    Love the show
    More Kevin ,James , and Mark. Jeff’s comments are usually awkward or incorrect, then he doubles down trying to make the others look bad.
  • MikeMeyer711
    Like the chemistry
    It’s early, but so far the chemistry of the show has been excellent imo. Looking forward to a long run I hope with this crew.
  • escott96__
    Disappointing decisions
    This show was amazing when Kevin, Jake and Marc were together. Ever since, it’s been one wrong decision after another. Only way this works is Kevin and Jake back together. All shows are suffering due to this.
  • newpuckrising
    Andy is too much
    Enjoy the colts talk. Everyone is fairly informed. Andy had good talking points and ideas but his whacky morning DJ voice he used is exhausting to listen to. I have to turn it off sometimes because he’s just talking in such an obnoxious way.
  • thedp321
    Two idiots
    The epitome of bad Indianapolis sports coverage. They’re as bad as Anthony Richardson but on the mic.
  • Zp9191
    Great show
    love the show!
  • Hey Bull Dog!
    Too much DJ talk
    25% less DJ jabbing from one of the hosts would make the show 100% better.
  • 0siahj
    Get this new guy OUT OF HERE
    Talk about exhausting and annoying to listen to. Get someone that doesn’t yell directly into the microphone for Christ sake.
  • oldslow runner
    New guy is terrible
    Feel sorry for Kevin Bowen as new guy is annoying.
  • slow351fox
    Could be 5 stars
    Kevin and Mark need to run the show. Every time Jake talks it just ruins it.
  • indyfolk
    Nope
    Jake is too much. I sometimes think Kevin’s comedy annoyance is serious. Query is arrogant, ignorant and never shuts up about himself. Mr. Get off my lawn, himself
  • Allen Floyd
    Really good local show.
    If you are a Indianapolis sports fan you have to listen. Jake and Kevin kill it. Keep it up.
  • waynewideopenTD
    Kevin & Query is the best combo
    Keep it up!
  • @mhinton25
    Excellent
    Really enjoy listening to Kevin and Jake. Great show daily!
  • Saint 6mill
    No Joe
    They fired Big Joe. So I guess I’m out.
  • tjbnmk
    I don’t like new format
    I’d rather to listen to individual interviews instead of the whole broadcast. Or at least have the option.
  • Duckman45
    My favorite to listen to on the ride home
    I usually can’t listen during the day but as Butler grad stuck in SEC country I appreciate being able to get a taste of what’s going on with my favorite teams. I mean how many segments on Tennessee recruiting should one person be subjected to. Joe and Grady along D^2 and Scottie J make it great. Bumper music for Mike Wells is a classic.
  • T_Brown11
    Full show now!!!
    Love the show so much and can’t listen live, put the whole show on here!!!!!
  • kyrojack
    Best Indy Sports Show
    And as an added bonus you can skip write over Greg Rakestraw’s over inflated sense of self worth!!
  • Shane777777
    Grady and Big Joe 🔥
    Always entertaining and great dialogue. Really glad to see they are on podcasts now.
  • Jebpllc
    Bring back full episodes!
    I have unsubscribed because I can no longer listen to the complete show
  • Dusty - Danville
    Changed the podcast
    Only putting certain segments of the daily show on the podcast ruined it! I used to love the show but now I can’t listen because I’m out of state. The podcast WAS a live saver until they changed it a few weeks ago.
  • TourneyFanatic
    BRING BACK FULL SHOW EPISODES
    The Grady and Big Joe Show is by far the best sports talk show out there. I listen to it everyday and it helps me keep up with the Indy sports market. Since moving out of Indiana it was nice to have this podcast to download and listen to on my commute, especially since I cannot listen live because of work. They just recently switched to only recording interviews instead of the whole show, but I hope they bring back the full episodes. It's safe to say this show is an addiction and without the full episodes, I'm going through withdrawal! Love the show guys!! Please bring it back!
  • Indydan6624
    Fantastic!!
    These guys are great! Entertaining and informative. If you're an Indy sports fan, this is a must listen. So glad to have them back on iTunes!
