Not your highly analytical NFL podcast, but great chemistry and entertaining. Guests bring in a lot of knowledge and the producer stepped up his game. This is your podcast, if you love the game, but don't want to be bombarded with every next gen stat available..

Sounds like an exciting new podcast for NFL fans! Dan Hanzus and Marc Sessler are known for their insightful and entertaining takes on the game. “Heed The Call” is bound to deliver top-notch analysis with a sprinkle of humor. Perfect for any football aficionado looking for a fresh perspective! https://www.mcdvoice.site

It’s a shame that Marc and Dan had to get fired to finally get rid of Gregg
