Jared's pod is the best of all the UConn content because he gets a source on and then asks them Qs and lets them talk.  Most often Alex but sometimes an opposing coach, beat writer, etc.  This is essentially journalism and it's very useful for informing an audience who can then, in theory, make up their own opinions on x or y.

Compare that to punditry, which is what just about all the other uconn pods do.  There are some good ones and I listen to many of them often.  But we shouldn't kid ourselves and think that the product is materially different than any of us sitting at a bar top and talking *.  It's just opinions, sometimes informed or colored with claim of a source or inside knowledge.  It seems like this type of punditry has crowded out most of our news sources, maybe because "hot takes" can generate reactions and clicks.

THANK YOU JARED for presenting information to us through sources and letting us make up our own minds.
