    UNBEARABLE LOUD COMMERCIALS. !
    The listening experience is ruined. Ear blasting commercials. Will it changed! Of course not. Cha Ching cha Ching cha Ching.

    Ads wore me out
    The Ads are a dealbreaker… loud… dropped in randomly… sometimes mid WORD….More than once in the middle of a Jon Miller home run call on the Post Game Wrap….I’ll still listen sometimes but the days of being locked into KNBR are over for me…
  • Hugo.yu
    Too many commercials
    The amount of commercials vs the total clip length, is too high. And they commercials are dropped in out of nowhere. It ruins the listening experience.

    Uploading has to be improved
    Man. KNBR giants coverage is top notch. But seriously, postgame highlights and postgame wrap NEED to be posted after every game. Seriously, no one is willing to spend a few weekend hours to get these posted??

    Obnoxious ads / Amateur sound editing
    I listen for some guests. The hosts are inconsistent. Annoying ads 89% of the time.

    Pros and cons
    On the negative side, I Agree with the numerous reviews that the ads are way too repetitive and loud. I can't hear anymore about sean ryan or lala kent, neither of whom I ever heard of. I also agree with the review that Papa's comments about sex and women can be pretty gross. I agree with another reviewer who said they need more diversity, like how about ONE female host? And more people of color. Culturally I don't get any of Murph/Mac, Papa/Lund or Tolbert's music or movie references. On the plus side, after that ugly Superbowl, I appreciate all the baseball content. I like that the pod clips out the guest interviews, instead of just an hour or a whole show (like 95.7 does), I can listen to the radio for that. Marty Lurie is great, looking fwd to him and Bruce Jenkins again (even tho I'm about 3 demographic brackets away from them). Disagreed with Brian Murphy about Kapler but respected his Giants coverage since 05-06. Some of the guests are excellent, like Marcus Thompson and Eno Sarris. They need to book more women journalists. Wish they hadn't fired FP right before mlb season but I like Kerry also. I like the positive vibe most of the hosts have with the journalists they interview.

    Love (mostly)!
    Been a long time listener, and love the content, staff, and insight. I’ve also had the pleasure of meeting many of the on-air personalities over the years. My biggest complaint are the commercials. Not that they exist, I understand ad revenue, but the timing and volume. They come out of nowhere, and are seemingly on level 11/10. Some of the audio in the interviews is softer and quiet, requiring listeners to to turn the volume way up. Then, out of nowhere, some extra loud voice starts talking about a sponsor. Not only is this frustrating to have the shock factor of someone yelling in my ears, it’s also dangerous for those driving. I have been startled multiple times while listening to this pod and driving due to the extra loud commercial interrupting an interview that was on higher-than-normal volume.

    Terribly Done
    Fail by whoever is putting together these shows. An insult to to all involved that they get interrupted mid sentence by Lund yapping about god knows what. Avoid at all cost.

    Nada papa
    Is the papa and kind show just all about how much papa thinks he knows?? He talks to much like he’s the smartest guy in the room.

    WAY TOO MANY COMMERCIALS
    I’m listening to some quality interviews, like Steve Young, Kyle Shanahan, and then BAM! Another ad spot with John Lund shouting “Let’s Go!”. I’ve had my ear drums blasted and destroyed for the last time. I’m unsubscribing from KNBR podcasts, WAY too many advertisements (4-5 in a 13 minute interview how is that even possible); and WAY too loud. Done
  • Surf2Die4
    The live radio feed:
    I’ve streamed KNBR from the website as I no longer live in the area, but the number of ads is ridiculous, so I’ve gone exclusively to podcast replay segments on the various shows. They will literally broadcast a full slate of commercials, updates and whatnot, then the hosts will talk about upcoming guests or something for a couple minutes, then another five minutes of ads. Also, if the feed drops, even if for only a couple seconds you get the same Tim Ryan (or whomever when it changes out after weeks) 60 seconds promo before the feed comes back on. It’s too much and an insult to our collective patience, so I don’t bother any more and advise every “ex-pat” I know to skip the station live altogether, as well.

    Love hate
    I love the content, humor, and in depth coverage of my favorite sports teams. However, I hate the audio mix and how the levels are engineered.
  • Su11yK
    Volume of ads ruin great shows
    Great interviews and host. But the volume of the ads ruin the listening experience. They pop up mid-sentence at a high volume. Drop the volume of the ads and this is an easy 5-star rating
  • Aprilsaysso
    The best
    Love listening but the loud ads that pop in mid sentence are atrocious. Other than that it’s fantastic.
  • The Raffinator
    ADS blow out eardrums
    Enjoy the local sports content. Do not enjoy having my EARDRUMS damaged by the OBSCENELY LOUD ads that are spliced into the podcast. PLEASE FIX THIS Knbr
  • OakHorn
    Ad volume is ear destroying loud
    content is great … but volume on ads is over the top punishingly loud … just dial it down a little … don’t want to hold it against your advertisers…
  • MoistCooter
    FP Santangello
    is hilarious and entertaining to listen to. He’s what I come back to KNBR for.
  • All nocal fan
    Yup
    Great content completely overshadowed by the LOUD and OFTEN ads that make it unlistenable.
  • Southpaw2612
    The ads ruin this
    There I'll be 2-3 ads per episode no matter how long the episode is. They are in the middle of sentences too. And they are SO loud that I'm driving and have to turn the volume down every time. I get that they want revenue to have the ads but there are better ways to go about this. Do better KNBR!
  • OMOCAM
    Ads are a problem!
    Love the content but the ads keep popping up in the middle of an interview at an ear splitting volume, blowing out my eardrums! Just infuriating!
  • calimom39
    Love content pls less ads
    Omg that Lala Kent ad over and over. I DONT love her… do who she is but she sounds mean
  • CredibleReviews
    Too many commercials
    Good content but so many commercials! Gets distracting. Got AirPods in and a sudden “lets go!” Commercial in my ear too loud and too often.
  • carl strestremsky
    Unlistenable
    This is completely unlistenable at this point with the constant loud, annoying commercials. Nice job killing your own product, knbr— hope those speedy oil change checks are worth it.
  • Mrboldballs
    Good content, way to many commercials
    Typically really good, bay area focused, sports content. I enjoy the interviews and being able to get nice bite sized sports radio when I need it. It’s classic AM sports in a modern format. Their biggest downfall is the amount of ads. I don’t mind some but they are obnoxious, often just cutting ads in the middle of a sentence. 3-4 ad breaks for an 8 min podcast is absurd. Just leave a short one at the beginning and end and I’ll listen. Now, half the battle is avoiding the avalanche of ad breaks every interview.
  • Mudzi42
    Too many commercials and badly edited
    I used to love listening to SF Giants wrap etc but now there are too many commercials and they are cut into the podcast so poorly.
  • Baseball Fan 415
    Disruptive Commercials
    Love listening to pre- and postgame shows and some interviews, yet the way the commercials are edited into the content is so disrupt and illogical. In one four minute segment, the interview was interrupted 3 times with commercial segments. And each time, it was in the middle of a sentence! This is chronic in every episode I listen to and it’s really frustrating. I understand that commercials are necessary evils, but c’mon
  • Slodude7
    Commercials occasionally interrupted by content
    Used to love listening to these, but now they are more commercials than content. The commercials will be interjected mid sentence, and are often significantly louder. I understand that companies need to make money, but this is garbage.

    Giants Postgame Wrap issues
    My whole family loves the postgame highlights and wrap, and grew up listening to it after every game. But whoever is in charge of posting them does a terrible job! They’re always hours and hours late, sometimes not even the next day (like it’s 10am and last night’s still isn’t posted), and they often post the postgame wrap twice and no highlights or vise versa and mislabeled, so you think you’re getting both parts and you actually have the same thing twice. After years, I’d say about 30-40% are posted incorrectly and always after much delay. I’d love to listen every day after a game, but often can’t! Please fix!
  • used to be a listener
    Morning show
    Is anyone else tired of the Murph and Mac adolescent act? Always making fun of different people like jerky 12 year olds. And the constant UCLA talk and talking down Cal. This is the Bay Area not So Cal. Take that act south or cut it out. I don’t listen to that show anymore.
  • Matt Gowdy
    Commercial volume too loud!!!!!!!
    Great content, but the volume levels are way off!!!! The volume on the advertising/commercials are extremely loud! I like to listen to Podcasts to relax before bed and I can no longer listen to the KNBR podcasts because the commercials are crazy loud! The podcasts on KNBR have been that way for over a year. FIX this please!!!!!!!
  • TJ68238383773
    Content is great, the humor and “entertainment” is too bro
    KNBR has excellent sports content. But I cringe so often or roll my eyes at the humor. Hope they can work to expand their audience to include people who aren’t just bros. Excellent Giants content and guests.
  • Jukebox_Heroshima
    More Giants please
    Would love to hear more Giants hotstove discussion.

    FP. Loved the interview with Darren and JT. Very kewl!
  • CharlieHustle16
    Giants?
    Man, I miss having a team with stars and must watch talent. Haven’t watched a game all year because they manage this team like a small market one. This is San Francisco, not KC, we need some names, Farhan has made this organization boring as he\\
  • Mr.B. Obama
    KFSO in San Francisco
    I go way back MIA till Timmy Have lived in Boulder Co With the net it’s like 1962 It looks like you significantly cut the pre and post game live discussions Ching If I hear that 1-800 Cars for kids I’ll become homocidal
  • Moneil P
    Starting to stale
    Ive been listening to KNBR for 35 yrs or so. Lately the show has succumbed to the mindset of the bay area. Superfluous talk radio that backs the organization and rarely is critical of anything. Their broadcasters lack diversity for a decade plus now sans Brooks and now Copeland. Softball questions after softball questions. Ill still listen for the guests; but not the hosts. (Example: crowley openly mocks AZ or the Reds only to see the Reds mop up the Giants. Crickets)

    Postgame Wrap
    I am often at the ballpark and look everywhere for the postgame wrap: picking players, analysis and the highlights. The TV version doesn’t have all of it and has too mu Papa for my taste. Please post all of the wrap here. Yeah, I know the season is over (😱) but you need to do it in 2022.
  • runner8042
    Always shuts down
    I’ll play the podcast on my phone and if I switch to a different all the podcast stops. Also it will randomly stop when the phone screen locks after a few minutes. I spend more time messing with it than I do enjoying listening to episodes

    Need the whole show's audio
    Most interviews are cringe and uninteresting. I want to hear Tolbert's take on everything
  • TheBulwas
    Bring back the full shows!
    1 star now because I have zero interest in the isolated interview segments. When you podcast full shows I listen all the time. Full shows gets 5 stars from me. I don’t understand the waffling on this.
  • ygwkap
    Inconsostency
    First off let me say that Jon, Dave, Kruk and Kuip are legends of the broadcasting game. It is such a privilege to have them calling and analyzing games. One of the best parts of their broadcast is the highlights and post-game wrap which they do after every game. It’s great when knbr posts them here but it is so inconsistent. Some games you do, some games you don’t. I’d listen to this pod more if I could count on the wrap & highlights after every game

    Lazy workers or cheap management? Not good no matter what the reason.
