    Scott Wood
    The way Scott Wood described fans of other teams was spot on. I have been a State Fan all my life, my Father graduates from state in the late 60’s. I had no choice and I love the Pack. Love this run and the joy I have probably rivals that of Scott. I remember 83 and 74. Go Pack!!!!
  • Yucapack
    fan feedback
    I am not a fan of the fan feedback during the podcasts. IMO, doesn’t add anything and breaks up the continuity. Go Pack! Content is good but here’s a new drinking game. Take a drink every time some one says “like”. Too many ti count!
  • Kgreene88898
    I want to like it
    As much as I like Cory’s analysis I can’t tolerate Michaels negativity. It seems like there is constructive criticism and there’s just constantly pointing out what’s wrong. If there is criticism there needs to be a balance. Michael can’t just sit and say “I’m just going to be brutally honest” and have freedom to just say whatever he wants. I really want to like the podcast and I appreciate Cory’s work.
  • WolfpackRx
    Great podcast
    Love the podcast, been listening to James Curle since the Riddick & Reynolds podcast, I like the perspective he brings
  • Chris_j1453
    Podcast
    I really enjoy the podcast, very good info but Michael’s constant interruptions make it difficult to listen to at times
  • bobbiebubs
    Great NC State Podcast
    This podcast has evolved positively from interviewer talent, guests, and production. Always a joy to listen while out on morning walks to satisfy the need for NC State content between big games / seasons. Thank you for all of the time you all dedicate to make this podcast happen.
  • Gamecock Fan 1
    Must listen for 🐺 fans
    Wolfpack Nation, this podcast is the best podcast for in depth information on all NC State sports. Along with informative hosts several episodes also feature great guests like current players on the football team. Thanks for the 5 ⭐️ content!!
  • Dirtyernie in Va
    Michael Clark is great!
    Cory does a nice job and Michael Clark is excellent! Keep up the good work, guys and thank you! -Dirtyernie
  • GattacaFan
    Great for NCSU fans
    An insightful, positive look at NC State athletics.
  • JaxMcD
    Howling Good Podcast
    Cory and Michael offer intelligent and coherent observation and critique of NC State athletics. They are passionate Wolfpack fans, yet still deliver realistic reporting of team activities. Be sure to subscribe to this pod.
  • Cooldrip
    Postgame
    Without a postgame pod, you’re basically useless.
  • waiting on a response
    Good work
    Keep up the good work! Good content, good interviews: it’s the best Wolfpack podcast out there.
  • Kate Merrell
    Great Podcast
    I really like this podcast, the best Wolfpack podcast out there. The only thing that would make it better is if they would cover Women’s sports more. I know men’s basketball and football are the money makers but I would love to hear more about our women’s basketball team which is #2 in the country right now.
  • Toledo1Brandon
    Go Pack!
    Best Wolfpack Athletics podcast!
  • zkunkel
    Pack fans dream
    Love listening to people who understand the pack, talk about the pack. Good content in a world where NC State doesn’t get media coverage often.
  • BillBlaster1
    Go Pack!
    These guys work tirelessly to bring NC State sports results to is, and they do a great job. They don’t pull punches and objectively criticize when needed. Download it if you love Wolfpack sports.
  • josh gaddy
    Awesome
    Great place to hear the scoop on pack sports. Well informed.
  • Jsanders73
    PC
    Listening to you two stumble over your words in an attempt to remain PC over Doeren’s recent Corona virus comments was nauseating!
  • wroncsu
    Pack
    Really like the different guests during Covid. Need to edit down that intro though, not sure that’s needed at all.
  • RHpackman
    A must listen for diehards
    These guys do a solid job breaking down Pack sports. You can get box scores and highlights of games in the paper and online, but listening to these podcasts is a worthy use of time if you want some solid insight. Nice work gents
  • AvidSportsFan88
    Top notch guests!
    Cory seems to get the best guests on his podcasts, including the famed Debbie Yow. Also seems like he has a good rapport with NC State athletics which helps in getting us listeners awesome intel.
  • Geo1son
    #WPN this is for you
    Absolute best NC State pod out there no questions straight fact. Wolfpack ain’t for soft people. You gotta be tough.
  • MTNZ63
    Ehh
    The host Cory is about as blatant a homer as you can get which is annoying even for an NCSU grad. Objective analysis will not be found here.
  • Nick in Raleigh
    Could be better
    Sound quality is bad and background music needs to go. Show could be good if host would talk to the interviewees more like a journalist, and less like a “bro.” Like when Michael Clark comes on, but it’s so hard to hear him.
  • Mett7777
    By Far the worst NC State podcast
    By far the worst NC State podcast. Poor production quality. The Wolfpacker podcast, The Red and White Podcast, and Backing the Pack podcasts have better insight and analysis, better production, and are honest and real. These guys are a bunch of homers toeing the company line trying to sell subscriptions. I listened for 4 months before I unsubscribed and I haven't regretted it since.
  • Tucker Blankinship
    In Depth, Quality but need some Baseball
    McLamb and Henderson do a great job here. Really go in depth here and cover off the beaten path topics that creates intrigue. They're particular strong on Basketball recruiting. But need some baseball podcasts. When you're doing at least a podcast a month and week by week for football and Basketball, baseball deserves some. More popular now and program deserves it at top 1/2 of ACC.
  • ncsuwolfpack94
    Outdated
    Please update this podcast! Its like 4 years old!
  • Vincent M
    First Review Baby!!!!
    This is a freakin' sweet podcast even though it isn't up to date. I'm a big Wolfpack fan and this would be the perfect podcast for any NC State fan. And please, iTunes get this podcast up to date.(By the way the SUPERNOISE Highlight didn't have any sound when I played it on my iPod so be warned people.)
