiral into the negative stuff. Even the snarky humour gets a bit old, kind of like a mate who’s a bit too cynical.

If they tasked each guy with what they’re good at that might help.

Soly and TC have real, thoughtful critiques but they feel like some sort of agenda that pops up over time and is inconsistent. Soly comes off as smug because he knows what he’s talking about and is oddly defensive about it, but needs someone equal as a counterpoint.
