MandoFrogBreaker of the SEC NARRATIVELove this show been listening for years to heartland sports and man there’s not a better show to support the big 12 and Pete calls out the SEC and big 10 for all the stuff they try to pull, and brings the big heads back down to earth and lays it in black and white for the country to see and hear. Keep it up Pete you have a listener for life. Riff ram bah zoo
-
NativeTexicanShoulda, Coulda, WouldaBig 12 is the actual hypothetical champs. Pete said ASU was merely a blown call from advancing to semi-finalist. Then Pete said TCU or Baylor would have won the 2013 mnational championship. What a hypocrite and crybaby. I say no auto bids and straight seeding. Texas will be in it anyway. You can’t keep the best out. Someone call the mediocre 12 a whaaa-mbulance! No auto bids ain’t good enough either huh? You’re like a woman, always complaining and nothing pleases you. Now Ok-state coulda won it all too. Hypothetically of course!
-
Arich5002Continually Ceaselessly Consistently Consistent ContentOr in the very least, contiguous to those. Enjoy the Big 12 football & basketball news and predictions. We have ourselves a fun conference and this show does a great job breaking all of the action down.
-
West Virginia 1Pete MundoIs consistently consistent with his Big 12 content. First class podcaster.
-
Gary in GermanyWorst Big 12 PodNot sure what’s worse the content or pandering to perceived ‘heartland’ values that don’t include intelligence, originality, or humor.
-
New Wave MusicGreat Big 12 Conference Podcast!If you’re a Big 12 fan, this podcast is a must-listen. It offers deep, insightful coverage of the conference, with Pete delivering knowledgeable analysis and honest takes on all the latest games and stories.
-
Harline is still openPete Mundo — best in classI listen to several BYU and Big 12 podcasts. Pete Mundo is by far the best Big 12 pod.

bennett_DinosaurA big 12 Reasons……to love this podcast: 1. It’s focused on the Big 12, the most competitive and entertaining of conferences 2. Fair coverage of all teams 3. Deep well of knowledge about each team’s roster and staff 4. Deep well of knowledge of each team’s history and culture 5. Willing to interact and answer questions live 6. Honest yet not overly sensational 7. Not too many advertisements 8. Pete Mundo’s perfect voice 9. Not too short, not too long, easy to keep up with 10. Episodes posted with frequency 11. Cultivates a tenderness toward every team in the Big 12 so that we easily root for them when they play other conferences and long to see the conference as a whole do well. 12. Family/children anecdotes

JHVZ23Quintessential Big XII PodcastThere are so many things HCS nails covering the Big XII with near-unparalleled depth of coverage. It is not skewed to one team in particular and is pretty fair to every program. My biggest qualm is how punchy and combative every episode feels. It feels like every episode is trying to find ways to put the “Big XII gets slighted again” in the cover. Trust me, I have no love for ESPN not the SEC, but I want to hear about what is happening in the conference as a whole or even speculation about UConn not wholesale criticism of ESPN commentators. All that aside, it’s a great podcast and still informative. Keep up the great work!

LottGBourbonBest Big 12 PodcastI have listened to every Big 12 podcast and Heartland is the best
-
cageyjamesNew to the Big 12My team is in a new leave and this podcast has been great helping me learn about the other teams and traditions. Can’t recommend it enough!
-
TexasChief15Love the Great Big 12 ContentGreat podcast. Very informative updates on the Big 12 Conference. Pete Mundo and his team are a treasure.
-
LoBoJanglesNew P12 ImmigrantAs a podcast consumer it’s been a kick in the balls to lose some great P12 content and personalities. Heartland is now a go to for B12 content. (Even tho ASU is being relagated to an afterthought and also ran and maybe rightfully so…for now) Great stuff so far. Looking forward to in season.
-
Matt1ton210Big 12 Must-ListenPete does a good job. Thoughtful analysis. Entertaining listen.
-
FirelordsoloGreat BIG 12 ContentLeaving a review because I love the content and want more!

Seth_DBest B12 CoverageThe best podcast for Big 12 news and predictions!
-
NickGB56Great podcastGreat podcast! Good information top to bottom in the conference. Go pokes!! Mundo - stop picking against Pitt.
-
wvanglerMundo gives intelligent analysisI’ve been listening to numerous B12 podcasts regularly for a long time. I don’t normally leave reviews, but Mundo continues to impress me with hard truths, detailed analysis, and a rooting interest in a better Big 12!
-
BYU032(BYU FAN)I love the honest coverage and all the free content! Well worth a 5 star rating + review.
-
Michael TurnleyGreat PodLove the show. Pete does a great job covering all big 12 teams and event with no bias!
-
Sir CoopsalotShow and content are pretty good, but I had to stop listening.Please stop asking for the audience to “hit the subscribe button”. I stopped listening because of the amount of times that was mentioned. Once, MAYBE twice (beginning and end) is plenty. If the show is good (which I believe it is), people will subscribe.
-
Mitch'-KTerrible audioAppreciate the podcast Pete but your audio quality is really atrocious. Will happily raise to 5 starts if fixed! The audio is very muffled and muted so listeners really need to crank the volume and then when the ads come on it is blaring as a result.
-
BackstabsThanksI’m an ISU fan. I love the podcasts.
-
GoPokes82Awesome Show!Finally a show that goes in depth about the big 12. The national media doesn’t show the big 12 as much love but it’s refreshing to get an unbiased breakdown of the conference through each phase of the season! Definitely worth a listen, Pete keeps it super entertaining!
-
Lo592Excited for the seasonFound this show as I’m gearing up for the season. Really great coverage of the whole conference. Looking forward to listening to the show as games start!
-
weakstickAOutstanding show, thanks Pete! Go Pokes! 🤠
-
BYU all dayBest 12 podcastGreat show! Being a BYU fan, listening to this show has helped me learn more about this great conference. Love that Pete doesn’t focus on conference realignment and talks ball.
-
gojoejGo Cyclones!Love the non biased all around big 12 talk! I wish there was a little more cyclone talk but it makes it when you talk about them special. I do have one question, would a 9-3 season be disappointing for Iowa State?
-
apoww99Great podcast, GKCO ⚔️Best podcast for big 12 fans!! Great breakdowns of every team and no bias at all. Great listen!!
-
Jk21580Great podcast!Long time Colorado fan looking to replace my old pac 12 podcasts. Really enjoy this one.

Bald MambaUCF!!Probably my favorite big 12 podcast out there! There is no major bias, everything is level headed and thought out very well.. and no clickbait episodes!! I really love this podcast, and would recommend it to any big 12 fan. Go knights, charge on! ⚔️

J-dubyadubyaPete is awesomeI love watching the video version of this podcast on YouTube as well. He’s excellent and a good voice for the big 12.
-
JespaincGreat big 12 podcastLove Pete’s analysis, how he calls it like he sees it, and how he is an independent supporter of all things Big 12. Best college sports podcast out there.
-
Big12SouthChampsBig 12 Baby!!! Great ShowI love this show. Best Big 12 football show hands down. I’m a Horns fan and I embrace the Horns down. I’m a Texan and I love seeing TCU, Tech, Houston, and Baylor win. I love our teams in this conference. I cheer for our teams from Provo to Orlando, from Lubbock to Morgantown, from Houston to Aimes, and everywhere in between. Thanks for the awesome show Pete. Thanks for being unbiased and fair across the board. I’m a huge fan! HOOK EM!!!
-
shockersfanStop repeating your contentThis guy keeps repeating everything over and over again so that he can prolong the episode. His material is useless, don’t listen to this podcast if you are looking for a quality podcast. The guy is terrible.
-
pumodiClone fan in SEC countryNative of Ames now living in Georgia. Love listening to news and takes about the entire Big 12 along with my hometown Clones. Thanks for all you do!
-
JameDeeziacThe BestBest Big 12 football podcast there is
-
TEX2GaPete’s ReviewPete has inconsistent logic in his ratings. I wouldn’t care except he tries to sell himself as impartial. He has a radio voice with bad analysis. In fairness he does have a product to sell, so it makes sense.
-
Davidbailey1400Go EERs. Good job.Love the show! Great listen.
-
seanwhy5Best Big 12 PodcastI listen to a fair number of football podcasts. I am a graduate of both WVU and Texas. Pete Mundo’s podcast is easily the best general Big 12 podcast and one of the best football podcasts generally. Pete provides intelligent analysis on important issues. If you like the Big 12, you should start with this podcast.
-
T-TownChampBest Big 12 PodPete Mundo provides fantastic analysis every week, nobody else even comes close to the quality of this podcast. 🐐
-
RyanIgnite777New Listener and Already HookedI love listening to sports podcasts, but so many of them only focus on 5-10 teams. It’s awesome to great a breakdown of the Big 12 and get some WVU coverage even during our lean years.
-
Tim Tom ClonePete Mundo is number One-doI’m a Cyclone stuck in B1G focused Twin Cities and have been listening to HCS for Big 12 content for years. Along with my Favorite ISU podcasts, HCS is always a regular listen. Hey Pete, do me a favor and autograph my Koosie? You’re the best man!
-
Dah4949The best Big 12 podcast out there.I’ve been listening to Pete since nearly the beginning. Love the Big XII content.
