Colin, you’re killing me with the vacation time. J-Mac is great but enough already. Hunker down and get back to it.

Beware If you subscribe with auto download you will end up downloading about 8 different podcasts. Cowherd has a podcast network and unethically puts them all under his show, often my phone downloads up to 4 episodes and only gets1 hour of Colin and 3 episodes from other people I never wanted. You have been warned. Otherwise I enjoy Colin’s show when I don’t have work to find his show through the mess.

Colin’s takes are good, though I agree with 65-70% of them. McIntyre’s constant criticism, negativity, pessimism and putting words in Cowherd's mouth is too much. New side kick is definitely warranted. The guy from 3 and out podcast is ok, anything is better than what you have now. There’s a guy you had a few times in the past year who is really good. After a week of shows his delivery and timing will be spot on, or one of the ladies you have on from time to time Colin, sorry about the 2 star. Co-host brings a good show down.

Great stuff, thank you Colin

The most commercials and ads in the history of podcasts.

Best podcast and j Mac is a great co host never change

The man knows how to create interest and intrigue in topics most people would dismiss, unless you’re a true sports fan..but WHY does he settle for a Jack-in-the-box sidekick, when there have to be better options he could work with??

I have listened to Colin for years and I always loved the show. However, Joy Taylor and Jason McIntyre have been complete misses. I still listen occasionally, but getting through 3 hours rarely happens.

Racism Lives & Comes Because They Could NEVER Play A Sport Or Pass A Military Test Mentality Or Physically So To Be A Racist And Blame Others. And These People Except Them All. Sad. What Do You Get Being Racist.?

Can’t stand Jason I will listen again when Jason is off the show

Tries to convey intelligence but typically falls short

Why are there other things besides the heard all I want is to listen to the heard 😭😭😭😭😭😭😭😭😭😭also the show the heard is great love Colleen and Jason

Cowdung is LAME and ANNOYING.

Colin is likable and occasionally funny. But there’s a lot of repetition and logical fallacies. He needs more guests.

I always enjoy each segment and it allows me to stay in the know of what is going around the sports world.

It’s time….. It’s time for LeBron to transition to LeShawna James and join the WNBA. The Feminine Behavior & Energy can’t be denied at this point. The single mother raised LeBron is showing. You can’t tell me he doesn’t have a low Testosterone level. Hear me out…. He can transition and dominate the WNBA for 5 years, 5 MVP’s, and 5 WNBA Championships, and then we can send the Bronsexuals to their Happy Place! Hey Gurl! Hey Hunnayyyy! 💯⛹🏾‍♀️🌈🏳️‍⚧️🤢🏳️‍🌈🦄💅🏽

Man I really hate to do this, because you have always been my daily listen. I have been listing since you were at the other place. I download all 3 hours and listen at work, always a day behind. Nonetheless I listen everyday. I have completed lost interest in the show and don’t listen anymore. My main gripe is the show has become to Chicago. I have zero interest listening about Da Bears nor do I want to hear anything about Caleb Williams. I dang sure don’t want to hear about them everyday! Goodbye and may you continue to have much success in all that you do.

It’s tiring and becoming boring. Enough Bear’s coverage please!

So annoying to get non The Herd shows within the feed. Also, stop with all the commercials to start the pods. You expect people to stay and listen? All this feels very lazy and money grab

Your theory that the NIL has become a security blanket for NCAAF head coaches didn’t prove true.

If I wanted to listen to every random “Volume” podcasts I’d do so.

After you get past their sometimes silly chatter on the front end of this podcast, the rest of it is really good.

Absolutely love the show, absolutely love the thoughtful, in-depth opinion pieces. The show always makes me think about sports and more. But for the love of Pete, Jay Mac is a disaster. Sophomoric, often trying to make something out of nothing and it’s very transparent. this is not a good fit. He sounds like a mix of .edu guy and somebody who should work for entertainment tonight, and not in a good way. He's a complete embarrassment for the quality of that show

(Sports Island Club on YT) I recently made an in depth video review on youtube which I think is very fair. I explain why the Herd is a really good show but not great. I realized I rambled a little bit I apologize in advance. Colin still has one of the best shows on FS1 however

Don’t understand why subscribing to the Herd requires the other random pods under The Volume to be in my feed. Please stop. I didn’t sub to any of them.

I didn’t follow 12 podcasts, but I get them. Change and I’ll return

Always enjoy listening to Colin off and on. Very annoying not to be able to follow just the herd feed. Not a fan of the add ons. No interest.

I like the pod, BUT!!!! Can you remove all those other annoying feeds!!!! Except for Nick thanks.

Colin has terrible producers, nobody checks him when he’s wrong and he never checks himself. Right off the bat, he said that the Chiefs and Eagles games was tied at half time. Dude, u are over paid for ur garbage takes.

I love sports and if you love sports this is the perfect podcast

So annoying to get non The Herd episodes in the feed.

Colin says the same things twice.Over and over again. Fills the air until you realize he’s already said that. Over and over again. Just like Dan Patrick and the rest . You’re right Colin, A.I. is making our lives better. Soon we’ll be able to eliminate your redundancy and betting ads and reduce your show to 10 minutes.

Dear Colin — your show has been my favorite since 2007. However, I subscribed to your podcast here and I suddenly realized I am sifting through episodes to find yours. I get it - FOX or whoever is trying to promote other shows. I’m not sure what else I can do besides complain about this. I won’t name any names, but most other sports content creators get too far off topic. I also sent a complaint to Apple telling them their content is broken for allowing other podcasts to share the name “the Herd with Colin Cowherd.” I subscribe to a podcast and I don’t want to hear anything but “The Herd.” There is a space for “related content” and that’s where the other content belongs. I will gladly restore my review to 5 stars if this issue is repaired. After all, Colin, just like the length of the baseball season - more content is not making the subscription to your podcast better. Simplify this thing, please. I believe you used to use the term “meatball” when you referred to fanatics. Well I’m starting to wonder who the meatball is adding all these other shows to my “Herd” subscription. Thanks for your consideration. I’m only one review, but I’ll bet there are many who agree.

Bro can not get off his knees for dak

Chad makes me painfully optimistic about my Bears and Simon brings me back to reality. Say the word Simon, the Bears Super Bowl bet is in the queue.

Collin goes on vacation every other day.

JMac - the prince of recency bias. Kelce and Swift - more than 30 seconds on that. I am out! Cowherd might want to rethink taking so much time off during his twilight broadcasting years. What happened to the claim - oh football season is here and I am here every day for you (paraphrase)

You have to stop filling the feed with every show under your banner. It would be like going to a restaurant and the waiter brings your order, but also covers the table with cosmetics, used auto parts, balloon animals, and pet supplies. By the time you sift through the nonsense you’re so disgusted you leave.

Becoming top podcast for me. Just using word…literally…way too much

I like the herd. I would follow like subscribe to boost it. But you get all these other shows that I’m not interested in shoved down your throat. But I get it. Ya have 18 pods lined up and after I finish the herd my auto play lines up the next one and you get a view. But that’s just a gross grab at views. Bums me out.

Cowherd is an entertaining host, but jmac makes the show unlistenable. His takes are terrible and hes just so annoying.

Sophie is a G. West too. A couple of real ones. 🫡

Basically 0 content and just an exhausting amount of ad after ad after ad. Actually cringe what podcasting has become today.

I generally like the show but it should be called “The Herd: Guest Hosted By…” Does Colin take every other week off now?!?!

Colin finally found a replacement host who has Colin-level game…. Danny a welcome respite from past impostors

I tried to watch with Colin out & it is just not watchable. Jmac only talks lecrybaby & lakers. Come on & give us a break. We are over him & the lakers. Please reevaluate the talent before football season starts.

Was forced to unsubscribe due to my podcast feed being littered with all the other “volume” pods I subbed to this pod and if I want the others I’ll sub them too. I’m ok with a preview here and there but I was having to delete up to 20 other pods a week so was forced to unsubscribe to Colin entirely.

Colin is great. Vibe between he and JMac seems to be deterioration fast. Show is unwatchable when JMac fills in for Colin and Alex Curry is a disaster. Please reevaluate talent. Lots of room for improvement.

Bad takes and 50% commercials. Just insane. Average commercial is 5 mins long…Jason tymph is trying to become the new Colin and he’s awful too.

Colin Cowherd’s command of sports culture is alarmingly shallow. Yes, he can recite ratings, rules, and box-score trivia—but the nuance, passion, and lived realities that ignite competition are entirely lost on him. His reflexive dismissal of small-market franchises and lower-seeded programs exposes a ratings-obsessed worldview that reduces sport to a predictable spreadsheet exercise. By championing only the “blue-bloods,” he betrays the very essence of athletic drama: uncertainty, upset, and the improbable rise of underdogs. The magic of a 15-seed storming the Sweet 16 is precisely what sustains the NCAA Tournament; Cowherd’s inability—or unwillingness—to comprehend that suggests he’s either never played a meaningful minute in any sport or he’s parroting talking points to maintain studio harmony. His continued incredulity over Brock Purdy’s success—rooted solely in draft position—underscores the problem: when results defy his preconceived narratives, he falters. For anyone who has ever been underestimated, Cowherd’s commentary doesn’t analyze; it condescends. He earns a solitary commendation for occasionally acknowledging his misfires, but those half-hearted mea culpas can’t salvage an oeuvre of intellectually bankrupt takes. In short, expect volume over value. Skip this show and invest your time with analysts who respect the full spectrum of sport.
