Great platform with a bunch of Crew faithful speaking their mind! Thank you!

Podcast is very negative and clearly bias.

I’ve had a love hate relationship with this podcast for a while. The latest episode really turned me off. To insinuate that a club legend in Cucho forced an exit because you are butt hurt about him leaving before the season is disrespectful and speaks to what others have said which is this podcast has becoming more of a platform to rant and complain. I think something major that was left out was the context and Cuchos perspective when considering an exit. Cucho has made it clear he wants to play in the World Cup…. Not just make the team. To think that a summer transfer and playing less than a year before the World Cup in Europe would do the job is baffling. Especially considering that Cucho got reprimanded by the coach the last time he was called up to the National team. Demonstrating the even bigger need to show up and perform against the best to win favor with the coach.

A great group of friends, who are fans, who share great perspectives on the Columbus Crew and MLS soccer. I enjoy each episode.

Every episode feels 50/50 Crew talk versus rambling about random things. Just feels like half of the talk about the Crew and MLS is complaints when I’d prefer listening to something where I’ll learn more about the team and league.

Please fix the audio. I want to listen to the content, but couldn’t finish the latest episode because there is just too much background noise.

This episode went off the rails and they started bringing the topic of Abortion up. Talk about the team and lackluster performance in the field. But you would rather get in your soapbox and complain and ask others to join your cause. Ugh Sports is a escape from reality. Nothing more, nothing less. It’s supposed to be fun.

Found this podcast during last season and really enjoy it. I am not a soccer X and Os guy and I really enjoy the takes and strategy discussion.

And great analysis, too.

Talk on the Crew is good and entertaining, but is unfortunately filled with bad takes and political talk.

The audio needs work. But the content is pretty good.

This podcast was much more entertaining when Morgan Hughes and others were on along with Alex. It has gone downhill since then, but is still enjoyable. Go CrewSC!

Hoping to hear some unique opinions on my beloved crew, I decided to seek out a podcast for some weekly CCSC education. Massive Report has sufficiently kept me up to date on Massive details, but it hasn't done much more. I really appreciate the friendships that exist on the podcast, including the humor, natural ribbing and inside jokes. However, the show so frequently devolves into arguing and not listening to each other. They are fundamentally cheering for the same team, but passive aggressively undermining one another at the same time. It starts out with good intentions and eventually comes back to a good point. But the time in the middle with attacking each other, negativity, being defensive, and worrying incessantly what people will say on Twitter is unbearable. Just because our team is falling apart this season doesn't mean the podcast has to follow suit.

A must for crew fans

It's not easy to set up microphones in a bar and get professional sounding audio. It's also not easy to champion soccer in a city dominated by college football. But that's what the good folks at the Massive Report Podcast do, and they do it very well. The show is what you'd expect from a quality fan podcast: game reviews and previews, interviews with key people on the team and in soccer, and an overview of the USMNT and other teams of note around the country. While it's a fan podcast, it doesn't fall into the trap of "four guys huddle around an iPhone and giggle for 30 minutes." Instead, the hosts are prepared and know what they're talking about, and the sound is professional throughout. If you listen, it sounds easy, but it's not. Massive Report Podcast is a must-listen if you're in Ohio and care about soccer. And even if you're not in Ohio, it's still worth a listen.

Columbus Crewzers FC is the subject, so basically - what’s not to like? Matt Goshert, the host, is a man who some have called “a guy who I think I’ve seen at Hendocs”, which is probably true. Greg Benson, who does the world-famous “Cards Against Insanity” segment, can only be compared to Sergio Herrera in his effect on the local soccer community. Justin Bell is a walking encyclopedia of random Serie A observations, which is a thing that hasn’t caused a person to vomit in at least four weeks. Morgan Hughes has been called “ a true American hero” by his mother, and was recently told by his grandmother to “call more often”. There might be a guy named Alex on the show sometimes, but no one is really sure. Probably not. There is probably not a guy named Alex on the show. No. Personally, I listen for the Land Grant Brewing Company spots. Pay no attention to my username. Acesssssssssssssssss. #WhisperFont

Living in Atlanta, it's hard for me to keep up with Crew SC. I watch the games and keep up online, but I've just got no one to talk to. This podcast makes me feel like I'm back home, talking with friends at a bar about the club. I'm a new subscriber this season, but it immediately became a must-listen for me during my commute. I've never reviewed anything online, but I wanted to break my silence for these guys. I wish I could get up to a game or two this summer to thank them in person for keeping me in the loop from 500+ miles away, but for now this is all I've got. If you have even a passing interest in Crew SC, download and you'll enjoy.

A great listen for Columbus Crew and MLS fans. The guys have fun with it while throwing a lot of intelligent soccer talk your way. I like that it's not entirely biased towards Columbus. I'll continue to listen.

Good way to stay up to date with the Columbus Crew news. If your a die hard or a casual fan, this cast will keep you entertained. Good for any MLS fan but If you're a Seattle or Chicago fan, beware...

As a Crew fan I would really enjoy a professionally run podcast that delivers options and news about the team. Every time I feel like The Massive Report is almost there, I get disappointed. This pod comes of as one host who tries to keep the pod on track and productive, then three other guys who think have horrible senses of humor and constantly side track the show with bad attempts at jokes. Maybe it would be better if everything they joke about didn't come of as an inside joke that excludes the listener. As I said before, very close to being a good podcast, and I will continue to subscribe to it.

The Massive Report Podcast could be so much more than it is. Matt, the main host, is an obviously knowledgeable fan. He's prone to rants, but that would be fine if he had a balancing co-host. Unfortunately, some of the rotating cast of characters that co-host are even more prone to rants, to unreasonable statements, or being flat out uninformed. Some of then are great. However, there are usually 3-4 of them and at least 2 will fall into the previous categories. Matt seems to be friends with these people and unwilling to really challenge all but the most uninformed or over the top opinion. Even when the analysis is good, it can be hard to hear. The podcast is taped at a bar. For example, episode 52 had some excellent analysis, in parts, of the team. It was drowned out at time by the voices of the people playing pool around them and the sound of pool balls colliding. I don't want to have to strain to hear you over the background noise. The podcast at times forgets its a podcast. Saying, "Show of hands!" and then never reporting what the results of the show of hands was doesn't help the listener. Hosts will flat out admit they don't prepare. They're just as likely to go on a rant about the Blue Jackets (seriously, a frequent tangent, if I wanted to listen to a CBJ podcast, I would) as they are to talk about the Crew itself. When they do talk about the Crew, it's just as much to rant about the incompetence of the coaching staff and front office as it is about the team itself. I find myself saying: I'm giving you an hour of time, at least, in my week. And you can't be bothered to stay on topic or be prepared? More than once I've stopped listening half-way through because the topic has strayed so far from the Crew. I've listened off and on for over a year. Inevitably, I unsubscribe from the podcast, fed up with the blind fandom and ridiculous statements. Then something interesting will happen with the team, and I'll want a fan's take, not just the take of of the team issued podcasts (a new-ish development at that). I'll download the latest episode and be reminded why I'm so disappointed. The MRPod is what it is. It's a group of buddies, drinking cheap beer in a bar, who happen to decide to record their drunken back and forth and publish it. I just wish it was more than that.

I love the insight you guys give us into our favorite team. Keep up the good work.

I love this podcast. It provides more information and in-depth analysis than any other Crew-related production; and does from the perspective of the fan. They record the podcast live at a Fado's Irish Pub in Columbus, but it's mixed well and sounds professional. They've had some great guests on, including Crew player Danny O'Rourke and Crew legend Duncan Oughton. The show mixes humor, discussion, and analysis in a way that leaves me wanting even more. My only wish for this podcast was that it was recorded on a weekly basis...perhaps in the regular season.

So glad you guys put this up on Itunes. Thanks! MUST HAVE FOR THE CREW NATION.

A podcast that deals with the highs and lows of the Columbus Crew, done by fans but is very professional and it's funny. I love the guests so far Crew Legend Duncan is a guest on the second show keep up the good work.
