I have a horrible commute to work on I95 everyday. Northern VA has the worse traffic in America outside of LA and the only thing that often keeps me going is listening to a terrific podcast- MMA Junkie Radio. MMA Junkie Radio is available to down load free on ITunes everyday and you can also listen live. The podcast is excellent because of the personalities of the Host Gorgeous George and his brother/producer Gooze. The two are usually joined by MMA Insider John Morgan. The three also bring in daily big name MMA fighters for interviews. The show takes place in Vegas and they have had numerous fighters as in studio guests where they can get a little more in depth with fighters than a quick phone interview allow.
The show is full of humor and is pretty free flowing. It feels like friends sitting around and talking about fights and fighters. While it is a laid back, casual show that is often light on production, it is high on content. The show has huge guests off of big wins and loses. For example a topic of one show right after the Bisping vs. Hendo fight was Hendo's last blow on Bisping and whether it was a cheap shot. Caller after caller debated what was going on in Hendo's mind before he threw the last punch, then George said "you know what lets call him and find out." Within minutes Hendo was on the phone explaining his mindset at the end of the fight. No other show is that connected to make that happen while still being independent enough to be critical of big name promotions if they see fit.
John Morgan brings a big dose of journalistic integrity to the show as well as breaking news live as the show goes on. This timely coverage is impressive and useful for fans of a sport that for some reason big time sports media outlets still don't cover enough.
So consider this a plug for a show that I completely enjoy everyday. If you are a fan of MMA than you probably will as well- so check it out.
