The Show is Fine, I Guess.

“Locked On Devils is a mediocre podcast. I like the format of a daily podcast at 30 minutes or less (like most Locked On shows), but the host here leaves so much to be desired. The show does have connections to Devil’s alumni and members of the media/community, so I’ll certainly give it points for that. The shows are posted pretty consistently (slightly less than every day), and I do like some of the segments that occasionally pop up. That’s about where the positives end.
I acknowledge that host Trey Matthews has above average hockey knowledge and some pedigree in the industry, but I don’t like him here. It feels like episodes are recorded on the fly: Trey consistently uses phrases and vocabulary incorrectly, at times speaks so quickly that he’s difficult to understand, and he’s often outshined by guests on the show who come across as better prepared, more well-spoken, and all around better suited for the podcast. Trey also consistently needs to backpedal on his commentary and apologize to the fan base for being either so wildly off base with his hot takes, or just plain incorrect in his assessment of the team. Lastly, Trey seems to have a pretty big ego, as he regularly refers to himself as a “Devil’s personality,” actively fishes for positive ratings/feedback, and asks the fan base to validate himself and the show.
Maybe I’m being overly critical, but I don’t think it’s too much to ask for a well connected and established podcast network to staff professional, prepared, and well-spoken hosts.
Listening to a handful of other Locked On podcasts, I’d listen to this show so much more if the host would speak more professionally and prepare more for each episode; I don’t get any information or opinions from this show that I don’t already get from other podcasts and news casts.
Maybe a co-host would solve the issues? Maybe a co-host would shine a light on just how outclassed Trey Matthews is on the show.”

“I have yet to stomach a full podcast I liked it at first but the more I listened the more I can tell he couldn’t pronounce any of the players names or was knowledgeable about the team seems like he’s reading off cue cards then being a fan like he claims wish he learned player names and got a...”Read full review »
