Dave is still awesome! 5 Star, the new guy talks way to fast with bad audio connection!

Dia started seeming snappy and irritable near the end. Dave is awesome knowledgeable and funny, and Marlow is an awesome addition.

Content is good, but not wanting to hurt anyone’s feelings but Dia sounds like she’s a 16 year old student wanting to grow up to be 20. She’s too loud and tries too hard to dominate conversation. I also question her NBA player knowledge. Dave sounds good and knowledgeable. And no, I’m not chauvinistic and I support women in sports broadcasting. 10/22. Huge improvement!!! Kudos!

I’ve followed Dave since I discovered Blazers Edge but he needs a more knowledgeable co-host. Dia adds nothing worth listening to. Not trying to hate or be mean, it’s the truth. She seems like a great person and a hard worker but she shouldn’t be hosting a podcast the delivers well informed opinions to fans. She doesn’t seem to be well informed. Not sure why she’s lasted this long. I’ve heard them mention she gets everything set up so she should just produce the show.

I have loved Dave for 10 years or so. Dia does not work for me. Dave needs a different Co-host

Why do I suddenly find myself eating chicken and waffles for dinner tonight….

I like the blazers takes and he is definitely tied in to what is going on. There is a lot of lip smacking and plosives into the mic though which is annoying. 5 stars if the audio/voice gets cleaned up.

You know bad times are upon us when Dave is the optimist and Dia has gone from rainbows and unicorns to sinking ship. Absolutely love the pod. Thanks for helping us through rough waters.

The “expert” on the show doesn’t even know the basics around how the players were acquired. They complain about everyone else doing exactly what they do, which is half truths. Just super disgusted with this podcast and I’m done with blazers edge. If you want a podcast that is worth listening to, with unbiased reporting and actually know what they are talking about. I recommend locked on blazers or the Channing fry podcast.

This podcast has a lot of great personalities with a lot of knowledge and insight about the Portland Trail Blazers. I’ve been a lifelong fan of the team and I try to follow the team as close as I can. This podcast helps me better understand this team outside of the Wins and Losses. If you’re interested in hearing a more in-depth conversation about the Blazers or interested in learning more about the team, this is a great place to start. Danny, Dia, and Dave are awesome and worth the listen.

That’s when I knew you was on the kool-aid. Do you understand one iota how most blk people receive that throwaway sentence as “proof” against Billups. Where I think u guys failed is you have no blk voices on this show that examines or explains that context. Luke Walton has similar allegations in his past and got the Lakers & Kings job and no one put him thru grinder Billups just faced. We all going to look at this thru our various prisms so many blk folks see this situation as yet again as we get success we face scrutiny yall ignore from certain “others” … I care about blk folks success morso and the history of transgressions against us in some of these areas are something always at the forefront of our minds (get a guest to contexualize that) I’m very happy for Chauncey and I will be a blazers fan because I want him to succeed despite detractors…

“Should Blazers Shut Down Lilliard” If I wanted to hear someone whining complaining and crying I’d record my 4 year old. Danny Marang’s podcast was embarrassing for Portland media. “I’m from a bigger market and have higher expectations.” Really.. OK then.... This is a prime example of why players don’t want to talk to dimestore media with hot takes. Blazers playing poorly now and we want better, apparently the same with Blazers Edge.

I love the show I’m a blazers fan. Dame will not win the championship with cj that’s what I believe. Also why didn’t you ask Ben goliver why he was against the nba doing the Bible and now his reaping the rewards since the bubble worked and now he has a book out. His a hypocrite and I don’t mind when you guys talk politics but do it when you have someone defending the opposite side. Thanks for all your hard work to do the podcast

I don’t like listening to Danny Marang

Listened for a minute and Dave comes out and says something along the line of Damian Lillard, number 0 or letter O or whatever it is. Clearly out of the loop or too stressed out to do a podcast. Why should I listen to some guy who doesn’t know who Lillard is and what he stands for? Hard pass.

love dia and dave! a great duo and team!

:) 👍

I’m so glad you all finally address the elephant in the room. Danny you finally said it, CJ has totally under performed, injuries aside if cj had been playing better this team wouldn’t be as bad. Whenever we need him to hit a shot or take over dame duties he has failed more times than not.

Can you please stop pronouncing Nassir Little’s name incorrectly, Tara. It’s Nas. Like the rapper (Nah-s). So frustrating having someone cover the team mispronounce players’ names. C’mon. Get it together, Tahrah.

Keep it real and keep em’ coming!

Danny represents a large segment on the blazer fan base in being very pessimistic, he should learn to cheer up.

I would suggest you start off with a more formal opening. Hello welcome to the Blazers Edge Podcast. You seem to hit record and begin talking. A little more formality in the opening would help a lot. You guys have great info and takes! Keep up the good work.

Love the pod but your audio is pretty bad. If you are anywhere outside where it’s loud (in my case a subway in Hong Kong) I can barely hear anything. Compare it to Rip City pod or Canzano’s BFT as they both come in MUCH LOUDER. Are you using proper mics at all?

Enjoyed this until these clowns said no team in the NCAA could beat a European team that lunka went against. People forget there’s a reason there are very few European players in the league. I like hot takes but when it’s just outright wrong it’s tough to listen to 😶

Dan, I do appreciate your in-depth basketball knowledge but you could be a little less of a curmudgeon. Also, you come off as a little condescending to your cohost, Tara. You guys have a good balance between you but I could do with less mansplaining.

With out a doubt my favorite blazer and basketball podcast. Tara and Danny are a perfect balance!!!

At first I wasn’t sure if I liked the new duo of Tara and Dan, (maybe because I was so used to hearing Dave and Dan) but I’m starting to really enjoy the new dynamic between you two. I absolutely love the comment that Dan made about the new statement jersey when Tara said she’s staring to like it. “So do you like ugly puppies?”. Hahaha! I couldn’t stop laughing. I also enjoy the way Tara tries keeps Dan in check #GoTeamMom! Keep up the awesome work. The chemistry is definitely starting to come together.

We love our Blazers, and so do Dan and Dave and Tara. It is great to listen to them talk about the highs and lows of the NBA season from a Blazers-centric perspective. They have some fresh takes and its a great hour of programming.

This is one of my favorite podcasts - the one that gets bumped to the top of my playlist whenever it comes out. I appreciate the variety of voices brought on and love all the topics discussed. Tara has become a fantastic host, I love hearing her interview guests.

Thoughtful and well produced this is a gem for fans of the Trailblazers and beyond.

Dan's basketball acumen is second to none. Add in his self-loathing Blazers fandom and you have a recipe for a super entertaining podcast. This pod is my go to for all things Trailblazers.

This is a great place for Blazers information. There are three teams. Tara and Jo bring the "soccer mom" perspective, and they know their stuff. Brandon and Chris on the weekends are very informative (especially when joined by Eric), and tend to bring on good interviews. Dan and Dave sound a little like two old guys that pile on the negativity. Dave used to be joined by a guy named Phil, who provided a little push and pull with him in terms of attitude and opinions which made it interesting. However, Dan and Dave preach the same message, kinda brings you down by the end of the episode. Overall though, a good podcast!

This year--into the 2016-17 year is much improved. Dave and Dan in particular are energetic and knowledable, and, with all due respect to the previous co-host, it is a more intelligent and enjoyable show.

Kudos to you guys for getting Taylor Danforth on an episode. Been lamenting my commute ever since rip city mornings went through a makeover. Still not sure what happened there. Gonna miss his commentary this season. Guy knows his stuff and listening to his commentary just feels like hanging with an old friend. Hope you guys feature him in future episodes or he gets a regular spot.

I miss Phil and not a big fan of jo and Tera it was great listening before but now it's kinda stale.

:)

As a longtime BE fan/reader, I was very excited about this podcast. Unfortunately, co-host Phil is pretty awful. Uninformed and seems to think that his experience coaching tennis makes him an authority on everything. No, your tennis background does not make you know what Popovich is thinking, neither does it give you insight into the Warrior’s pursuit of 73 wins. Also, he does not know much about Blazers and the team history. Most annoying, however, are his ignorant remarks about the team and fans, which he thinks are so edgy and provocative, but are actually quite tired. I remember when he learned about the “soccer moms” label, and couldn’t stop using it every five seconds. How did he get this job? Nevertheless, I checked out months ago. Will come back if podcast fixes this.

I really like Chris Lucia's episodes (he is my favorite), and Phil for his outside opinion that sometimes grates Blazer fans for not conforming to the most popular opinions at the time. I'll catch every Lucia episode, and sometimes listen to the others when I get bored and have time. I do respect the womens podcast for being something different and unique, and hope they continue get better as they get more episodes under their belt.

Love this podcast...

This podcast is the only place to get the kind of in depth insight into my Portland Trail Blazers. Phil drives me a little crazy, but Dave and Chris are great.

Dave's been hoodwinked. Phil makes this unlistenable.

Dave definitely brings it in terms of leading the discussion and having a meaningful take. Phil, on the other hand, is just there... and really doesn't have a lot to offer in terms of a good take or analysis throughout discussion. He does at least keep the conversation moving. Still love listening as it is the best Blazers podcast I have listened to.

Love reading, listening to and watching Dave. I devour just about everything he puts his name to. Have a very hard time listening to Phil, though. Phil drones on without anything of substance to contribute. With a dearth of good Blazer podcasts out there (Courtside has turned into an infomercial, Dontonio Wingcast is retired, Bald Faced Truth is insanely diluted to fill time), this market needs The Blazer’s Edge Podcast. I've just had to learn to skip any episode with Phil.

I really like listening to Dave and Phil - great analysis and insights! I love reading articles/blogs about the Trail Blazers, but listening to these two is even more enjoyable! More (longer) shows, please! Can't wait for next week!

Phil & Dave always provide solid, insightful analysis and commentary about the Blazers on a weekly basis. It's a pretty young podcast but these guys already have good chemistry which makes for enjoyable listening.

It’s a good balance of Dave’s nuanced perspectives and Phil’s passionate impressions. That, and they talk Blazers, which is always awesome.
