    Cleveland radio in podcast form
    This podcast is ok. Jordan is quintessential arm chair psychologist trying to stir the pot without a evidence. Henry is a bit more grounded but often falls into cliches. It passes the time but there are better browns podcasts.
  • Splendidthunder
    Great podcast for Browns fan base
    Look forward to listening when I see a new podcast available. Love the passion and topic brought up on the show. Would recommend for any browns fan who wants to stay in the loop and lives, eats, and sleeps browns. @CowardIan
  • RickyoftheMidwest
    Great Podcast
    Love the podcast. Started listening around midway through last season and I’ve been hooked ever since. Definitely recommend to anyone that wants some pretty diverse Browns coverage. Draft coverage has been especially great. Listen all the time and will continue to! #GoBrowns @HollowAtlas
  • CMJO11
    Nice Pod
    Nice podcast.
  • ChrisManning
    A+
    Zirm rules, MKC episode is wonderful.
  • Abow111
    Great Browns Pod!
    Have adopted the Browns as my second team this year and have really enjoyed coming here for all the Browns storylines and analysis. Would love to keep hearing film breakdowns. Great work so far and great pod!!!
  • CoryCJS
    Great Listen
    Just started listening this month, but been very impressed with content. Perhaps it’s been so enjoyable because of the winning football... but always great to find quality browns content like this.
  • zak.7
    Great, thorough, fresh Browns pod
    Awesome podcast, even for a non-Browns fan. Love the rotating group of voices on the show. Been really impressed with the new host Henry, brings a fresh perspective especially as a younger fan. Great in-game analysis and not afraid to shy away from criticism of the team. Really is a must listen for anyone who wants to hear perspectives from real Browns fans that have seen it all.
  • zackpy
    Great Browns Pod
    Perfect Browns podcast! I always look forward to the multiple episode drops in the week. Great variety in content from all the hosts including some great perspective on the different aspects of the game. Keep up the great work guys, always a highlight of my week!
  • ellieww
    Awesome Browns Pod
    Really insightful staff, spot on takes
  • brownswin
    Spot on
    Great hitting facts and some different insight.
  • Browns Nation
    Engaging show and good insights
    If you’re a Browns fan that can’t get enough Browns talk, this show is the one for you. Henry brings the energy and the insights. Love listening to this each week.
  • comish2020
    Great dog pound takes
    I love to listen after every game, especially when the browns win. I like the wide selection of hosts, it definitely helps keep the takes fresh.
  • dawkins216
    Great Browns pod
    The history and thoughtfulness brought helps put into perspective the nature of this season and how special it feels to be a browns fan today
  • rdo837
    Great year for a Browns pod
    Great year to be a Browns fan and great pod to listen to!
  • Dible1
    Not the best
    I listen to it when I have already listened to my others browns pods for the day. It’s so hard to listen to Zirm talk when I know how big of a liberal that dude is, especially in twitter.
  • bownancy
    Great update - refreshing take!!!
    I am enjoying listening to the new guy Henry. Easy to understand, on the mark with his takes and interesting perspective.
  • minnow2712
    Great new host
    Henry has really stepped up on this pod. He’s doing a great job and I’ll be a listener as long as he’s here!
  • baked216
    Great!
    Love listening to these guys at work. This new guy is saying some pretty real things. Overall the podcast is super relatable to a lifelong Browns fan. I appreciate the content.
  • hettinger921
    Tag Team
    Love Zirms interviews and the other hosts are fun
  • Bardstown King
    Bad
    Zirm is a Dale and a lib. Listen to Jeremy in Akron instead. He actually played the game.
  • coreysmom
    Hilarious!!
    Theae guys are great. Very funny and great content. For every Browns fan!
  • ttyhvvgjn
    Return of the Zirm
    Thank god! Finally talking football again!
  • heynowheyyyyynow99
    breath of fresh air!
    this show is very "of the people", with no promises to deliver on the x's and o's... rather they bring a fans perspective with humor and self awareness that is sorely missing on other shows.
  • rochic212
    Terrible
    This used to be a go to podcast with Zirn but now it’s just absolutely terrible. I’ve tried to hang in there and was hopeful it would get better, but nope. They talk about a bunch of nothing. Don’t waste your time. And now we have a “DOCTOR” from Chicago (which has a stay at home) flying home to Cleveland for Mother’s Day during this crisis.
  • HollywoodBucks2799
    Refreshingly Different & Brutally Honest Browns Takes
    These guys are great when providing unique, different, brutality honest and hilarious takes on the latest Browns news. Highly encourage adding them to your Browns list of podcasts especially if you’re tired of the local Cleveland media’s negative takes and lack of perspective.
  • C town Jer
    Emergency coach 2020!
    Love the show, loved the episode, loved your take and agree that everyone should just relax about the hire. Everyone just enjoy the ride and be satisfied that the browns can’t embarrass themselves in January! Also, my daughter is waiting for you to read this (so shout out to Maddie!). Go browns! Jeremy from Philly
  • Jlg1520
    Love it!
    Really entertaining! Peter and Gates really know their stuff. I look forward to hearing their take on all things Browns
  • Savannah J. Carte
    Funny and cathartic
    They get it. This podcast should be prescribed to all Browns fans.
  • buffangus12
    Entertaining and relatable
    Peter, you do a good job conveying my misery of the Browns and are pretty funny. I just wish you’d have more consistent episode release schedule.
  • kaay bee dub
    I’ll settle
    I’ll settle for this podcast while I wait for my favorites to load. Meredith is garbage.
  • BruceCofman
    I Like Swears
    He said a swear and it made me happy.
  • Buxzbarr
    Jordan Z please return
    Usually great but the guy and gal filling in for you are awful. She doesn’t know anything.
  • nologo76
    Good show
    I like the show but I heard several inaccuracies such as Seibert batted a thousand. He’s been great but he missed his first extra point. I know that’s a minor detail but I noticed several just in this episode. I’m just curious as to whether you’re crew really understands coverages and play design or are you guys just fans?
  • gforce41
    Content is fine, language is can be better
    I understand the frustration after the loss, but the expletives in the recent episodes really take away from the substance of the discussion.
  • Moses216
    Good job peter
    Hey peter it’s your brother. Great job. Also the Browns needs to use RPOs and the quick passing game more. Long TD to OBJ vs the Jets was a zone right to Chubb and baker pulled the ball hit OBJ on a slant. OBJ is maybe the greatest slant runner in history and Bakers QBR was in the 90s last year throwing slants.
  • Mkgtrey
    Love the tone...
    ...appreciate the cynical nature that truly represents what being a Browns fan feels like.
  • Schmudball
    Delighted
    If Zirm was our Tim Couch, then Peter is our Kelly Holcomb. And as it was then, our lives would all be improved with a better offensive line.
  • clesportsfan24
    Horrible
    Please bring Jordan back
  • Jraj95
    Layers of Sadness
    Easily my favorite Browns podcast for a few months, without Thomahawk and listening to CBD always, this and BFB are my two absolute favs, Zirm will be missed but I can’t wait to see his social media talent with the NFL. Best of luck and thanks for the ride!!
  • TheRefMan
    Horrible Take
    Wanting to apply a lame college gimmick, turnover chain, to a possible Super Bowl contender, an professional team steeped in past honor, pride, an history... Loss for words... Lost all credibility in my eyes. Dozens of Browns Podcast, I won’t waste my time with this one...
  • allhailwesttexas
    Not bad
    Zirm is fun to listen to, though sometimes his jokes and tangents are really awkward and not funny. Good content, excited to see how it goes during the actual season. Would be better if there was a permanent cohost to bounce off of.
  • ElOso420
    Pretty bad
    I’ll listen because I am so desperate for more browns talk, but the host is very cringey. He tries to make jokes and they always fail, and his takes often show his lack of real football knowledge. On the bright side, he does his homework and he talks about the Browns. Update: the absolutely cringeworthy jokes got too be too much, I had to stop listening.
  • JPLcleveland
    I guess this is the future
    Love the passion and the research and knowledge, but hate the cringe-worthy virtue signaling. Ironic reading Zirm’s piece about the old Dawg Pound, which he never would have survived. Sometimes I can almost imagine the avocado toast sitting next to the microphone. Tolerable, occasionally very good podcast for someone who moved out of the Cleveland media market but is starving for Browns news and commentary.
  • jdshro
    Good pod
    Good browns pod from a fans perspective that covers about everything concerning the team.
  • Spencer NYC
    Excellent show
    Jordan's good, not yet Jake Burns good, but he's getting there.
  • SisGender WhiteMale
    Why this is not a good show
    I came for Sports analysis and what I received was political analysis. Zerm isn’t qualified, apparently, to do either. Go subscribe to and rate five stars the Tomahawk Podcast. Zerm, go Hawk yourself.
  • jr93!!
    Six
    A great listen if you are a browns fan
  • Tade217
    Great podcast and a great guy
    If you’re a browns fan this should definitely be in your podcast library.
  • attilaLSG
    Single best Browns pod available
    Jordan Zirm is funny, relatable and entertaining. This podcast is a joy to listen to and he is an underrated sports media personality, possibly the best Browns one. His twitter game is fire as well follow @clevezirm
