    My favorite Commanders podcast
    Love the combination of sports acumen, passion for Washington football, and joking around that JP and Mitch do! Listen religiously :)
  • Andrewwwwwwwwwwwwww
    Used to be my go to for post games…
    I’ve been a very long time listener of this podcast, going back all the way to when Rich Tandler was on it. I will say that ever since Pete left, it seems that all JP and Mitch do is yell and most of the time it’s over each other. It almost seems like they each drink about a pot of coffee and then record a podcast. It has almost become unlistenable. They both need to chill a little and let each other talk. I love JP’s radio show but the podcast is no longer as good as it was. Guys! Chill a little.

    JP, let Mitch talk
    JP, you gotta let Mitch talk. I enjoy your opinions but I also enjoy what Mitch has to say. Please work on that

    Nickname
    Great show. Latest episode talked about finding a nickname that might stick for the Commanders. How about the “Brass”?
  • TCfromDC
    Always look forward to the podcast
    JP and Tisch provide a great review of every game. It’s clean and concise to catch you up from the game. If you have 20-30 mins subscribe to the podcast.

    Great
    Like the podcast format, not a tv show recorded as a podcast……Please

    Unlistenable Episode
    Sorry, JP and Mitch. I’ve been listening to Beltway Football for a couple of years, as it’s one of the few podcasts that covers Skins news on a timely basis. I’ve always been frustrated by 1) the audio quality (please stop recording on your phones and invest in some decent f’ing mics and a mixer), and 2) the seeming inability of the two hosts to allow one another to finish a sentence. Tonight’s “show” was one of the worst yet- I couldn’t even finish it. If I’d wanted to hear two drunk friends yell over each other, I would have stayed at the bar. C’mon guys, PLEASE get your act together.
  • pktjay
    First listen every time
    Been a listener since the beginning as Tandler had been a friend on a redskins email list called webskins. Great show that always makes me smile and feel like I’m just in the room talking football with friends. Always my first listen and keeps me informed from St Louis. Thanks!
  • jhash123
    Great show, terrible audio levels
    I am a longtime listener and huge fan of the show. Unfortunately, as much as I like the show, its frequently unlistenable because the audio quality is so poor and the audio levels are even worse. You will frequently hear JP at one and Mitch at another volume so that if you turn up the volume to hear what JP saying by the time Mitch speaks, he’s yelling at you and vice versa, sometimes you can barely hear what they’re saying at all for large chunks of time.

    Quan interview
    Love the Quan interview.
  • sometimefan
    Good show, sound is meh
    JP’s sound quality is often poor and muffled, other than that it’s a great pod for Skins fans
  • sza02
    Good show
    Love the show. Only knock is seems like ever since Covid they are too comfortable doing this through zoom and the sound quality suffers tremendously.
  • Viley tawiley
    Great Show and Banter
    I’ve been listening for years and appreciate JP’s attempts at calling the team the new names. He occasionally calls our team the skins accidentally and it feels like I’m talking to my friends before Covid. I miss those times. RIP Tandler and HTTR.
  • DAG7!
    Great show!
    JP audio quality of recent has been very bad and frustrating. It’s important to ensure good quality when possible.
  • hughstonkirby
    Can’t hear JP
    I have loved this podcast and listened for almost 7 years. I feel like the audio has gotten MUCH worse recently. I can always hear Mitch but sometimes I can only catch every other word JP says
  • SpeaksinGermany
    Need Better Audio!
    Love the show but can Barry listen. Y'all need Keim to teach you how to put out a professional podcast. Again, LOVE what you say just can Batey hear it most times.

    Funny and Passionate Sports Commentary
    JP and The Big Man can always be counted on to provide humorous and passionate commentary of the DC sports scene.
  • aye oh.
    #2 on my go to list (Sheehan is #1)
    Good content. Entertaining. Snarky puppy talk is hilarious and Pete is pretty funny (although sometimes pathetic).
  • kaschweb5
    Entertaining show
    Always a great show and I love that the pod covers post game almost immediately afterwards. Great game analysis, love the what makes you smile segment, and the chips segment as well.
  • NFL field goal kicker 999
    Great post game
    I looked for this every post game for the commanders games… Excellent review and summary, great analysis by Mitch and JP
  • Blake Livingston Hodges
    A beacon in the night
    I’m a 30-year-old Redskins/football team/commanders fan and it hasn’t been easy. I’ve been told by my father of the days of old when we played well, but I’ve never seen us get even close to that. Having this podcast and these dudes to commiserate the misery after each game is quickly becoming one of the top tier parts of being a commanders fan. Everything else might be falling apart but at least we got good post game hangs!
  • KC Easy Rider 63
    Excellent Podcast
    These guys are very knowledgeable. They clearly love the team, but never hesitate to criticize them when necessary, which unfortunately is quite often. So if you want passionate, yet reasonable analysis of the Commanders this is the podcast.
  • DC21987656789
    Used to love it
    Show used to be better. Gotten away from covering the football and just spend way too much time analyzing what/why everything Ron Rivera says. Guess what - he is just a football coach. Most people don’t expect everything he says to be that important. I think this is media hangover from covering Snyder. Cover football and you get more stars than covering press conferences……. JP… stop telling us how busy you are and how you gotta go. Kinda unbecoming since we know you could edit out those comments so just sounds like you want to sound important.
  • Ali boooomaye
    Petey boy is missed
    Didn’t think would have said this but Pete is missed.. the show is average at best now.
  • Capitol Hill Electric
    Big man and JP
    Great insight to our favorite team
  • Sam_18B
    Big fan
    I’m 22 and I’ve been listening for like 2 years straight. Can’t miss a pod. These gentlemen keep me interested in an awful football team. HTTB&G
  • ross_gore
    Used to be a lot better
    They desperately miss Pete. All the shows are rushed and a lot less authentic than they were before September 2023. Won’t keep listening through the season if it stays this way since their is better stuff out there. Didn’t use to be this way.
  • Gkbean001
    Rushing pods
    I understand you guys have a lot going on and Pete is gone… but idk why you say things like let’s do this quickly… why are you rushing? Under 30 min pod … meh. I still love ya but dang.
  • Evan23Newton
    With a BIG caveat…
    Listened for over 6 years. The show used to be two to three times a week during the season. Now, there’s a sanitized, shorter, made-for-TV preview show and post-game pod. I listen to the show for the authentic conversation and people, not top-button Mitch and reporter JP. We got pods more frequently during training camp than when they’re playing the actual games. Would have loved to hear from the guys Mon/Tues after each game to get the pulse of the fans & team, like we used to. Instead, we just get a rushed preview show late in the week. I understand their situation has changed greatly but it doesn’t feel like they’re doing anything new, and are just hoping listeners will stick it out. And if they’re limited by external factors, they haven’t told us - so I don’t know if I should expect it to get better either. Get another co-host, add more shows, just do something - I’m at a crossroads as a long time listener.

    Great podcast, please improve audio quality
    This has been a great, scrappy podcast since it launched and I love the in-the-moment game recaps and reactions to major events with the franchise (e.g the fall of Snyder). It would be five stars if they paid any attention to audio quality. JP driving through tunnels doesn’t make for great listening. A little effort to record episodes with stable internet would go a long way for this pod to take the next step. Keep up the great work guys! MoCo represent!
  • Beltway Pod review

  • LLKENJ
    If you have to be in the phone why do it?
    It sounds horrible when you are on the phone. Just a terrible listening experience.
  • Benjamin Dearing
    Long time fan first time reviewer!
    My first memory in life is sitting on my Grandads lap, smell of cheap beer and him cheering for the Redskins!!! These boys give you everything you need to know about the former Redskins, Washington Football Team, and Commanders and hopefully Redwolfs!!! I am a Travel nurse and have been all over the US and especially during Covid listen to the boys made me feel like I was home. Mitch love the big man talk.
  • drewworld

  • TLow820
    The Best Washington Football Pod!
    JP and Mitch bring the perfect combination real team news and humor. You can tell that it’s not just their jobs but that they love this team just as much as we all love it. When you listen you feel like you are hang out with buds talking Commanders! If you made it this far you owe me a beer.
  • Mikey 95
    Great Podcast

  • BDDFC05
    My fave
    I love the pod! JP, Mitch, & gang bring the realest Skins news and updates packed with awesome interviews. I love the personal aspects mixed in…I feel like I’ve gotten to know you guys over the years.
  • Jojodilio
    Great show about Washington football
    I don’t live in the area anymore but I still love DC sports. This show keeps me informed and I find the hosts takes are often spot on. Shout out to JP, Mitch and Pete. If I ever move back to the area, I know to go to Ourisman Automotive for my next vehicle. Update: we miss Pete already, but good luck in the Golf world!
  • biceps for daze
    WE WANT BOURBAN!!!!!
    Left guard > kicker. Love the pod.

    Better Now
    I have always enjoyed JP, Mitch, and Pete’s pods. Better now with two voices. Better flow of insights without the silly stuff.
  • dans105
    Beat overall DC football podcast
    Best podcast for Commanders/Skins info, news, analysis, etc. Great job boys!
  • abcdand
    It is even better sans Pete…
    You guys are more on top of it and more serious/informative with 2. It’s what’s been missing post Tandler. Logic/reason- above all. And Mitch has ditched the stubborn irrational points and nonsensical bullishness it seems. It make the podcast really worthwhile and even better than before.

    Good.
