    Love the Podcast
    Alex and his guest always deliver, always a great listen

    Podcast on the Brink
    Podcast on the brink is one of the most information podcast I listen to. It always offers fair analysis on many aspects of Indiana University basketball, as well as insightful information on the landscape of college basketball. A great listen for anyone who is a fan of IU, the Big Ten, or college basketball in general.
  • starfishcommand
    Informative
    Love the variety of guests. Always a straight take. As a fellow Podcaster (Iconic Seasons) and IU fan I love the passion for IU Hoops.
  • MidWestner
    Great pod
    I look forward to listening when I see a new podcast has been posted ! Keep up the great work
  • Perry Caramello
    Alex rules. He is the king
    I’d listen to him talk about cricket. The man is measured, passionate, and interested— but most of all knowledgable. I feel lucky this show and his site exist. Not every fanbase has this.
  • Ggrigs
    Great podcast for the novice Hoosier fan
    This podcast has a lot of different guests from the student media department at IU. A lot of the interviews are from people who are finding their voice and trying to get on-air experience. They also tend to be journalists who are still learning a lot of the nuance of the sport. So, with that being said, this podcast is great for younger fans, or maybe IU students who want to learn about the team but aren’t Basketballheads, or maybe alumni who just want to casually keep their finger on the pulse of the program. There is a lot of wholesomeness and heart in this podcast. If you’re looking for wonky or hard-hitting Basketball analysis then there are probably a couple other IU basketball podcasts that would be up your alley.

    Boring
    Lacks excitement or enthusiasm for a fan base that craves it. Extremely conservative questions and answers that rarely push the guests or host to give real insight or opinion. For a team that some say has the most passionate fans, the host seems content to be safely in their comfort zone. Audio issues with voice echo. 3 ads per 30 minutes If you are looking for a IU basketball podcast that simple regurgitates information from Ken Pom and Torvik this is for you. You do not have to worry about any “Hot Takes” because they rarely give any takes other than basic roster updates and the occasional “it’s possible they win or lose” Gives off the vibe of simply providing an additional source of revenue for the website as opposed to a fun informative conversation about Indiana basketball. Recommendations 1. Be less monotone 2. Ask one question at a time so the guest and listener can follow slinger better. 3. Get outside comfort zone, Give real thoughts on lineup changes, recruits you want over others, teams that are 4. Actually fun Segments, like “insider news of the week, comparing players in different generation, best place to watch a game” Hosts seem content with taking advantage of hungry fan base by doing bare minimum. Other options to recommend would be 247 or assembly call or even Hoosier hysterics. Best of luck
  • Zimbonics
    Best IU Hoops Show.
    Deep dive in all things IU Hoops without emotion. These guys know and live IU basketball. Great analysis from subject matter expert guests.
  • Hshdhehcd
    If you love IU b-ball you’ll love this!
    Really good IU basketball podcast. Bring in different guests and provide new perspectives!
  • Jack in WA
    Reasonable conversations about IU basketball
    Alex gets great guests and great insight from them. Conversations are objective and fair. One of my favorite IU podcasts.
  • Ace77717
    Great Hoosier Basketball Listen
    Podcast on the brink is a great way to listen to guests and hosts talk about all things IU basketball. There’s an occasional “insider” nugget of information but mostly just passionate talk about a program desperately trying to regain the glory it achieved for decades.
  • JDubs2109
    Question-answer-question hurts my ears
    I’ll come back if ask open-ended questions without injecting your answer/opinion. We know what you think from the blog. I value your writing and opinion. But I don’t know what your guests think. Respectfully, A fellow Hoosier
  • Doc weif
    Thanks for the great content.!
    I love all your great research and hard work on IU basketball. Although, when you interview your guests I feel like you need to just ask the question and let your guest answer. You seem to ramble and answer the question for them before they get a chance to give you their reply.The Brian Evans interview is a good example.Just food for thought and keep up the great work
  • WAFY82
    Best IU podcast
    Great guests and the latest info
  • cremefracas
    Awesome show
    Awesome show. Go Hoosiers
  • tommymorrison4
    Must Listen For IU Fan
    Great stuff here week in week out. Jerod and Alex do a terrific job covering IU basketball to help inform fans. Thanks for all the work, guys!
  • Hoosier Missionary to Michigan
    Life-long Hoosier fan
    I love the show each week. I listen with my 10 year-old son. I really tired of Jeff Goodman’s casual swearing on his episode. Not necessary. Have a little respect. I know he’s not always on and have no complaints other than that.
  • labeck81
    Good show
    More recruiting episodes would be encouraged
  • JackR1 12 40 4
    Can you bring Jordan Hulls on to the podcast?
    It would be awesome if he came on to the show.
  • csxjon
    Great podcast!!!!!
    My favorite podcast, cover Indiana basketball as you only can in INDIANA!
  • Bailey1011
    Great Podcast for Hoosier Nation
    Jerod Morris does a great job of giving fun insight and keeping me informed even from the sunny beaches of Florida. When it comes to keeping up with what's going on with the program, this 1 of 2 podcasts I turn to. Would definitely recommend.
  • snzarate
    Great weekly IUBB podcast
    Great casual listening for IU basketball fans looking for news and discussion. Good hosts, and good guests, but not a lot of insider information a hardcore fan couldn't find elsewhere.
  • Starheads13
    Best podcast for IU fans
    This is my favorite podcast.....followed closely by The Assembly Call. Alex and Jerod provide great insight and perspective regarding IU basketball. I enjoy the variety of guests they interview. Easily my first pick of all podcasts whenever an episode drops. Go Hoosiers!!
  • All4IU
    Great!
    Great podcast with hosts that know what the Hoosier fans want! Great job Jerod & Alex
  • RSschu
    IU Hoosiers Hoops
    If you’re in Indiana basketball junkie this is a great source of news and opinions. Alex and Jerod are passionate, enthusiastic, bring in good guests to share their views and balanced in the reporting.
  • StormBeforeTheCalm
    A Must for Hoosier Basketball Fans
    This podcast is a must for Indiana Hoosier basketball fans who are looking for intelligent and timely discussions about their favorite team. Through the years, Jerod and Alex have booked an impressive list of in-the-know guests who share insights into the program, the team and the game of basketball. Jerod is an excellent interviewer and it seems at least once every episode the interviewee pauses on at least one of Jerod's questions to say "That is a really great question." Alex and Jerod have clearly done their homework in deciding which guests Hoosier Nation would like to hear from and in preparing which questions to ask and how to draw out the most meaningful information for their listeners.
  • Kapplegate44
    Really excellent podcast!
    This has become one of my favorite podcasts. Good information and also very entertaining. I never miss an episode.
  • Leah Shea's Dad
    OK there’s one more Hoosier Basketball pod you need
    Great Stuff . Thanks
  • HoosierAbroad
    Best source for IU discussion
    Jerod is a fantastic host. Alex, while not the most polished speaker, is quite informative about IU and the rest of the B1G. At roughly 30 minutes/week, it's a must-listen each week. Keep up the great work, gents!
  • Jeremy in DC
    Ask the Q and get out of the way
    It's hard to stomach all the question-answer-question format with your guests. You have guests on for their opinion. You could be extracting more insights and covering more ground if you don't insert anecdotes and stories and your own opinions right after asking your guests a question. As Dan Patrick says of a good interviewer, ask the question and get out of the way. Easier said than done but the good ones can do it. Until then, 3 stars at best.
  • Nikki&Jeff
    Love the podcast
    Great stuff
  • CMcClain11
    Fantastic!
    Great content with great guests. Highly recommend!
  • stfergs
    Must Listen for any IU basketball fan
    Well produced IU basketball podcast that is always topical, insightful, and fair. Almost always an instant listen for me each time it loads up in my podcast feed.
  • iugradmark
    The best podcast for staying up to date
    Enjoy the podcast. Alex and Jerrod do a nice job of providing up to date information for Hoosier basketball fans.
  • dkeelz
    Fantastic job!
    Great podcast ! Don't miss an episode. My only question, how did chronic Hoosier gain notoriety, he's just a regular guy! Kidding.
  • Bobby Chicago Kentucky
    Great listen
    Excellent interview.
  • Hoosierrvsv
    Great podcast
    Really enjoy it.
  • Dunaway14
    Awesome!
    Long time listener of POTB and the Assembly Call. Love them both and will continue listening!
  • The Rocket
    Go Hoosiers
    Excellent weekly coverage of IU basketball. Thanks for improving my daily commute!
  • Jon Ringger
    Must Listen for Hoosier Faithful
    I simply can't get enough of POTB. I look forward to listening to it weekly or even better binge listening if I have missed a few episodes. It is always great hearing about recruiting in the offseason and future projections. Keep up the great work! #goIU
  • Ponbbbbbbhjjkl
    I listen every to every single episode
    Great stuff. I'm addicted. I especially like when the podcast features guests (although it's often nice to listen to Bozich and Morris just talk to each other for awhile) and when the hosts goof around or let themselves veer off topic occasionally.
  • Robb_Cook
    Great Podcast
    Always a pleasure to listen to.
  • Jg77ed
    The best!
    PTOB is one of my favorite podcasts! The guys do an awesome job of analyzing the each game and the state of IU basketball. I look forward to every new episode.
  • flybird999
    To Jarod and Alex,
    As a regular "Inside The Hall" reader and IU fan for 64 years, I enjoy "Podcast on the Brink!" Your knowledge of the IU basketball situations are great, interesting, and candid. Thanks for all your reporting.
  • Eggnog T
    A must for any Hoosier fan
    Alex and Jerod do an excellent job of breaking down the biggest topics in IU hoops each week. Interviews with guests provide added insight.
  • Las Vegas 1234
    Very Helpful During These Dark Days
    Without excellent podcasts, such as this one , I doubt I would still be paying any attention to I.U. basketball this season. They manage to keep me engaged without the snobish sarcasm of many sports shows. Thank you gentlemen.
  • JRhoosier
    Love the show
    Current IU student and listen to the show all the time, the guys have a lot of insight and generally an interesting show. Best part is even when the hoosiers are playing horribly you get to hear them vent all of the frustrations you already had.
  • tacrowe
    Great stuff!
    I love the analysis on this show! Definitely a must listen for IU fans
  • Kmfinop
    Balanced
    The guys do a nice job of not being "homers" despite the potential to create something like that. Regardless of the success (or lack thereof) of the team that keep it insightful and balanced. I look forward to every installment and always learn something noteworthy.
  • Judgment Day Eller
    Informative
    The show is very informative. As an avid IU basketball fan, I listen to almost every episode and discuss it with my dad. As a former podcast host myself, I feel it could be edited a little better and having a little more fun to lighten the mood might help too. All in all a good listen.
