It’s painful to listen to. I wish there was a different host because this guy puts up new episodes all the time and I would love to hear anyone else in the world talk about the bruins other than this guy

Monotone and clunky. Suspect takes. Was disappointed after loving Locked on Celtics w/ Karalis.

The delivery is clunky, consistently stops talking mid-sentence like he got lost in the script he’s reading or something. Sounds more like a post game ESPN column than actual meaningful commentary.

Loads of potential and good content…. But Without being rude, does the host have a speech impediment? If so, he’s doing great, if not, why the pause after every single word. Turning a 20min pod into 30 minutes. I tried and tried but couldn’t get past the 10 minute mark. Maybe run the script...Read full review »

Cringy, steals takes, can’t finish a sentence. Convinced he doesn’t know hockey.
Nbusa7 via Apple Podcasts · United States of America · 02/22/23
The information is good, but unfortunately, this is a perfect example of just because anyone CAN host a podcast, that doesn’t mean they SHOULD. The host stops talking mid sentence, which makes it incredibly difficult to follow his thought process.

Good pod to unwind to at the end of the day.
Not a bird via Apple Podcasts · United States of America · 12/01/22
Feels like it has potential. Some hard downsides. Just can’t stick with this one. The first 3 minutes are painful every time. Feels like a 10-15 minutes of entertaining or informative for 30 minutes of total listen. It feels like a lot of reading straight from the Internet. There’s a significant...Read full review »

Eh
Somewhat informative but delivery is a bit painful. I’ve given it many tries but the clunky delivery feels unprofessional. If you’re a Bruins fan try Bruins Beat poo

I know he tries but get someone from Boston

Love you ian. Good pod. Appreciate the consistency but jesus man yr trade speculation segments are god awful.

Talk hockey not your view of Russian Politics or your view of healthcare!
Fred FIV via Apple Podcasts · United States of America · 12/02/21
Ian seems to have a sincere voice. I don’t understand the negativity. I’m a Bruins fan and I like this pod.

The best Bruins pod

I really gave this podcast a shot. I love podcasts and I love the Bruins so listening to this podcast seemed like a no-brainer to me. What I got instead was an ad-riddled experience, awful audio quality, and a host so awkward that he made me feel incredibly uncomfortable. Podcasts at a minimum...Read full review »
Original Six Fan via Apple Podcasts · United States of America · 02/10/21
I’m a huge fan of the Locked on podcast network but cannot believe how awful of a podcast this is. Host Ian McLaren is incredibly awkward and can barely complete a sentence. He doesn’t provide any insight instead just reads quotes from player that you can find anywhere on the internet. He also...Read full review »

ian is in tune with the team and informative. his speech pattern can be a little difficult to listen to but this is the best pod for the bruins so i want to support it. really appreciate that it's daily during the season. will we ever get to a point where ian doesn't have to spend the...Read full review »

Keeps me up to date. Host is great seems like a really nice guy. Very good information. I’d give it 6 stars if I could.
Patrick Tolan via Apple Podcasts · United States of America · 01/11/21
Ian does a great job giving impartial & insightful analysis. I’m a leafs fan listening to a bruins podcast, enough said.
captainboxmaker via Apple Podcasts · Canada · 12/31/20
Great job, very knowledgeable and I enjoy listening to your podcast!
Britt K24 via Apple Podcasts · United States of America · 08/27/20
Always an interesting listen especially after you get into and get to feel line you know Ian and the feel of the podcast. In particular great interview with Emily Cave today.
ACA 1986 via Apple Podcasts · United States of America · 08/25/20
Keep up the great work!
worbr via Apple Podcasts · United States of America · 08/24/20
This podcast gives great insight to player and team news for the Boston Bruins. Ian sounds like a younger guy which is a breath of fresh air considering how many old dudes there are talking about sports. Love the commentary and the thoughts as well. 10/10 would recommend for any Bruins fan. Go...Read full review »
McNamaraBand via Apple Podcasts · United States of America · 08/20/20
The host is very tough to listen to. Ian struggles to complete a full sentence most of the time with choppy phrases and the inability to finds words. Because of these reasons, any opinions or points of discussion are not conveyed to the listener. Honestly I can’t believe a growing company like...Read full review »
saltydog1318 via Apple Podcasts · United States of America · 08/19/20
Ian does a great job discussing all things Boston Bruins related. From one Bruins fan in Ontario to another, keep up the excellent work. Your time and effort is greatly appreciated!
Scott Jodrell via Apple Podcasts · Canada · 08/18/20
Great Podcast — IAn is knowledgeable and current. Thanks for being on top of the team and rooster.
Fred Shero. via Apple Podcasts · United States of America · 08/05/20
Having a daily show that stays current and doesn’t just do game recalls that end up irrelevant after a day or two is nice. Good current team news and accurate info. Ian can be a little spacey with his thoughts and I wish it was less uh and um. The ads have doubled in the last week I’ve noticed...Read full review »

Great show. Ian keeps it light and entertaining. I follow the Bruins more than I follow hockey in general, so in addition to his great Bruins coverage, he provides enough of a dose of what’s happening around the league to keep me informed overall. He’s making IanC’s proud.
IanCMacD via Apple Podcasts · United States of America · 03/07/20
Ian finds a great way to give daily updates and news while diving into some of the analytics without hitting overkill of so many numbers/stats. Living on the other side of the country it’s a great way for me to stay connected and feel like I’m up to date with news.
pezjunkie420 via Apple Podcasts · United States of America · 03/06/20
I’m a die hard Blackhawks fan, however, love the Bruins. The podcast does a great job with day to day updates on injuries, breaking down game play & analyzing offseason strategies, trade rumors. I highly recommend the show & always rate, review & subscribe, help grow the show!!
Oakley Fight Club via Apple Podcasts · United States of America · 02/20/20
Ian sounds like an 8th grader forced to give a book report on the Bruins. I still subscribe, but eh?
USGolding via Apple Podcasts · United States of America · 01/28/20
I have to imagine that the amount of 1 star reviews are some sort of smear campaign against the “Locked On” network. Ian’s channels his talents and love of the Bruins into creating a awesome podcast. His sense of humor and horrible dad jokes keep the show light yet informative. You can tell...Read full review »

As a Boston Bruins fan and hockey podcast junkie Ian and the Locked On Boston Bruins Podcast is a unique program in the podcast world as he adds insight and news on a daily basis.

Ian does a wonderful job with this Bruins podcast highly recommend it
Chris "The Hood" via Apple Podcasts · United States of America · 10/22/19
Like all of the Locked On podcasts the host is high on information and knowledge and has average to low podcasting skills. I suspect like the other Locked On hosts he’ll improve quickly and the podcast will be a good to very good daily sports podcast. A suggestion i have for listening to many...Read full review »

This is a must listen if you think of yourself as a Boston Bruins fan. Level-headed, rational, intelligent Bruins dialogue. Ian is an experienced, hard working individual and his podcast shows it. I recommend this show for all Boston fans Subscribe, share, and follow the man on Twitter. Keep up...Read full review »

Ian does a great job of being smart without yelling at you about it. A super relaxing and nice listen for Bruins fans to take in every day!

Excellent resource for Bruins fans. Ian does a great job. Don’t miss this podcast!
JayZ670 via Apple Podcasts · United States of America · 10/16/19
I’ve followed host Ian McLaren on Twitter for a while and have always appreciated his calm demeanor and rabid Bruins fandom. I was curious to see how this would translate to a podcast, and guess what — it does, well! Ian talks about the Bruins with lots of passion and a sort of intelligent...Read full review »
hanmanning19 via Apple Podcasts · United States of America · 10/03/19
I’m the devoted fan of a big Bruins rival, but I have a casual interest in the Bruins and I enjoy Ian’s approachability! He’s not afraid to talk about the emotional side of loving a team and he makes you feel like he’s having a conversation with you over a cup of coffee while talking stats and...Read full review »
