This is a great sports media podcast channel that will one day rival the big ones out there. But Sports isn’t the only topic. This channel doesn’t shy away from important social and political issues of the day. It’s a great outlet for a great broadcaster in Laurence Holmes and his friends. Sports Adjacent is a must listen every weekend. Most of you reading this have no friends. I get that. Well, Sports Adjacent is there for you. Just listen in and you can hear what having friends is like. Any episode with Leila Rahimi is a banger. She is too good for Chicago so enjoy it while she is still here and before the national media types steal her. Then, you can be a hipster and “um actually” your friends when she’s on a national morning show. You can say that you were a fan of Leila Rahimi when she was doing local Chicago radio and podcasting. Your parents had Bill Kurtis and Lester Holt. You have Leila Rahimi. And Laurence delves into pop culture as well. Star Trek (Bloodwhine), comic books (his own as well as others), and his other varied interests find space here. You like Marvel Comics? Boom. Here you go. You like DC Animation? Here, have some analysis. And now I shall put various keywords here to help with the mysterious algorithm. Bears. Cubs. Bulls. Blackhawks. White Sox? Marvel DC 108 Chicago Sky Progressive Driver. Is this enough? I wish I was creative enough to put together an acronym just to tick off Bernstein, but my flight is boarding now so I’ll just stop this review. 😂

Great Chicago sports podcast! Whether you’re a local or out of towner this podcast keeps you connected to what’s really going on in the Chicago sports scene. Laurence pulls no punches and gives honest insight. Gives both praise and blame when due.

I have a long commute back and forth to work and listen to a ton of podcasts. House of L is one of my favs! Laurence Holmes could read a dictionary and make it entertaining.

Laurence Holmes’ ‘House of L’ podcast delivers insightful sports commentary with a refreshing twist. His engaging discussions and deep dives into the world of sports captivate listeners from start to finish. With each episode, Holmes brings a unique perspective, keeping the content both entertaining and thought-provoking. Whether you’re a die-hard sports fan or just tuning in for engaging conversation, ‘House of L’ delivers every time. Five stars without a doubt!

Laurance is and has been one of the best voices in Chicago sports!! I love his pod!

Always enjoy listening to Laurence whether it’s the radio or elsewhere. Love the House of L pod and getting his perspective on not just sports but other topics as well. Sports Adjacent is great and looking forward to more episodes with Leila Rahimi.

Love the show! Yes, you should be a Giants fan.

Yep, I am a newcomer to this podcast. I guess you can say that I’m renewed. Use to listen to the Score back in the day… probably since 1995. I remember Laurence Holmes producing back then. Hadn’t listened to the Score since 2012. My search for Justin Fields content of any kind brought back to the Score recently…where I discovered that Laurence now has his own show co-hosting with Dan Bernstein. In my opinion Laurence has grown into a local media giant personality. His ability to clearly translate his own opinions (mostly sports related) with just the right amount of energy, expertise, and flair is a joy for me. I love listening to the score again and have truly enjoyed the couple interviews on here that I’ve listened to. The Leila Rahemi and Jason Goff ones were fire! Keep up the good work.

He loves to criticize and critique others but if he feels you are doing it to him he becomes defensive, verbally abusive and his go to is to invoke the race card for no reason. Really sad. He has a chip on his shoulder and loves to think he is the smartest in the room.

Thanks Laurence for many years of discussion and silliness. Been listening to your various shows since the “Me and Z” days. Always entertaining. A great mix of journalistic integrity, casual fun and thought provoking discussion. Keep up the great work.

Laurence, just wanted to say that your ‘why am I a sox fan’ podcast hit home. You spoke for many of us. Time is too short to keep banging our heads against the wall with this franchise, which clearly doesn’t give a rip about its fan base. I’m with you. Go, Expos! Chris Madison, Wis.

Lawrence has some of the best takes on sports. Even if we don’t agree on all I respect EVERYTHING this man says. Very knowledgeable, true to himself and authentic. I’ve never listened to someone for so long that has always been themselves. Keep doing what you’re doing!

I enjoy local sports content in a knowledgeable, funny and real world.

I’ve been listening to him since his early days on the Score, and the podcast extension of what he does there.

This podcast is very entertaining, enlightening, and makes you smarter.

The best interviewer in Chicago. Laurence sprays to all fields on this podcast, conducts incredible interviews, and has some entertaining shows. Every episode is a must listen.

Big fan of his tone on the podcast.

The House of L discussions and Sports Adjacent are must-listens each week for me.

I recently got back into podcasts. I was an early fan of the house of L. Love the growth and diversity on the show. Glad I’m back listening

Laurence Holmes and the House of L is a great podcast. Half sports, half entertainment, half informative, that’s three halves. That’s incredible!!

Laurence brings his unique perspective to issues both wide and narrow with honesty. That’s all we can ask for and he has done it for years. Keep ‘em coming!

Love listening to the House of L and the great guests Laurence puts together!!!

Thoughtful, engaging and intellectually honest.

Great interview w/ Olin! I appreciate Olin’s posture around “the incident’. Hopefully all parties can move on so we can get more Olin on more platforms. Me and my boy met Laurence a decade ago @ TJ Donlin’s during camp. L was such a good/humble guy to chat with us nobody’s for over an hour! Can’t wait for each new podcast!

Heart warming how much Russ adores him. Barry is no stranger to good causes. Read his column as a kid, and I was blessed to be associated with charities he supported.

I’ve followed Laurence since his early days at The Score and have always enjoyed his perspective and takes on the sports world. The first 2 podcasts have been great. I look forward to future guests and hope he gets a rasslin’ guest or two along the way! 👍🏽

Great interview/podcast with olin. Loved it

Didn’t know you had a pod 🤷🏻‍♂️ saw it on twitter. Olin is your guest, boom I’m in. Great job 😎 loved it. No Name Football Pod is definitely on my Mt. Rushmore 🕊

Holmes is the best interviewer in Chicago sports

Just stop

Love Laurence. Grounded, balanced and a great interviewer

Love Holmes since the Score Underground in the early 2000’s

This is a must listen. Very interesting guests, and Laurence is a great interviewer. Check it out! UPDATE: I love his “stream of consciousness” episodes and hearing his thoughts on shows, movies, specific sporting events, etc….And he’s handsome.

This pod is interesting and filled with honesty that is rare these days. He is genuine and wanting to teach us about his guest. I don’t have much interest in the media side of the business. I find myself having listened to many of the pods - entertaining and informative. Well done !!

Laurence is the best interviewer in the game today. Incredible content!

Always enjoy Laurence’s interviewing style and the way he gets his guests to open up.

I just got back to listening to the House of L. I guess life got in the way. The content had exploded for the listener. I enjoy the different voices and angles this podcast puts out. Keep up the great work L!

I stumbled on this gem since I enjoy listening to Laurence Holmes. The topics covered sometimes are sports related but not always , which is refreshing because the conversation is not constrained to sports. Love Sports Adjacent and the solo host shows with Laurence and Maddie. This podcast is much better than listening to sports radio noise.

Honestly, the whole network is must listen. I came for Laurence and became addicted to the whole cast of wonderful idiots. Sports Adjacent keeps me laughing and Rongey, Roki, and Fish are the friends you didn’t know you needed. Tony Gill you are just silly. 10 stars for this whole crew

I also need more! Pleeeeaaaase!

Need more of it!!!

I want Tony fired now!!😎

Sorry Jason and Russ, Tony actually is the star of the show.

Always been a huge fan and I love hearing more of you. I love the podcast. Keep it up! Russ> James fox and Marcus couch

Laurence Holmes is a pro. Incredible at his craft! Keep the content flowing!

Keep it up. Love all your content. Even tho we don’t agree on a lot. You keep it real.

Absolutely love Laurence. He has a great voice and great takes on life and Chicago sports. Love all his content.

Please keep it going

This episode is the reason I subscribe to House of L. L takes the time to ask great questions and share the love of sports in a relaxed way for the listener. Great job in getting the emotions from the guest to enhance the listening.

Loved the episode with JJ and Cam, need more of them, it’s not the same without em!
