Chiefs podcasts

[Dunerdr]

I've seen several small podcast discussions in different threads, mostly bitching about how they arent as smart as the CP brains, so i figured we could all bitch in one place about them.

Sorry if I missed any.

I'd like to just weigh in on some of these.

In The Trenches is pretty good some of the time, mostly for Nick Leckey, who brings a Geoff Schwartz-esque look behind the curtains of practice, locker rooms, and trenches play. Other than that, it is a corporate podcast meant to promote the Chiefs at all levels at all times.

Locked On Chiefs is pretty great if you just want a daily check in with two people who miss absolutely nothing the Chiefs are up to. In particular, Ryan Tracy is excellent. He hosts "RGR Football" on YouTube and is great at breaking down concepts effectively. Chris Clark knows the Chiefs and is the best on the podcast-sphere for calling a spade a spade, but he is so bad, personally, on the podcast. His delivery sucks the energy out of your bones.

Arrowhead Pride has a couple things going for it. It has From The Podium, where Pete Sweeney plays clips and comments -- and your enjoyment of that is based on your enjoyment of podium talk. Sweeney also has a couple drive segments he'll post throughout the week, including a 90 minute extravaganza the evening of the game. It's fine for real-time analysis.

But Arrowhead Pride's AP Lab is one of the best in the biz. A team of AP analysts break down tape as thoroughly as they can. The breakdowns are the best on the podcast-sphere, but they are a little homer-ish, and won't always call a spade a spade.

Amateur Hour is largely defunct for now, but it was a 90 minute podcast with perfunctory analysis that I rarely found compelling. It's based entirely on if you dig the hosts' personalities, but it was started before any other podcast on the Chiefs that I know, so it's mostly just habitual listening for those who got hooked on them when there was nobody else in the game.

Chief in the North is defunct, as Seth Keysor now runs another podcast.

SportsBeat KC is defunct, as Terez Paylor largely ran it. The Star folks still do a weekly broadcast on Facebook, but it is not translated into a podcast that I know of.

Roughing the Kicker is hot garbage, and is more interested in the ESPN-esque EVERYTHING HAS TO BE LOUD AND ENTERTAINING AT EVERY MOMENT than it is any kind of analysis. Some of the interviews are alright, but the host can't interview to save his life.

Others not mentioned:

I talk about 4th & 1 on ChiefsPlanet with some frequency, as these guys are completely my speed. Not only do they offer great insight and top notch football knowledge, particularly from Nick Jacobs, but their delivery style is chill and passionate, rather than always trying to be phony radio dudes or blowing smoke up the listener's ass. They're probably my favorite.

The Terez Paylor Show is on now! And it's excellent. You guys know Terez, he's incredibly entertaining, very funny, knows football not just in terms of X's and O's, but he knows narratives forwards and backwards. He is a lot of fun to listen to.

Time's Ours is "The Athletic"'s official Chiefs podcast. It features Seth Keysor and Nate Taylor and it is great. Very entertaining, though a bit homer-ish, and packed full of great analysis you won't get anywhere else. If you're a paying subscriber to "The Athletic," you get two pods a week. If you're not, you get the one.

A couple notes:

• AHPKC isn't defunct entirely, but yeah, who knows when they'll put out another episode.
• Sportsbeat KC isn't anywhere near defunct. They've put out 5 episodes in the past week alone. That said, I've been boycotting it due to Brooke Pryor. Once she's gone and Herbie Teope is there, I'll probably give it another try.
• Your three "others" are my highest recommendations, personally.

4th and 1 - Weekly, but they know what they're talking about and aren't homers
AHPKC - Not regularly released, but I like the guys. Probably about what a CP podcast would be like
Locked on Chiefs - Most frequently released (daily). Analysis is good, but not great
In the Trenches - Good, but filtered through the lens of marketing

Locked on is alright other than they really get caught up in who they like and don't and play to those agenda's at times.
