This seems like a crock of **** to me. I really like that pod.

Agree. This is just my opinion, but I believe no tolerance policies like this are lazy and gutless. They allow the decision makers to escape having to take all circumstances into consideration and make appropriate decisions. It's like the school district that expels a 3rd grade girl for having a plastic squirt gun in her pocket.
This might be the most moronic termination I've heard of in a while. How the hell do you get fired for someone totally unrelated to you saying slurs while actually condeming them the entire show?
It’s also a low-level podcast lol. No offense to Josh Neighbors, I’m a daily listener but in terms of numbers it’s pretty small. It’s just very very niche. Surprised this kind of policy is even documented.
So the dude who actually said it kept his job, and this guy loses his for simply replaying it?
That was a great podcast. I was especially entertained with the Big 12 and the Pac 12 dude's collaborations. The Locked on Network can go F themselves.
And then again in today's world, it makes sense (it shouldn't).
Doesn't seem like they had a mutual understanding of what was allowed and what was prohibited. I wonder what other sorts of incidents have happened with the company that could be used as precedents.
P.S. Did "Two Guys Named Chris" play the whole thing? If not, we finally found something they want say on the air!

Am I understanding it correctly the actual issue is that he decided to replay the clip completely unedited? If that’s the case I guess I can understand where they’re coming from but termination seems extreme. But I don’t understand why you wouldn’t bleep out the word itself.
Why wouldn't you bleep out the word itself? Because the whole point is to convey to the listener exactly what was said. I think as long as you provide a prior warning for those audience members who may have delicate ears, there's nothing wrong with playing the recording unedited.
Agree, but no tolerance is no tolerance. You have to have an understanding of policy. I agree that the policy itself is dumb and lazy.
