Who’s putting out 4 hours of podcast content on Boston sports every day?

I can't even imagine being so into Boston sports that I need to hear 4 hours a day of talk about it. That's more then the amount of actual play time they are talking about.

I mean I don’t listen to all four hours, most days hours 3 & 4 are just repeating hours 1 & 2, I was just making the point that podcasts aren’t really an option if you like to listen to sports radio each day.

I also don’t listen live instead opting to wait for the episodes to be uploaded as podcasts and that cuts the runtime down to 45 minutes for every hour before skipping the ads.

Dale and Holley were great, Michael Holley was easily one of my favorite sports guys. He knew what he was talking about and he kept the non-sports talk to a minimum without making the conversations ever feel forced.

It wasn't long after those two left that the morning shows became about hot takes and stopped having sports be the main focus, the amount I've listened to sports radio has done nothing but decline since Holley stopped being a part of Boston radio, now I don't listen to any at all.

Either podcasts or just don't listening to sports radio at all.

I stopped 3 years ago and my sports fandom has only improved.
