Listener sentiment
Sharp or Square — the relaunched version of Chad Millman and Simon Hunter's previous show on Action Network — has been met with overwhelming enthusiasm from its loyal audience, many of whom followed the duo to their new home on The Volume. Listeners consistently praise Simon's professional handicapping expertise and the hosts' chemistry and banter, crediting the show with making them smarter bettors and, often, money. Recurring fan-favorite segments include the Wiseguy Hotline, Simon Says, and the weekly best bet, with several reviewers also welcoming the return of a producer named Matt. The most common criticisms center on excessive ad load and a desire for official picks to be published earlier in the week, ideally by Friday rather than Sunday. A smaller but consistent group of reviewers express frustration with the dynamic between the two hosts — feeling that Chad contributes less handicapping value than Simon and that their on-air interruptions and occasional bickering detract from the show — while a handful of recent reviews suggest the overall quality has slipped somewhat, citing less preparation and more interpersonal friction, though the majority of feedback remains strongly positive.
