Terrific show

The Drive With Jack is a terrific mid-Michigan sports talk show. TDWJ is my go-to late afternoon listen and the pod segments are well titled and easy to access on a variety of platforms.

The show

Plenty of good guests, from his lifetime of covering sports, in particular, all things Spartan. Keep up the good work. Good friend of your associate, Lynne T.

Steeped with MSU History

Jack is well respected and I love his topics and questions.
Spartan in Tampa

Nice to hear MSU stuff in warm weather

I got the best of both worlds no snow or crappy weather and listening to Jack and guests. I do miss blue belly Tom but all his guests make up for it.
DC Sparty

Keep it about Sparty

Great discussions. However, too much time is devoted to scUM.
