I occasionally listen to Blackerby.

The why is because he’s generally in pretty much immediately following a game or major event.

Rush
Balckerby
Mike G

In that order but I listen to and pretty much enjoy all of them for their insight.

Don't listen to Mike G. Zac is so/so. Worth watching when he has Brad Law on. Brad's a real one. Charlie 5 is cool. Bright down to earth guy.

Blackerby and Locked On. I dont enjoy the personality, but I they make really reliable content. If something newsworthy goes down at Auburn I will get the details from an exclusive podcast. Other than that, their dailt show lasts just as long as my shower so it works out.

I listen to all three.

Zac on my morning drive to work and sometimes after games. He got good topics most weeks. He's young so I don't always get his perspective on things but he's solid.

I thought Charlie5 was cooler before I knew his real name was Kyle. Ha! Seriously, great he's got content and a good balance for Zac when they co-hosts.

MikeG is great for player perspectives and behind the scenes nuggets.

I listen to all but also listen in the perspective that they are just fans and most are very uniformed about coaching. So their coaching takes I take with a grain of salt.

I think the War Rapport has a silent agenda. Take that however you want.

Zac seems miserable and does like 40 shows a week. Maybe he’s just down with the losing but needs to come across like he at least enjoys his own show.

Kyle is great just talking from a fan perspective that doesn’t pretend to know everything just tells you what he thinks.

I listen to Locked On Auburn on my commute to the office pretty much every day.

I really only hear Rush when he’s on Locked On.

Mike G I see on twitter and that’s about it.

Locked on Auburn- first thing I hear every morning. My elderly dad lives with me and is very hard of hearing. He turns on Blackerby so loud that I can still hear it when I go outside.

Pretty much all. Dapprich and the uni-brow guy are just meme's, but I can't stop watching.

How is Dapp's heath?

Blackerby is incredibly loud already. When he starts he is basically screaming and then tapers down.

This is why I like charlie5 the best. I don't mind hearing an Auburn fan's opinion.

Blackerby is a loud clickbait machine.

Agreed. I like Charlie 5 best, especially when he has Reese Dismukes on.

I listen to all of them fairly regularly because they’re not long and I can listen running errands or traveling.

Can't believe there have been this many posts and no mention of JFerg and Dan Peck.

Jason Caldwell is my favorite Auburn media person.

I like Kyle Rush best of those 3. Blackerby just screams crap that he hopes will stick to the wall. Mike G's show has been are telling fans to write to Cohen and push Durkin for head coach. I agree with Corch that Mike G and his posse have an agenda.

Someone else mentioned Jason Caldwell. Jason is easily the most reputable media member out there covering AU sports.

Zac. He seems a little more grounded than the others. It may have more to do with his show/delivery being more refined, while the other two are still perfecting their technique.

I'm guilty of religiously watching all three, however...
