A Lot of Wasted Time
When they actually talk about the Bengals, I enjoy the conversation. However they waste a lot of time talking about nonsense, nothing to do with the Bengals or football. Episode time could be cut in half if they stuck to the subject matter.

Great pod
Can we turn Mo’s mic down and ask him to stop clearing his throat? Please?

Jay is good people
We love you Jay! We are all behind you

A must listen
I just could not keep this review to myself - each episode is must listen ASAP!! When a fellow texter sends you a link to listen - this is NOT the type of message that you would reply “K” to I believe that says it all

So Bald! So Beautiful!
The best Bengals podcast! The best football podcast! Paul Dehner Jr. and his Dehner-ettes continue to deliver week after week! Who Dey!

Bengals!
Great Bengals podcasts.

Burrow compared to Mahomes, Allen, Jackson
In the 20 or so years the latter three have been in the league, they’ve missed the playoffs a combined two times. Burrow has missed 3 out of 5. The fans’ pessimism is well-founded.

Best Bengals Pod!
This is the best bengals pod out there! Informative, up-to-date, great hosts and guests, and all-around enjoyable!

Just a negative podcast
Why hate on the players. Life is hard and I usually listen to the show for a laugh.. Mark is the dummy! Get rid of him.. He’s not even a time worthy comedian

Charlie’s microphone
Charlie’s mic constantly is clipping. I like his insight but he’s got to back off that thing it’s physically annoying.

The best Bengals pod around
No one knows the Bengals better than Paul. Very informative and super entertaining, great podcast!

It’s nice when Paul isn’t Paul Downer!!!!! Great show, great Bengals insight! And who doesn’t cringe (in a good way) when you hear “Jays got Stats) 😬

The Re-Watch is MUST WATCH!
The growler is a must listen for the variety of insights and quality Bengals analysis. Then, you add Charlie Goldsmith. This is an embarrassment of riches of quality bengals coverage. If only the bengals could cover like you cover the Bengals!

I just can’t do it. I tried.
Let me start by saying this is the best bengals podcast out besides the bengals booth podcast. But it’s still not good. The only hope is having Jay on. Occasionally mo isn’t too bad. But listening to PDJ is like reading a 6th graders essay in school who needed it to be 2,000 words but when he was done it was 600 words long and he had to go back and add 1,400 words of filler. It’s easily 5 solid minutes of bad riffing before anything is really brought up. Then every sentence about the bengals is flooded with mediocre little jokes or rants about something or just looooong winded rambling that doesn’t add to a point or make any point. Jay is great. No is decent. Paul would be great if he stopped the mindless rambling that you can tell he THINKS is the casual riffing most podcasters do, but it’s not. The comedian guy doesn’t add anything to any episode. You can pull a collected 30 minutes of decent football talk out of the entire weeks episodes. That said. The other bengals podcasts are so much worse. If Jay did the PFN podcast 3-4 times a week it would be the best one by a landslide. Sorry for the bad review. I never leave bad reviews. But someone has to bring it up. If this was cleaned up it would get 5x the listens. Mark is worse than this Bengals defense.

Talking about his tour?
Once the new cohost started talking about his tour schedule for 10 minutes I deleted the episode and unfollowed. Will check back in a while to see if new cohost.

Solid Bengals Pod
I have enjoyed the variety of the episodes with the various folks that come on the show. The only part I dislike is the realtor bit that is disguised as Bengals talk. Please drop that part. Everything else is super solid, especially the good ole PD&Jay episodes as well as any time Mo is on. He’s so self-deprecating but hopefully he knows deep down he’s really really talented at sports talk.

MEH! It’s OK When You Can Listen To It
It’s an ok podcast-they aren’t as funny as they think they are; honestly if they weren’t laughing hard at their own jokes I wouldn’t know it was a joke. The in between moments, when they aren’t making fun of Bengals fans or NFL fans, are really good and they share some really great insights into the team. My biggest issue is trying to listen to the podcast, when I try to play it I get a, “Temporarily Unavailable” message. I didn’t have any issues when it was the old “Hear That Bengal” podcast and I don’t have any issues with any if the other podcasts I listen to-so it’s something weird with them.

The consistent mockery of the fanbase gets tiresome.

Less Mark please
One of my favorite bengals pods. Been listening for a few years going back to when they were on the athletic. But I can’t listen to the ones with Mark anymore. He’s annoying and tries way to hard to be funny yet isn’t.

Best Bengals Pod
Paul, Jay and Co. are the cream of the crop when it comes to Bengals news and analysis. Always a must-listen, whether you are a casual fan or a die-hard.

Best Bengals Podcast
Paul Dehner Jr. (formerly Mike Doughty of 90's band Soul Coughing) is the best, most entertaining, and reliable source for Cincinnati Bengals news. He delivers, even while suffering a minor stroke. His insight is on-point, and he is funny, as well. I like the format of 3 co-host, giving the show good variety.

Bring back Dehner and Jay. Lose the comedy clown.
I was so excited for the Dehner and Jay episode. It was nice to have that duo back. The new comedy format is absolutely terrible. This podcast doesn’t need a comedian. It needs 2 people that know this team and can get down to business. Please go back!

Friday show gotta go
Way too long, shouldn’t be longer than the actual bengals shows which are great. I just will delete that one each weekend since I’m subscribed to the growler. A 90-min pod that is long winded and rambling that you can’t really listen to until the weekend (and nobody listens on wknds unless you have a long road trip) and then a fresh new episode of Bengals with Mo and Dave on Monday means you get behind. So I just delete. Too many random topics that aren’t interesting.

Easily my favorite Bengals podcast
High quality work. Even though I don’t agree with all his takes, he gives great insight and rationale

Good, except…
No interest in the episodes with Mark. Skip those.

The best Bengals podcast, and among the best podcasts generally. For seemingly a decade, along with high-quality sports coverage and general entertainment, I’ve been thankful that Dehner Jr. and team have given Cincinnati expats a connection back to the city. Great that Morrison is back. Looking forward to them adding a weekly Survivor recap.

Bam!
This show hits harder than Vonn Bell on a Monday night. Absolutel must listen for Bengals fans. I won’t be missing a show, and you shouldn’t either!

Must-Listen for Bengals fans
I’ve been listening to Paul since the Enquirer BBP days, and I’m excited to continue. This dude is the ultimate Bengals writer and is my go-to for all Bengals coverage. Who Dey!!!

Together again
You’re lucky I didn’t give one star for not incorporating Bronson Arroyo’s “Together Again” song on your first episode back with Jay.

I was wondering why I hadn’t seen any episodes recently
Love that the gang is all together!

Wow what a show. Many are saying it’s the best Bengals show ever. That’s not what I’m saying that’s just what I’m hearing. Like from everyone I’ve ever met.
