Less Jackie and more Ramona, Cassidy and Rachel if you can get her. Jackie slows down the podcast with her tangental stories about old players (Celtics) that are kinda irrelavent now and to conversations. She also doesn't really bring any humour to the table isn't really a host, she's kinda like the old aunt at the table. She may be a great writer (I've personally never read any of her stuff) but she's really boring as a personality on the podcasts. (she told that same Larry Bird story about the wine two times already since she's been on).

On the other hand(s) Ramona is plugged into the LA teams like no other so she's always good for those teams. Rachel is a great host, she's always good at broaching a topic and also knows when to move on when enough has been said. Cassidy is pretty funny in a snide/pessimistic way.

You can try moving Jackie to a different group. Jackie alongside Tim and Brian makes for a very stilted, almost bland podcast. Where does the personality come from that group? Sure 2 of those 3 have good stories form many years of experience but they talk about current events so why keep them all together? If you really wanna do a podcast with mostly story tellers, you may wanna put Amin in it because atleast he's bringing the jokes too. Amin would also be an amazing contrast with Jackie, I would love to hear them chop it up.

The unique thing about this podcast week to week (other than it being ESPN) is the fact that there are really good female voices, which is something not alot of sports pods can say. Utilizing their talents in an optimum way could yield some really good results but you have to find a balance. Having all women on the pod for a day is pretty cool/unique but don't be afraid to scatter them around the week and see what happens.
