AVclub.com named The B.S. Report one of the best podcasts of 2010.[5]
The B.S. Report opens with a theme song written and performed by Ronald Jenkees[6][7] and a voice-over announcement that the podcast "is a free-flowing conversation that occasionally touches on mature subjects." Simmons rarely performs a monologue, but instead holds a conversation with one or more guests for the entire episode.
Most B.S. Report episodes are based on discussions of sports, but occasionally Simmons will have entertainers or pop-culture observers on to talk about entertainment issues of the day, such as Saturday Night Live,[8] reality television, movies and music.
