Rapien is probably my favorite person that covers the Bengals.

Yea, he's great. I first heard him when he was the producer for Mo Egger (who also is good) who I listened to on my drive home every day before the pandemic made me work from home full time. Despite being the producer, Mo just let James kind of own the Bengals segments and he always did a great job.

He left Mo's show when he got a job up in Cleveland covering the Guardians and Cavs (I think he also did the Browns, but not sure), which bummed me out, but I was super excited when he left that job and joined the Locked On Bengals podcast when Joe Goodberry retired. Then he started Cincinnati Bengals Talk, which has really great segments, one of them by Joe Goodberry haha.

I also like Dave Lapham, but not on the scale of the others I listed.
