Lance Briggs and Alex Brown are great! The other guys… no thanks

Imagine Hoge and Jahns without Jahns 5 days a week. Current and former Bears players join every so often. Caveat is you have 2 rambling meatballs named Carm and Braggs. Would be 10/5 stars if All City would cut bait.

Stop reading vape ads my guy

Love Hoge! Love Braggs! Love Nicholas!!

Show is no good. Listen to Locked On Packers or Pack a Day podcast instead

Great podcast for our Chicago bears.

You boys need to paint your nails for that fruity quarterback of yours. 🤡 🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣 Btw, you have NO defense or offensive line. It’s a shame you never acknowledge those absurd weaknesses. And your head coach is a goober. We still OWN YOU. ✌️

Love the podcast and I understand getting the bag but having a nicotine company and some of your other sponsors are questionable and idk, but I don’t want that to represent my Bears🐻

Love the hypotheticals and different takes. Hilarious and insightful. Highly recommended

This show is likable. Solid Bears banter. But for all their access, there is never real insider insight here. Never a ‘scoop’ or anything that feels sourced from the beat or inside the team. This show sounds like fans who use Twitter to get their news - that’s fine but ultimately doesn’t add a ton. They need their local Bears Schefty or Rapoport.

Wayyyy to many ads, adam has a huge ego and is kinda hard to like as a host/cohost.. braggs is the man!!!

I subscribed with high hopes of a content driven show that would go in depth on the Bears. Instead I get a sophomoric blend of outlandish takes, lazy use of language (crude language always reflects lack of imagination), and silly banter mixed in with occasional nods to the content I was looking/hoping for. Disappointing

Too many hypothetical conversations that will never happen. Definitely getting bored with this show!

I subscribed to this podcast from the first show and was excited to have a professional dedicated bears podcast. Early on it was promising and worth listening to. Have listened to every episode up to this weeks free agent shows and I can’t continue to follow the show. Carmen and braggs make outrageous comments and there is a ton of just nonsense going on that I skip through just to get to 1 minute of good content. I’ll stick to Hoge and Jahns and hope for something else to come along that serves the bears fans better.

Mark Carman takes this show down not 1 but 2 pegs. His off the wall reactions and outlandish hot takes make you question any credibility. This pod has a lot of potential, but people like Carm hold it back… Hoge and Jahns is far superior

Not devoid of worthwhile insight by any stretch, but the overwhelming amount of superficial banter can be insufferable. If they could just reign it in I’d be more inclined to tune in more often.

I love you Braggs. Also Carm, Hoge, Herb, Nick, Lawrence, and Wooton. Great show y’all.

In a sea of podcasts that are all the same - buncha dudes sitting around arguing the same points over and over, CHGO Bears is a cut far above. Adam, Carm, Braggs, and friends (including Cole Kmet, Corey Wootton, and Brian Baldinger!) break down Bears football in a way that is entertaining, but also honest and fair. Much more “having beers in the backyard with some buddies who actually know football” than “sitting at a bar while the dude next to you spouts nonsense.” The whole gang is accessible, and truly interactive with fellow Bears fans, and it’s been a real breath of fresh air. Honestly, all the CHGO podcasts are great, but the Bears and Kevin’s Chicago Marathon training podcast are my favorite. Best thing I did this year as a sports fan was listen more, and joint the Diehards group to connect and chat with other awesome Bears fans. Highly, highly recommended. BEAR DOWN!

CHGO has the best combination of in-depth and entertaining Chicago Bears discussion every weekday along with pre and post-game podcasts on game days and even emergency podcasts in case of urgent breaking news. The hosts are passionate Bears fans as well as credentialed professional journalists with access to press conferences, practice sessions, training camp and both home and road games. They are joined by weekly guests such as national media expert Brian Baldinger and Bears star tight end Cole Kmet. Highly recommended for Bears fans.

CHGO Bears is an amazing crew who provide a lot of different insight on the team while keeping the show fun. The entire team shares a ton of knowledge and certainly the best podcast around!

Great show and love Hoge and the gang but please, Braggs needs to shut up sometimes. It’s not Twitter and he acts like he knows all.

You forgot to upload Tuesday episode. I’m sad.

I can’t listen to Braggs. Seriously. Try Hoge and Jahns podcast for the version of this podcast without the unnecessary sidekicks and non-bears talk.

Get rid of Carm and Braggs . No depth to the commentary and more changeable than the tides. Every comment you will have heard elsewhere and better defended by some guy at then end of the bar. Why do these two get so much air time?

Hoge and Jahns is the superior podcast. This show has potential but you have to be patient enough to wade through lengthy sidebars drowning out the football content.

I love the attitude of these guys. My favorite episodes are the ones where they interview a podcaster of the upcoming team. Great guys! — New review on 9/26/23- this podcast was much better when it was just the chicago audible podcast. Braggs yells and it’s terrible on the ears. A lot of the podcasts are only like 60% bears content which is annoying. I still tune in on Fridays for the preview shows that is just will and nick. They are the two best on the show.

Seriously, wanting Cole Kmet to swear during a football game? Carman and his “ High School “ humor is horrible. Great spot with Cole, but please schedule on Carman’s day off. Thanks!

Get rid of Carmen and braggs and this show would be great

Half the show is mindless (non-football related) banter or lazy takes. Obvious that the group is tasked with meeting a time requirement rather than trying to provide meaningful insight. When the show was The Chicago Audible it was at least a Bears pod. Disappointing, especially considering the resources/network they have. It’s clear there isn’t much critical thinking or appreciation of the game and story that is unfolding and changes every week. The Athletic, NBC, Chicago Bears official pod, and even The Chicago Sun-Times are far superior to name few - and there are many others. Don’t waste your time unless you’re more interested in their takes on thanksgiving food, clothing preferences, rating on each other’s ability to read ads, etc. There are too many legitimate bears stories - and sides to each -unfolding to waste your time on this one.

Thankfully the best writer on the beat is on the show. I don’t know if there’s anyone more worthless in Chicago media than Braggs. At least Carm is funny.

20 mins of ads every episode, being obnoxious is a badge of honor for some hosts, and why are other podcasts on the feed? This podcast is just becoming a reflection of the bears. You guys had to fire someone of clout too. I can only handle one dumpster fire at a time.

Mark Carmen ruin the show for me

Awesome Bears coverage

Appreciate all you guys do. Hoping to listen to a lot more of these post victory pods… 🐻⬇️

Excellent show

As a Lions fan who went to high school in suburban Chicago, this podcast is absolute gold. I can’t wait for the Bears’ season to continue imploding and ride with CHGO the entire time. At this rate, I’ll be throwing high dollar super chats like the Duke! Keep up the great work!

Too many Ad reads.

There’s no better Bears podcast out there. In depth analysis and not afraid to ask the hard questions. Get some laughs along the way. Can’t miss for all Bears fans

You come on after games, day of. After a game, it’s cool to have a podcast ready right off the game. Analysis of the game, with the emotion of having it just have happened. With this, a great podcast could really take off because people hungry for Bears content will be looking for good stuff after a win. What you need: structure to your segments, not just everyone talking at once. Because it comes out quickly, you need fewer people and more structured segments so that Q&A isn’t just audible chaos of everyone responding at once. Think PTI, or Around the Horn or Pat McAfee. I don’t know who any of the personalities are on this show, and it seemed like a lot of people taking over each other. Bring in others to interview segments, not just the whole show. Decide who the best interviews are. Also - decide who the host is. With the above, the right structure and fewer people responsible for speaking at once - the insights are good, the guys still love the Bears and that shows. Maybe this isn’t a podcast-first medium, in which case ignore me. Also - get away from the inside jokes unless you want to let the audience in.

I love the great insight and depth of analysis by everyone involved. Still not sure if I am on Team Crampa or Team Brags. Either way they are both are great.

Been a loyal diehard since beginning. Love the daily shows especially during training camp. My only complaint is Carmen needs to tone down his act. I have noticed an improvement lately. Keep up good work

Carms takes are unbearable (pun intended). Way better show this week since he is not there. Hoge is a beast, love when they bring wooten on. Nic is starting to stand out but Carm has really tanked the show since he has been more prominent. Seems like a nice guy but also his takes are like ones where the a guys girlfriend who doesn’t know sports chimes into a conversation and everyone just looks at her and thinks “what?”. He is a pretty good interviewer and facilitator but should stick to strictly that.

He’s making it unlistenable. I took a long break because of him, came back and nothings changed. Not sure how you can keep a voice like this on for so long Coming back to reiterate this point— someone needs to tell Mark Carman that brevity is the soul of wit. I need a steak dinner to go with his word salad. Seriously, can someone please put him on a timer?

Carm is unbearable to listen to. He offers nothing to the conversation except getting them off topic. They use ….but…. As space filler and it drives me nuts. I do like some of the content and Adam Hoge obviously knows what he is doing. It’s sad that I look at who’s on the podcast before I play it. Most times, it’s Carm and I won’t listen.

This show has become very difficult to listen to. Adam Hoge is outstanding. Will DeWitt, while still finding his way, is talented and often brings up thought-provoking questions & comments. His longtime friend & podcast partner, Nicholas Moreano, seems like a great guy and he does a good job as a daily beat reporter. But he rarely offers any original ideas. Just seems to regurgitate the info he’s picked up from other podcasts or print articles. And his constant malapropisms make it difficult to take him seriously. But the one who makes the show nearly unlistenable is Mark Carman. He apparently thinks it’s called the Mark Carman Show. He never stops talking about himself or his life and never adds any interesting content. When he is on, the show can not get any momentum because he derails any legitimate discussion with his nonsense. Chicago deserves better. Are there no other ex-Bears they can add? What about Patrick Mannelly or Big Cat Williams or a dozen others? Olin Kreutz is half a whack job but he kept the show on track and added great content. It’s been over a year now, Kevin Kaduk. Time to step this show up to the next level.

I used to listen to Nick and Will on their old podcast pretty regularly because they were always focused on the bears and not boring personal stories but ever since they joined this team I have been very disappointed. I get that it is the middle of the offseason but just to use the latest podcast as an example, the guys didn't even talk about bears content until minute 23. I will check back in when the season starts and I just hope they find some actual ideas to generate content rather then personal stories my grandpa would say at the dinner table for a 1/3 of the podcast it is just so boring.

Carman is a great driver and facilitator and makes the podcast fun, even when the Bears are terrible. A lot of information in what feels like a casual conversation among friends.

This is a daily podcast discussing all aspects of the Chicago Bears, and also frequently strays into the personal experiences and lives of the hosts. The production quality is high especially as compared to many other Bears podcasts. The show is very dependent on the hosts. On any given show there will be two or three. Adam Hoge is an experienced reporter and very solid. Mark Carman is also experienced and the best of the bunch at giving balanced realistic views of Bears issues. Nick Moreano and Will Dewitt are likeable but much less experienced and usually just root for the Bears without much insight. Greg Braggs is a self described meatball fan and functions as kind of comic relief. Whatever you get from a given show will rely on who the hosts are that day. Once you find out who is there that day you can decide if it’s worth listening to that particular show.

Tell Carm 🤔 STOP 🛑 VOTING FOR DEMOCRATS !!!

Lately they have been getting very political towards the left and just openly insulting probably half of their listeners. It’s getting hard to listen to during parts.
