The A to Z Podcast With Andre Knott and Zac Jackson

427

Zac Jackson from The Athletic and a rotating cast of his friends talk ball. Yes, a lot of Cleveland Browns -- but also the Ohio State Buckeyes, the NFL as a whole, the changing landscape of college sports and probably some Cavs and Guardians, too.

    Tony Grossi 2.0
    Too opinionated for how good of an analyst—he is and it’s turning him into the new Grossi which is unfortunate.

    Zac Jackson
    Always a truth teller even if you don't want to hear it

    Love it from NJ
    This is my connection to NE Ohio from North Jersey. Love Zac and his straight to the point style.
  • Joe in the land
    Best podcast out there!
    Zac doesn’t mince words and keeps it real. It is what it is and he calls it like he sees it. If we stink he’ll let you know and I love that. Will continue listening to whatever pod he’s on and I hope he keeps it going. I hope we get some more A to Z in the future but if not I’ll continue following Zac on whatever venture he’s on moving forward. Keep on being you, I’ll keep on listening.

    Zac’s the Best
    No Congrat needed here, Zac’s the best and brings a tone that all Browns and Cleveland sports fans can relate too. Enjoying the new format and looking forward to the upcoming guests and return of the baseball minute!

    Hands down best Browns podcast
    I’ve always thought Zack was best reporter in berea. This podcast is much needed for browns fans. Zack is a pro and the show is dense with content
  • Cam Football Guy
    Great to have it back
    Awesome to have regularly scheduled Zac Jackson podcast episodes with thoughts and discussions on the Browns and all things back in the regular podcast location!
  • Max Eck
    A must listen
    It’s great to hear the Athletic’s Zac Jackson multiple times a week. He gives honest opinions…it’s refreshing!
  • MHSVA
    Always the Best
    We need a 30 for 30 someday to explain why A to Z died
  • barneybp
    AND friends?!
    Really surprised to learn Zac Jackson has friends. I’m happy for him.
  • Vmagestro
    Smartest browns pod
    Zac is the best at what he does. He has an incredible feel for the NFL and speaks the truth when it comes to the browns.

    Andre Knott and the race card
    Andre follows former pimp turned race-baiting con man Tariq Nasheed on Twitter. If anyone out there was wondering how Mr. Knott became so radicalized, so quickly, look no further than his media diet. And his white wife. All black men who’ve married snow bunnies have been going out of their way to prove their blackness and street cred since 2020. Don’t believe me? Start paying attention and you’ll also see mixed-race people doing the same things. This is likely how Dre stumbled onto Tariq Nasheed and his blame-Whitey-for-everything routine. Only a complete moron would take anything Nasheed says seriously, but ever since Dre has been on a mission to prove his blackness, a moron is exactly what he’s become. Barry Blake North Canton

    Like Zac’s first car, it’s not clean or reliable, but you’ll remember it.

    Good sports info
    I love Zach’s take on sports, but could really do without being lectured by Andre every episode.
  • True Cavs Fan
    False advertising
    If you’re going to promote talking Cavs then don’t Cat Fish me for 38 minutes. Don’t be mad at me still love you guys.😀

    The tides have turned
    A to Z was my absolute favorite podcast for many years: I listened to all but maybe 3 episodes since it started. But unfortunately, I just can’t listen to it anymore. Andre views the world through the lens of racism and seemingly cannot go through an episode without reminding everyone how racist everyone is. In the last episode I listened to, 3 minutes in, he declared that people being upset with Odell Beckham Sr over a video he shared on Instagram was because “people don’t like when black fathers stick up for their sons”. If you’re turning THAT into a race thing, you have a self-esteem problem, Andre. I promptly stopped the podcast and unfollowed the show. It makes me sad, but I cannot listen to the constant talk about victimhood on a podcast about Cleveland sports.

    Truth
    Fun to hear two intelligent guys speak freely about things without letting their biases and employers limit their opinions. Keep speaking the truth gentlemen!!!
  • tomda4
    Decent
    This is a pretty decent podcast . However the disclaimer at the beginning warning listeners about the foul language needs to be taken out. He makes it sound like him and Andre are Sam Kinison & Richard Pryor. Your podcast really isn’t that vulgar bros.

    As a fellow fat kid from Akron, this maybe the greatest podcast ever recorded in a basement in Manchester.

    My Pandemic Panacea
    This podcast has truly helped me to escape the stresses of living during a pandemic. Their banter and laughter provided an escape from the isolation of COVID. It truly has been my pandemic panacea.
  • Eh Eh Ron
    Exhausted
    I’m done. First, Dre love ya. Second Zack why is it total negativity when it comes to Baker? It’s exhausting to hear ALL the time. ‘He’s average, he’ll never take you to a SB, bla bla bla.’ He probably is only average but Jesus can’t we talk some positive football for a change? I’ve watched Browns football long before they left and every year after they came back. This is the best football they have played in 20 years. They also haven’t had a QB this competent in those 20 years. Get off Bakers back and let him be average for awhile. God knows never in the history of football has an average QB turned into a reliable to great QB. Here’s a novel idea, talk about Chubb, Myles or some other great player we do have. Maybe even talk about the real coach we finally have. Last, we all know they haven’t beat any good teams. So what, a wins a win and they are winning games they surely would have lost in the past. Peace out, I’ll find something more positive to listen too.

  • Brody>Zac
    CONGRAT
    I finally figured out how to rate/review a podcast so congrat you get a 5-star
  • PeteinPainesville
    Love it!!
    No BS and how sportstalk should be. Best Cleveland sports talk you can get without fluff interviews or home team conservative takes.
  • Winslow Jones
    Outstanding!
    Zac and Dre cut through the BS and give refreshing and thoughtful insight in to CLE sports. CONGRATS - fellas!
  • jwrigh62
    Needs better audio
    One sounds like he is standing too far away from a speakerphone mic, and the other is dialing in using a bad cell connection. The content is good, but the delivery makes it very difficult to listen to, even if I crank my car radio up to full volume.
  • stephenf27
    What are they ranting about now
    I listen every week to hear what these guys are “get-off-my-lawn-ing” (definition: the act of a grumpy old man yelling at children that are on their lawn) about this week. They preach to avoid social media, especially during a game; waging the war against twitter, Instagram, and Facebook like Rambo when he asks for a sandwich. Cursing is no big deal, enjoy listening to two men who know how to do their job and do it well and don’t ask for anything in return to give you a glimpse into the access they are given.

    Fake Laughs
    The constant fake laughing by both Zac and Andre is nauseating. Look, if something is genuinely funny than laugh. But constantly fake laughing at their own takes is incredibly annoying. The fake laughs are constant and relentless
  • Bob Gles
    Good but
    Audio levels need to be better, zak is way low and Andre is so high you hear him swallow when he drinks something,, would give it 5 star for locals sports if they fix audio 🤷🏻‍♂️
  • DMoney805
    Makes you feel back at home
    Zac and Dre are staple personalities of Cleveland sports. They treat fans in interactions either in person or on Twitter with the upmost respect and have a true understanding of what fans have been through, which is echoed in their conversations. If you have moved away from Cleveland, listening to this podcast makes you feel back at home and more importantly, a part of a conversation with people who understand your love for the city and it’s sports.
  • Mayomeister
    No paywall!
    I already subscribe to the athletic so why would I pay double zac if you start doing an athletic browns podcast?
  • Mike from NEO
    Akron’s finest?
    2 fat kids from Akron talk about the glory days of St. V and Manchester middle school basketball. I think they both talk too much unless they don’t press the record button.
  • BucksFan03
    Annoying Hosts
    They talk down to everyone and try to make it seem like they know everything and all their listeners are uneducated and seeking life advice from these two clowns.
  • Luke Trissel
    These are your guys if you love northeast Ohio sports
    Andre and Zac offer listeners a sports broadcast full of wit and character. I grew up in Canton and now live out of state so it is refreshing to hear two local guys talk northeast Ohio sports with humor and detail. I really enjoy the way they keep it loose on the show and would definitely recommend it to anyone who has a passion for the Browns, Indians, and Cavs.
  • JoeCleveland1964
    Best Cleveland sports talk in town!
    If only the rest of sports talk radio was this insightful, entertaining and engaging. Love the guys’ perspective and their takes are intelligent and they actually listen to the other’s opinions. I do wish they would drop fewer f-bombs, but overall, this is a fantastic podcast!
  • Cbowen42798
    A Must for Fans in The Land
    If you are a sports lover in NEO, this is your podcast. Most, if not all are if a local nature, including high school and college sports. They cut through the media BS to keep it 100.
  • Matt in OH
    Thank You
    Long time listener of this pod. Just wanted to thank both of you guys for consistently putting out great content. I don’t know how you guys do it with all your other commitments but I really appreciate it and I always look forward to listening to your takes. PS - The recent Terry Pluto pod was fantastic. I’ve never heard him talk before and Wow!, what a wealth of Cleveland sports knowledge. I’d love to hear him as a regular guest of the show. Thanks & a Merry “White Claw” Christmas to you both

  • RLEIII
    Best Cleveland Sports Podcast
    Great overall coverage of Cleveland sports from two guys who know what they’re talking about. They (mercifully) stay above the fray of the typical Cleveland-sports-radio talking points. Living out of state, it’s hard to find good, accessible coverage like this, even if it means I get jealous and hungry when Zac talks about Swensons.
