  • Longtime Heel
    Why is Joey Powell employed by Inside Carolina?
    Joey is that guy that doesn’t know what he doesn’t know. Not self aware. Need more Tommy.
  • Professor Football (JGNC)
    Where’s Buck Sanders?
    Loved the old shows with Tommy Ashley, Greg Barnes, and Buck Sanders. Those three made for a great football talk show.
  • raleigheelunccarolinajordanfan
    Coast to coast
    So much better with Tommy as host and not Joey. Joey should be taking notes on how Tommy actually asks questions, minimal banter, offers a quick opinion, gets directly into another question and doesn’t talk for 2-3’min and interrupt his guests. Oh and he also doesn’t talk for 30’seconds in what sounds like actual talk only to do a Fn JTS ad read. So annoying. Thank you Tommy. Please keep it this way.
  • jonclendenin
    Great Podcast, but…
    Could you find a more feminine voice than the host? Nothing about that guy screams athletics to anyone. What in the world?
  • J.R. Parks
    Good but
    This is the first thing I listen to after each game. But would like to hear more criticism when it’s earned. I get they prob don’t want to make any any bad mad by being to negative. But I want to hear real talk. The team is playing bad. The coaching is bad. The line up is bad. We got 2 freshman on the bench that need to be on the floor. Coach Davis is failing this team. It’s early so hopefully he soon figures it out. But I doubt it. Withers is still playing with. 2 minutes to go. And Jackson is on the bench. Why???
  • BHartzell17
    Always outstanding UNC content
    Mostly basketball & football, but IC does cover other UNC sports & occasionally sneaks in a superstar (Eric Church!). Outstanding content if you love UNC & UNC athletics. Not sure what a reviewer has against Joey Powell, but he (& the other podcast hosts & guests) loves the Heels & knows what he’s talking about.
  • more kevin
    Less Joey Powell
    Less Joey Powell. He’s terrible and doesn’t bring anything to the show. Everything else is great
  • DebbyLeeOC
    Great Analysis
    I love this podcast. JJ has a player’s insight that is valuable and offers a point of view most casual/ rabid fans have not considered. Please return next season!
  • NC baseball guy
    A real UNC fans pod
    Love this pod, as a fan who is looking for real conversations good or bad this is the place to go! Football, basketball, baseball and everything else sprinkled in it’s always #gdtbath #goheels
  • Rainy —
    Justin Jackson!
    Love Shooting it Straight with Justin Jackson each week. My only complaint is he is not on the podcast daily! Great honest and interesting insights as a former player!
  • hqwertyu
    Big Fan of the Team!
    Huge fan of the team. Love the variety of content provided, love the analysis, etc. I’ve even gotten a tshirt from Johnny Tshirt to support lol. Don’t ever stop folks!
  • drheel
    The new format doesn’t work
    This show has gotten off the rails with the new format of quote, story, etc. We want to hear good analysis of how the team is performing, not trivia. Also…this show could benefit from more of Tommy’s personal insight rather than just moderating AND please bring back Greg Barnes - by far the best IC analyst.
  • TaeHTTR
    Go heels
    On the beat has fell so far. I have no interest in listening to these guys.
  • COSHeel
    The Best in the business
    Inside Carolina is absolutely the best in the business. Love listening and reading all the content.
  • CharlieG133334
    Awesome
    These Guys do a great job breaking down every little thing you may not thing about or realize. They are so knowledgeable and really make everything so clear.
  • OKC
    The best place for all the news fit print about Carolina!
    The staff of Inside Carolina do a great job of providing the inside scoop when it comes to the Tarheels. The podcast continues to evolve and proved timely news and also allows for listeners to learn a bit about the players and coaches as well. The podcast and the website are my go to source when it comes to Carolina athletics. Keep up the good work!
  • Tarheelmd
    This is it when it comes to UNC sports
    True insider information with each pod, nothing else like it. Go Heels!
  • PhylFul
    Best UNC sports pod
    Go- to UNC sports for me. Unlike some other casts, this crew talks sports, not name-dropping reminiscence about special access that their listeners don’t enjoy. No frat-tastic vibes, here. Thanks for keeping it heel.
  • Palmer_Pal
    Must have.
    My go to for all Carolina sports. They don’t pull their punches.

    The best
    These guys are the best
  • Leablu
    Best in the Business
    Listen to every episode, these guys are the best!
  • Dean Smith was nonpareil
    Excellent work
    Very well done, gentleman: informative and entertaining
  • TrippHuff
    Great generally but...
    ... Some of these guys have a voice/tone/personality maybe best suited for print media. Looking at you Ross Martin and John Bauman.
  • IamEnough22
    Coast to Coast is fantastic
    Joey, Sherrell, and Sean do a great job covering the Heels. They have solid insider information, are JUST objective enough (but not too much), but the best thing about the trio is how they “fit” together. Great show on a consistent basis.
  • tarheel32blue
    Great content
    Would’ve been 5 stars if Joey Powell would shut up once in awhile. He’s insufferable.
  • Durham Heel
    In the Trenches
    Love the podcast, but one complaint. This is the 2nd time of of the guys has made mention of something - this time it was the rumor of Maye’s possible transfer - while saying “we’ll discuss that more off the air. Please don’t mention it on the air if you aren’t willing to discuss it on the air.
  • @jdjones15
    Quintessential UNC Podcast
    I’ve been listening to these guys for years now and have always enjoyed the humor and analysis. Adam Smith was a great hire but he’s far too nice to Ross!
  • Huntercook99
    5 stars
    IC is the best. Always great content and breakdown. Adam is a great addition
  • HeelGrad86
    Staples
    Podcast is great. Listen to every episode. But my lord can someone please tell Guest Staples that he’s not the smartest football mind and his negativity is damming. Seems like this guy thinks he could do a better job than Mack & staff. 5 Star rating without Staples

  • Doubleatarheel
    Wish we kept Garcia
    Dawson Garcia is exactly what we needed to replace Brady. Hate we lost him.
  • MH9195
    Entertaining but poor production quality
    If you are a UNC basketball or football fan, this is an entertaining podcast. However over the past two years the production quality has really dropped off. All of the participants seem to be still working remotely, and it really shows in the connections and sound. It sounds like an amateur podcast of guys working in their garages. Also, many of the podcasts now are just re-broadcasts of live YouTube feeds, and you can really tell the emphasis is to play to the YouTube participants rather than podcast listeners. For higher technical quality podcast and more substantive information I prefer the Carolina Insider podcast, but when I have extra time in the car this is my next go-to.
  • KevinOEngram
    Great Carolina Podcast
    I really like the Coast to Coast segments of the podcast, especially since they give such honest reviews of the games, player development, recruiting, etc. Great Job, Guys!!
  • srl2021
    The Scoop
    Please check Ross” connection or mic - most recent podcasts his feed sound quality poor.
  • Negenagbagbfna
    Go-to in depth Tarheel Sports analysis
    These guys are great. Tons of insight and really dig into the numbers to keep you well versed in Carolina sports. Good guests too.
  • bigsky1714
    A must for Tar Heel fans
    This is the one. Listen frequently. These guys are the best. Love the scoop and recruiting news’s. Fantastic!!!!!
  • heirto23
    Amazing pod
    Best podcast out there on Carolina hoops and terrific discussion on a variety of topics.
  • Boogolou
    Matt from Cullowhee
    Question I have notice Bateman loves using 2 D- Lineman as a base personal in nickel and even goal line. I noticed it during FSU and Miami, and each team ran the ball great and he never really changed personal. I know in the first year he basically only had Crawford and strowbridge. My question is, is Bateman personal based on having 2OLB on the field at all times?
  • 123tb123
    Negative Vibes, Negative Hosts
    If you like highly negative and biased info based on how someone “feels” about a football game then this station is for you. Even when things are going well, these guys still could spend half a show talking about how bad a play call was or how bad the team looked. They even complain during wins, or too much time wasted talking about how bad the other teams’ play calling was. Who cares about the other team, Heels just won! Geez. It’s a shame because there is one analyst on the show that gives measurable data based off stats and the percentages. If the show could stick to the nuts and bolts of the game, it would be so much better.
  • jdw1302
    Enjoy the shows
    Great coverage of UNC football and basketball. I really enjoy listening -especially since I’ve been out of N.C. for the last 21 years. To borrow from the Roy Williams superstitious school of thought though, quit making the dadgum predictions in The Game Plan episodes. 😂
  • dmchang85
    Great content for UNC fans
    Great coverage and analysis of UNC football and basketball. Inside scoops on recruiting too. Great insights from Vippolis
  • KNUCKLEHEDD
    If You Know You Know
    And if you don’t listen to the Coast To Coast Podcast…. YOU DON’T KNOW!!!! An youuuuuu betta askkkkk sombodeeeeeeeeee. Loved The Game Plan before Virginia, giving me some things to look for as far as matchups and scheme.
  • bdpit
    A++++
    As good as it gets! Joey’s BBQ opinions NOTwithstanding.
  • @sfort_704
    Best for the Best!
    The IC Team does an incredible job of adding color around the amazing content they create on the IC pages and the VIP boards! As a Tar Heel graduate (‘10) — IC is the source for all my news for any and all UNC group chats I am currently involved in. The names of media members who have come through IC at this point is a “Whose Who” of up and coming digital journalist! Worth a “Subscribe” for sure — Go Heels!
  • krogers78
    Great pod
    Love this pod for UNC recruiting info.
  • Ngoodling
    If you love UNC sports in any way, you must listen.
    As someone who’s dying for UNC sports content on a regular basis, this podcast gives me life. It’s well structured, professional, and filled with the best content UNC fans can get.
  • StuScottFan
    Coast to Coast & Postgame Pods FTW
    Updating my review but gotta help out the Coast to Coast crew. RellDMC & Sean Moran have info and Joey Powell facilitates well. Tommy Ashley, Greg Barnes, Sherrell McMillan & postgame pods with Dewey Burke make for a very informed men’s basketball crew. I’m not a huge football guy but they keep me informed enough for football, and the podcasts wore me down and prompted me to subscribe. Good work gentlemen.
  • gavin-33b
    This review is for joey!
    I love the podcasts! Especially coast to coast. First heard you guys my freshmen year at UNC! - Gavin
