I grew up reading Matt’s work and have always loved his work. I’ve been listening to this podcast for years now and find the positivity so much more refreshing than other sports teams or even different markets. I loved Matt and Laura’s chemistry and thought she was just incredible. It was a huge bummer when she left, and to be honest, was very disappointed. However, Jennifer has been really great. I love her insight as a reporter, as well. Matt and Jennifer have a nice chemistry and good knowledge of the ins and outs of the 49ers as well as the NFL.

Matt miaco is not funny or entertaining at all constantly puts Jennifer down . This shows painful to listen to . Honestly . Bring Greg papa on full time please . The last hosts had better chemistry with Matt . I can’t stand how blatantly misogynistic Matt low key comes off … this show is hardly entertaining or fun. I only listen because maico is taped in . They have great interview …… guests . Not that they ever bring anything interesting to the table their bad interviewing skills . Jinnifers laughs at Maicos bad jokes just makes me cringe this is my last episode . Final straw . Brian peacock should have maicos job the dudes insanely talented and deserves jobs like this . Same with Lombardi. They just mentioned bringing back Devin Dre Campbell… come on . Seriously ????? I don’t hate maicos draft darling tho I have no idea after seeing a season of no good recieving weapons for Brock that tertoria McMillan isn’t in the radar … Maico needs to just write articles please bring anyone in to replace him . Thanks . Please.

This one of my favorite podcasts and it’s helps me not rely on espn all the time

Why is everyone so convinced that Saleh will fix all of our defensive issues? Did we win a Super Bowl with him? Do we have the same players on defensive? Are the players the same age? How many times are we going to run it back? How many revenge seasons are we going to have? Doing the same thing over and over and expecting different results, that’s insanity. This team won’t win a Super Bowl until Kyle Shanahan changes, owns his mistakes, and takes advice from someone outside of his circle.

This podcast is great. They explain their thoughts clearly and vibrantly. The only thing to change is to host people every other episode or something. Try to shoot for the stars a little more. 💫 Great pod overall.

Even if you don’t like someone who comes on the Pod, why the heck would you say it where hey might read it. Seems like a sketchy move to me. Like I said, even if you don’t like them, why do you need to spew that negative energy around and spoil a host for everybody else. Please be nice, and Matt, you do a great job. Tell Greg Papa and Carlos they do well too.

I started listening to this podcast in 2022. I've always liked Matt and he has fun chemistry with Jennifer Lee Chan. That said, their coverage during what has been a difficult 49ers season has been lacking. They rarely levy any serious criticism against the front office, coaching staff or players. They try to spin everything in a positive light and are constantly acting like apologists for poor player performance and behavior. it's starting to become unlistenable… For an "insider" podcast they never break any news or revelatory information. For example with the latest scandal around De'Vondre Campbell they had absolutely no inkling of the attitude towards him that had clearly been festering with his teammates in the clubhouse throughout the season. In the latest episode, they spent a great deal of time talking up Deebo Samuel and praising him for stand up behavior with the media after after a particularly terrible game against LA. But they never brought up his confrontation with teammates on the sideline or ducking out of postgame press conferences earlier in the year after poor performances. At worst they say he was "not performing well recently" rather than calling it like it is that the player has been performing poorly literally the entire season. Really this is starting to feel like a PR fluff piece where the hosts bend over backwards to just "be nice" to everybody rather than keeping it real, objective, and providing actual in-depth insider coverage.

You two are outstanding. And call it the way you see it! I love that you always refer to them as “ the 49ers”. To me, that is how true fans and writers have been referring to them for 75 years. Keep Greg Papa away from your podcast. It’s not even close, how much he is the absolute worst broadcaster in the history of Bay Area sports. There has never been a person more fascinated with his own voice. Please please please.

This is a one way ticket to a Niners fans heaven. GOOOOOO NINERS!!!

The more I hear from this buffoon, the more I roll my eyes. Matt M. needs to quit; I have no idea how Jennifer can stand him. She’s the only one saving the podcast with her genuine charisma and knowledgeable commentary.

He is insufferable, worst takes and questions, constantly just restates the obvious! Please please please keep him relegated to the too many shows he is on already!

Love all that Matt and Jennifer brings to the Faithful each week but I do have a few suggestions. Can you please fix Jennifer’s microphone it either sounds like she’s in the next room or her speech keeps breaking up. Can you do more segments of opponents podcast to hear what they are saying like in the 9/25 podcast. Otherwise, keep up the great work!!

Listened to 3 different niner podcast this morning. And nothing compares to your honesty & optimism. Always thorough & willing to give insight as to why certain situations present themselves. Y’all never put down our niner players and it’s refreshing!

My favorite podcast for 49ers football. Matt and Jennifer have great access to coaches, players, and provide detailed updates on the team. They have informative interviews and provide historical context with the team. The one podcast I won’t miss! Go Niners!

Give a follow to get the best information on the Niners. Matt and Jennifer are informative and insightful. They have both covered the team for years and you can tell they have a lot of respect from the players.

This is a great 49ers podcast for fans, lot’s of excellent information good inside reporting it’s not cynical, it’s definitely for 49er fans, absolutely worth a listen. Matt’s the Dean of the beat reporters. He knows this team well and it’s great to hear his insight and insider info. Jen is awesome as well and brings a lot of great insight. Together they make an excellent team. Top 49er Podcast no question about it.

Jennifer is just not good, I’m sorry but she seems like she tries way to hard to fit in with the top like Matt but to me it comes off as a little self centered and know it all ISH soon as she is gone your get 5 stars but I’m sure instead of listening to the fans you will decide to stay PC lol that’s ok I have the unfollow button

They never criticize the team. I have been a 49ers fan since 1983, but even I know they are not perfect. For example, they suggest the offensive line is “pretty good” even though they have one of the worst pressure rates outside of Trent Williams. Then, they suggest that because of the offensive system the 49ers run, the OL doesn’t have to be very good therefore that is why the team doesn’t invest in it. Which is it, they are “pretty good”? If they are pretty good why even make the argument they don’t have to be good?

If you are interested in all sunshine all the time…this is the podcast for you. You will love it. However, if you are like me, and want the real story with critical analysis…you will quit listening like I have. Matt was a sports reporter at one time, but at some point, he lost the ability or desire to criticize the Niners. There are too many good content creators out there who will actually criticize the Niners and that is who I choose to listen to.

Just good, hard work from two entertaining and informed journalists.

I love this podcast because these two actually know stuff and talk to people on the inside. The other 49ers podcasts get their information about the team from Matt and Jennifer.

Love these two! The insight and candor is fantastic. Also I feel like they really know these players and bring a relatable dialog to the podcast. In the end let us all remember they are all humans like us with feelings, families and a desire to love. Keep It up!!

Go 49ers!

Matt suggesting Colton is a starting tackle is terrible. Just lack of real football knowledge. Blamed burford but doesn’t mention how bad Colton and Brendel are. To even suggest that tells me the niners tell I’m what to say. Colton is not a tackle because kittle stays in and blocks all game with him.

I love Matt and JLC and their amazing insight. A must listen every week!!

Great podcast! Listen regularly. Only reason I didn’t give it 5 ⭐️ is because Matt’s man-splaining and interrupting Jennifer can be a little annoying. Thanks!

overall i like the pod and listen regularly. but maiocco often comes off as condescending to jennifer. hard to listen to. she’s an intelligent, reporter and he often needs her to laugh at his silly jokes and at times discounts what she says. would be happy to see jennifer get her own show and get out of his shadow. he seems to need her to listen to his opinions.

Awesome podcast!! Very informative and Jennifer Lee Chan is really great!!!

I genuinely enjoy listening to this pretty much anytime. JLC and MM bring authenticity and occasional brutal honesty (Carlos 😂). The insights into players and coaches are fantastic. MM's broad knowledge of the 49ers and NFL history, peppered with the occasional dad joke, adds a unique touch. I especially appreciate hearing about the food experiences during travels in hostile territory or local Bay Area/Silicon Valley eateries. Looking forward to more of that, JLC!

Or at least that’s what their record says. Their 10-1 entering this matchup.” Thanks Matt. And Sam Darnold is the best thrower of the football ever for the 49ers….hmmmm…..over Joe Montana, Steve Young, Jeff Garcia, Brock Purdy. What are we doing here. Jennifer is awesome!

I can’t say enough about this podcast. It’s my absolute favorite podcast! Matt and Jennifer are incredibly knowledgeable and their humor while being woven into crazy insight is second to none. I make this a must listen the moment it drops. As a displaced Niner fan living in Cleveland, I love feeling closer to the team with their in-depth and witty conversations. Keep up the great work, bad dad jokes and go Niners! Updated - their interviews are the best. You really get to learn about the players outside of football. Great job gang !!

Little to no insight

As an east coast niners fan, 49ers talk gives me the local in-depth coverage I miss out on. I love how JLC and Matt interact and talk about some lesser known stories and provide balanced takes. This is the first podcast I go to after any niners game and during the week. Keep up the great work!

Thoroughly enjoy the podcast. The ol sage Maiocco is a wealth of knowledge. He’s been going deep on the Niners since Big Ol Tires were just tiny itty bitty tires. Keep it up Matt. Jennifer brings some knowledge and chemistry to the show. Salute.

Matt and Jennifer bring the information and the humor multiple times a week, and are on the fastest podcasts to get posted after game. Go Matt and Jennifer and GO NINERS!!!

Best niner podcast!

A must listen if you are a 49 er fan. Excellent insights from both Matt and Jennifer; really get the players perspectives as well as shanahan/ lynch in balanced way.

Matt and Jennifer do an outstanding job following the 49ers. It’s a must listen to podcast twice a week.

I am always excited when I check my podcast app and see that a new episode of 49ers talk has dropped. I am a lifelong fan of the 49ers in WV, so nothing local here covers my team. This show always has me covered with the latest news and analysis. Nothing but love for Matt & Jennifer.

I began listening to 49ers talk a little over a year ago, and this show really provides fair analysis that makes you feel like you are a part of a fun football conversation. There are a lot of overreactions online in this day and age so this podcast is a breath of fresh air. Keep up the great work!

I had a dream that I was going to a 49ers game at Levi’s Stadium. As I got closer to the gate I was suddenly on the phone with Matt Maiocco who told me to meet Jennifer Lee Chan at a specific location. I did, and she let me in through the press entrance (does this exist?) and immediately Brock Purdy walked right past me. I don’t know what this all means except that this podcast is so good I dream about it! Seriously, I’ve been listening for two years now and the knowledge I get from Matt and Jennifer makes being a fan of this team even more fun. Thanks!

Lots of insight & humor. Easy listen until Carlos Ramirez is on. Less of him is a better podcast.

I listen to a lot of 49er podcasts, but Matt and Jennifer are my favorite hosts. Matt’s decades-long coverage of the Niners adds context to his observations, and Jennifer’s access to the players for interviews provides insight into the human interest aspect of each player. They routinely bring in top-notch guests, including John Lynch, Kyle Shanahan, fellow journalists, and, of course, players. They are extremely knowledgeable about the team and its history. This show is for fans who want to know more about their beloved team without sensory overload. Even the ads are palatably calm and relatively infrequent. This program is a refreshing break from all the fan bros who scream-cast from their man caves.

Big fan of Matt and loving the chemistry with Jennifer. Great show for a deep dive on the team I love.

Ad volume for a Toyota ad today almost knocked me off a treadmill at the gym. Keep the volume reasonable

Very informative podcast but I would like it so much more if Matt wasn’t constantly interrupting and man-splaining Jennifer.

My mom told me I wasn’t aloud to watch YouTube anymore so I decided that I would watch podcasts it took me a while to get a good podcast but as soon as I saw this one I loved it I’ve been watching it for like a month and already now this podcast is AMAZING!

I have truly enjoyed listening to this podcast through the years. Whether walking my dog, working out, traveling, or just driving in my car, I appreciate getting up to date 49ers’ information (and an occasional Dad joke) from Matt and Jennifer Lee Chan. (I love the funny banter too!!). Thanks for keeping this fan from Maine in the loop for the past few years!! Go Niners :)

I have been listening to Matt’s 49ers content for many years. Give him a listen for some great 49ers talk, with the occasional sprinkling of dad jokes.

Been listening to Matt Maiocco since I was a kid and there is nobody better. Always recommend listening in on whatever he is on. Bay Area has been lucky to have him!
