    Great Blazers Podcast
    Casey does a great job of giving updates of what’s going on with the team. Really like hearing his insights. He’s also super approachable when you see him at games, etc.
  • Mathew1020
    One of the best
    Casey does a great job getting the interviewee to seem relaxed and thoughtful. Enjoy the format, and almost soothing style. I am a late arrival and looking forward to going back and hearing some of his early takes.

    Enjoy the pod but
    Casey has great insight into the team and gives us all the details in a very organized, efficient matter. My gripes are: 1) it seems a little robotic. Instead of just giving us ALL of the details, I wish Casey would share more of his own opinion sometimes, don’t just give us the deets but I want to know what you think about them 2) If we are listening to this podcast, we’re probably huge blazer fans and I’d guess half if not more have already listened to the clips of players, coach, GM talking to the media. Really don’t need to hear entire interviews on this pod I want to hear Casey share his opinion!! 3) cmon with the music bro haha

    Great POD!!!
    Love the briefcase, it’s very informational about the blazers and up to date blazers inside information in news and interviews, from one of the best trailblazers reporter in the game today. I thoroughly enjoy listening to Casey Holdahl. Keep up the great work.
  • mkledao
    best of the best
    best blazers podcast, no competition. thank you for your work casey. can’t wait to meet you someday. #ripcityontheyass
  • fdhzDz
    Solid
    Not sure about the R&B baby making music in the intro, but once it finally ends way too far in he’s got good content.
  • OvumWines
    Good short form
    I really appreciate the short format with lots of detail
  • Chris shanty
    could be better
    love the pod, but the initial music is too loud and goes on too long. i legitimately can’t hear casey over the theme music that is somehow still going in the background two minutes in?
  • gnvrcissism
    Awesome
    Casey is a trusted voice and this podcast is a quick way to stay on top of current topics.
  • NaNa77 718
    Dope 🔥🔥🔥
    I like hearing the in depth answers…hearing the guy’s opinions, etc. I like all the stats, interesting information all in one quick or should I say “brief” case, by Case…lol 👍
