I find myself laughing while running. Give the people more! The last 5 minutes are really needed to lighten up what is overall a 30 minute gut punch of the dirty side of college sports and the treatment of its people. Can’t wait til it’s more than one a week. It’s refreshing to listen to Mike and company’s fully unchained, unfiltered views and stories. Got them downloaded and alerted whenever they put up a podcast. When I was at the academy the state of Michigan sent more people to the academy than about 45 of the other states so I bet I’m not the only one who feels this way. Show is great! Valenti is 100% in his element with this podcast as a true sports guy that knows his stuff and can nerd out on it unabashedly without the worry of callers, being relevant to the Detroit Sports scene, etc. Does anyone know if program director Jimmy Powers still has a pulse? It lets the guys be themselves a bit more and is extremely entertaining. My drive home is about the same length of the show so it’s perfect. This is a great progression for Mike. You do a great job. This podcast compliments what Mike does on radio perfectly but is also great just as a standalone if you've never listned to 97.1 or don't live in the Detroit area. Then it became a great first podcast when they did a segment on the movie Roadhouse. I’d rather hear about the national stuff then same Lions drivel. Great podcast so far. It just seems so forced when they go to him — and his hot takes always just echo exactly what Mike said just beforehand. Just give me the goods. Mike has been and is one of the most refreshing takes in sports, and his content is usually must listen. And the team’s TV ratings over at Fox Sports Detroit are even worse. Love Mike but can you PLEASE control all the laughing that Roberto does on the Podcast. My brother and I broke the mold and graduated from army instead, but are still big MSU fans. Mike and his team are true professionals. As a guy that’s on the road more often than not I get to follow a lot of different cities and sports teams in general and listen to a lot of different sports broadcasters and media personalities. 22 likes.

I need to be able to get engrossed for 20 minutes and listen to an actual conversation before I need to hear about copper craft for the 1 millionth time. Roberto, Hatchet, Sully & of course Mike - keep up the GREAT WORK! Keep talking about classic rock to change it up from sports every once in a while. I found Mike on Detroit radio about 5 years ago and he is rarely wrong about anything. I wish sometimes the episodes were a bit longer, but hopefully the second episode a week comes soon. Great show as always. Reviews . Thus I look forward to always catching the 2-3 podcasts as I take the metro home from work each day. If you aren’t from Detroit, you need to hear this podcast and his radio broadcast (97.1). This podcast makes my pants steam. Best Sports Talk radio in Detroit so the transition to Podcast is a great addition for Valenti fans. Shockular said... ( original post) Twitter is a complete cesspool. Their laughs are contagious. Good interviews with well read and researched guests. “From the mind of Roberto Boschian...” Phenomenal pod. Hey though my Sister was at state with Mike so I can be fair just like the show is. The four of them work incredibly well together, I feel like they’re friends of mine that I never see I’ve been listening so long.

Also bring back worst franchises, This is awesome to listen to on my way to school, wish it was more than once a week. lol. Many times I go out on Lake St. Clair around 7:30 when the other boaters are coming in. This is by far the best, most entertaining podcast I’ve had the pleasure of listening to. Love it. The Lions tried to force the radio station’s hand. And this podcast is no difference. Instant subscribe for me. Podcast is great but it has to be at least 50min boys. He was always good with Terry, but on his radio show he's limited by our ridiculous listener base who don't like drawn-out discussions about horse racing or other topics that Mike loves but metro Detroit could care less about. Keep up the good work. So glad I found the podcast, keep it coming Mikey, and leave that old form behind!!! Valenti and his crew are the best on Detroit sports radio! A must listen!

The content and the chemistry in both Valenti podcasts is great. Also mike stop being such a hater on millennials we aren’t all like sully I grew up on classic rock! Shoots it straight and doesn’t apologize for his opinion. I have been waiting for a podcast that allows mike to go in depth on many different topics. you and the guys are doing an awesome show. They have incredible chemistry, are highly entertaining, and the world, not just metro Detroit should be able to enjoy it. We’re truly blessed to have such high-end talent here! Love this podcast.

It’s one of the few I listen to while at work. I’ll never stop supporting all of you in everything you do. No matter how much he pisses me off I still find my self listening to every podcast and every day from 2-6!! After listening to the radio show for years it’s about time the guys have a podcast. Keep it up! Great show!!! For years, the employees of WDFN-1130 implored management at Clear Channel to do the same and switch them to 106.7 but their pleas fell on deaf ears. Keep doing great work guys, thank you. Glad he has this podcast to show the world his wide range of sports knowledge. Most of these episodes have an ad every 8 to 9 minutes which is more often than on the radio. I’ve talked to Valenti & (Foster-before he retired) 2-3 times over the years & I’ve watched him transform his opinion standpoints from being completely biased to an exceptionally grand perspective on the landscape of sports. Detroit is as high as you will ever fly so knock up a local because it is the best you ever will do, loser! Has a great balance of local and national sports mixed in with some pop culture flavor. I'm loving my wednesdays when this show drops! Mike Valenti without rules is the best mike valenti the world could ask for. I’ve been an everyday afternoon drive listener to Valenti since the Sports Inferno days. The rest of the crew really shines as well! Been listening to Mike for going on 10 years now. Their Inside jokes carry on for weeks to months and they really connect with their audience. I love valenti on the radio but rarely get to listen anymore because of work. Sully and Mike together are hilarious. 97.1 is in serious trouble and if they think Chris Ilitch, Al Avila and Ron Gardenhire are going to bail them out of this mess they probably have another thing coming. The smooth comedic unfiltered, unbridled enthusiasm for sports and pop culture create a cocktail for the ears. Mike Valenti shows his immense knowledge and talent without a time limit and it’s incredible. Listen to the daily show, but this takes it to a new level with various topics and guests.

Really enjoy the behind the scenes, life stories and daily life recaps from everyone. His hatred for Jim Harbaugh and anything Michigan does comes through in every hour of his show. Back To Topics. Most weeks this podcast has no idea what to talk about, one week it was basically an ad for Netflix where the four of them talked about what was coming to Netflix. Sully, David, Roberto are also tremendous. I hope they continue this podcast and maybe do more episodes per week or extend the content. Fun pod. Mike Valenti, and Co, the only redeemable Detroit sports radio show on the air, offers a fun podcast that covers everything from the weekly sports news, to vacation/tailgate tips, to hilarious personal anecdotes.

Content has been solid on a mix of sports/real life, seem to get too far off subject sometimes. I’d rather listen to this on repeat rather than listen to the morning show. Only reason I don’t listen to 97.1 more. I admit it. It’s nice to hear Mike less frustrated because he can talk about things other than Detroit sports. Great podcast. I love the podcast format and it’s even better when it’s Valenti, ,Hatchet, Roberto, and Young Sullivan. Anyone who has followed the Detroit sports radio scene over the last 25 years can point to two factors as to why 97.1 became a juggernaut in this market and they have very little to do with on-air “talent.” It is no coincidence that the Arbitron success of WXYT coincided with the station’s move from the AM dial (1270) to FM back in 2007 after Howard Stern took his talents to Sirius satellite. Love the pod! -Nick S. in the Chi. He keeps it a buck with MSU and UofM. Doesn’t rely on gimmicks, he seems like a good old guy you’d like to have a beer with.

Listen to the radio show most days on the commute home, and I love that I can listen to these guys again not during the time restraints of the radio show. Mike was struggling to get a word in while Charles thought he was doing a monologue. If you are from Detroit, you already know all this. I’m sure caller volume has a ton to do with topics of the day for the daily 97.1 broadcast. J.J. in Ann Arbor, Been a fan of Valenti for years, great first ep can’t wait for the rest. I love all of you guys. Good to see this is different than the show. Mike has seemed checked out and the shows were getting shorter and shorter. His ability to know not a single thing about sports is a great compliment to everyone else’s wealth off knowledge. Listened to half the pod and then just marked it as complete because it felt tedious. I’d rather listen to Rieger on a loop in a dark padded room from Saskatchewan in February. Mike finally gets his chance to say what's on his mind outside the world of Detroit sports. The Jay Bilas interview took this pod to the next level for me. See ratings and read reviews for Always Aggravated with Mike Valenti on Podbay. It’s appreciated. Podcast is even better it is moral it’s funnier you get to learn about the guys more and it’s great. I love the chat format with David, Roberto & Sully but prefer it’s for the entire episode. The best thing is I feel like I’m apart of the conversations. Being able to listen to him without any radio restraint is refreshing. Love the extended, no interruption format. I also appreciate that they recognize the humanity in our athletes and talk about them like they are people as opposed to other talk shows who don’t look at sports from the player’s perspective. Keep up the great work! A guy in a Speilman Jersey , lions do rag and Lions “ jammy pants” is giving the refs double bird salute. Keep it going guys. I really hope you guys start doing more than 1 a week. Far too often however he is totally wrong about things in the sporting world yet comes off with an attitude like he couldn’t possibly be wrong.

Hatchetman is a hard-liner turned that way living his life in Detroit and raising a familily. In this podcast they are finally able to discuss a topic with the interuption of comercial breaks and assinine callers. Would love more episodes per week. I know it’s tough right now because of the virus but when sports comes back we need more ! Valenti enjoying remarkable ratings … there are far too many topics that appear to have been thought of ten minutes before recording (millennial words, YouTube videos, bad work stories, etc.). I forgot about the by the lake scene and it’s going to force me to DVR the movie and watch it again. P.S. Mike Valenti is by far the best sports radio host in America.
