He's very knowledgeable but doesn't have a good sense for the mic.
Driskell knows a lot and I find his input very informative, especially when it comes to the "why" things go poorly or well. However, there is zero volley back and forth between him and Somogyi. I always enjoy Lou's historical perspective when it comes to ND football. He's like a walking encyclopedia when it comes to ND football history. So when I tune in I want to hear both of them speak. It seemed to be gradually getting worse with Driskell going on for 8-10 minutes at a clip with Lou talking for 30-60 seconds only to get cut off by Driskell.
The most recent podcast seems to be the most ridiculous. I listen in my car a lot while driving to and from work. It takes me between 20-25 minutes to commute to work. I kid you not, during the Stanford review podcast, he spoke the entire ride home from work without a single syllable from Somogyi. That's a 20 + minute diatribe. And when Lou finally got a chance to speak, Driskell cut him off after 15 seconds of speaking. It makes for a terrible listen.
By contrast, Irish Illustrated has 3 guys sharing the mic and deliver a nice even balance of contributions among Prister, O'Malley, and Sampson. In addition, their podcast only runs about 35 minutes. The 10/1 BGI podcast ran 1 hour and 45. That's insane. Thanks for the responses, I was just curious to see if it was just me that feels that Driskell rambled over Lou too much.
Irritating sometimes. My favorite podcast is the Irish Illustrated one, but the B&G podcast is probably more informative. I also listen to Irish Sports Daily podcast, And the new South Bend Tribune podcast, Pod O Gold.
I listen to those as well and find BGI very informative. I was curious to see if I was the only one that thought Driskell talked over Lou too much. Sometimes, the dude doesn't come up for air. At this point, he should just do it solo. Lou is just listening like the rest of us.
