STILL Amateur hour
After a few months off, I was hopeful this podcast dropped high school level Ethan but he’s still somehow the moderator of this awful pod. And Chris offers no objective perspective. Just non stop showering of blandishments and kissing of butt content. I mean Cavs are great but come on Chris, last year you defended inept JB and this year you proclaim Niang is untradeable?! lol. Must do better here!

Ethan your mic is hot garbage.
I enjoy this podcast and its content but for the love of God Ethan can you buy a mic that doesn’t sound like you’re talking into a Nokia inside of a wind tunnel. It’s a podcast. Produce quality audio.

An embarrassing listen
Fedor is one of very few people who can give good Cavs insight, but it’s become so plainly a habit for him to have an incompetent co-host that I’m starting to wonder if he deliberately prefers it this way, so that he can seem smarter. That’s the only explanation I could come up with for having Hayden and now Ethan co-host. They are truly the two least qualified people I’ve ever heard host a podcast, and that’s saying something! I want to keep up on the Cavs, but this is an embarrassing listen.

Fedor is Great, Needs a Legit Sidekick
Chris provides some if the best insight in the NBA, period. Ethan just is not good enough, showing flashes if insight but coming across as forced and inarticulate. What should be my favorite sports podcast is sometimes instead just hard to listen to.

Let the new guy give his opinion
I feel like Ethan doesn’t get to give his full opinion on certain things without being cut off. He’s got a head for sports and knows what he’s looking at but isn’t given his shot. Chris will argue circles around him and end up getting to the same point Ethan started at just for arguments sake. Like c’mon man.

Co-host Struggles
I really enjoy Chris’ analysis and POV, but this podcast has clearly been struggling to find an adequate co-host for him. Hayden struggled to facilitate interesting conversation and now Ethan seems under-qualified and his cadence is terrible. Jimmy was great when filling in for Ethan — keep him on full time!

I miss Hayden
I still wish Hayden would’ve pushed back more to Chris but man, at least he spoke proper grammar. That man just said “Didn’t Not”. It’s a tough listen now

Not just for Cavs fans!
Really enjoying the Wine & Gold podcast with the new co-host. I can’t call myself the biggest Cavs fan, but they talk a lot about sports in general, which I appreciate. The pod is easily digestible and informative, without a lot of fluff. I download the shows so I can listen anywhere.

Hayden out?
We need Ashley hosting this. She is so much better than Hayden. Hayden is not good. Unprepared, unprofessional, no set release schedule, poor audio quality and editing. For a well done podcast, learn from your colleagues with Orange and Brown Talk.
Clean it up Hayden.

Hayden, please stop talking. We’re here for Chris’ insight. Someone please buy Chris a microphone.

Oof
It’s the audio equivalent of watching paint dry. A broadcast devoid of inflection, personality and any useful insight much less any inside information.

No
Please get an actual cohost. Hayden doesn’t know anything about the nba landscape or basketball in general. Really holding you back Chris.
Recyled ideas
Content Good, Wish They Were More Frequent
Pretty sure they posted the same POD twice in a row and the posts were 5-6 days apart. Sound/editing isn’t very good.

Audio
Sound needs fixed. Every show starts with 10 seconds of awkward sound and Hayden’s audio is always terrible. Sounds like Chris is talking on the phone most shows.
Content is great, but sound quality needs improved.

More volume from Chris
Content is always super solid but audio levels are so different. Makes it hard to listen to.

Way too inconsistent
Fedor is really knowledgeable and brings great insight. Hayden seems like a fan who doesn’t know anything. Would be more enjoyable if they could actually get a pod out every week, instead of having to guess when the next will hit.
Great Squats
Painful
Content is good and Fedor has good insight and perspective. He needs a better podcast partner. Hayden unfortunately does not offer anything, comments have little insight and actually does not complement Fedor well. The show has potential but not without change.

Cavs? Yes this is the place
Easily the best Cleveland Cavaliers podcast on the market. One thing that is also added is Chris’s insight about what he hears throughout the league as well. This is a weekly must listen for all NBA Fans alike. Hayden does a very good job of keeping the show going. Great chemistry and flow between the two. The show only gets better

Collin sexton
Im just confused as to why Chris fedor thinks collin is incapable of playing point when he showed us he can and if you dont believe it why cant he continue to develop that just like darius ??? lol

Like the show and like getting great Cavs content...
But have trouble with the way it sounds. Does Hayden not know how to use or position a microphone?

Good reboot
Reboot has great content but the audio quality is poor. Chris’s audio is significantly louder than Jayden’s.
make podcasts great again
Excessive background noise
Way too often there is background noise, poor sound quality, interference etc. coming from Vardon.
