    Good, but not enough
    It’s the best Pelicans podcast. But episodes come once a month or less. That’s not nearly enough. Do it once a week and you’ll have something going.

    Listened to the last episode
    Zion is by far a better player than Ingram. As far as whose team it is, Zion is the guy that if he reaches his potential will carry the team to the championship that’s not BI.

    Love the show, but there’ve been some issues
    To make a very long story short, I would love to give the show a full five stars, but feel like I’m being generous with four (at this particular time.) Avid, voracious Pels fan from AZ. I consume all the Pels related media I can daily. I drive a lot for work, and use Pels podcasts as my happy place when on the road. Because I drive a lot (and, admittedly, don’t have the best hearing having been a performing musician for 20+ years) and I need decent quality production to hear what is being said - and unfortunately this show has some less than stellar production. Often times, I can barely hear what one of the guys is saying. Other times, there are odd audio issues ex. One show was almost nothing but feedback with the host not realizing it was almost impossible to make out what they were saying. Huge fan of the content and the hosts, but I beg you guys for two things: More consistent shows, and better production.

    Used to be good
    I used to listen to this podcast all the time and was excited when an episode came out. Since then attitudes and people have changed and now all you get is self righteous guys complain about literally anything they can about the Pelicans organization. They say they want to grow the fan base, and I think they were at a point, but now it’s just a disappointment every episode and tough to get through the first 15-20 minutes every episode.

    Must listen if you are a Pelicans fan
    Every episode is worth a listen. I love the round table talk format.
  • D harris
    Informative
    I enjoy his opinion but he does a great job backing it up with stats and facts. One of my favorite Pels podcasts
  • TennMan2323

    Audio issues
    Would be 5 stars if there weren’t consistent audio issues.

    Volume level inconsistencies
    It can be so hard to hear some of y’all sometimes. This time it was Grubb. Y’all are awesome, but fix the audio please :).

    Can’t defend itself from Laker fans
    We need a podcast with stronger leadership. It’s just disappointing that these guys are constantly getting roasted by common laker fans and other laker podcasters. It’s embarrassing for our fan base. We need someone that can stand up to all those laker trolls not get pwned over and over. when i go to there twitter account i feel like i just got beat by dallas by 50 points all over again. i would compare this podcast to a gif of a giant dumpster fire.

  • Strong podcast
    Best source on the Pels
    I've been following the Bird Writes and the Bird Calls for a couple years now, and they are definitely the best source out there on the Pelicans. Kudos to Preston, Oleh, Kevin, and the rest of their team. The only thing missing are more interviews with members of the organization.
