If your a true die hard Detroit Lions fan then this is the only podcast you need. I live in Chicago now and grew up in Detroit with the Lions. I listen to every ” Locked on Lions “ podcast for over a year now. It’s real. No bull, by far the best and I’ve listened to all the other podcasts. This...Read full review »

Love it. Great podcast

I’ve been a lions fan since 1990, stumbled across the podcast during this last offseason and have been hooked ever since. It’s literally my first listen every day at work, love it

If you want to listen to someone whine anytime things aren’t perfect or if his opinion is criticized this is the show for you!
Jte2214 via Apple Podcasts · United States of America · 02/06/24
Dery is a decent podcast host but it’s clear he doesn’t have the passion. He doesn’t have the mindset or love for the team a real Detroit fan would. This makes it impossible to sit through some of his cold takes that aren’t even inherently football related. Dery would do worlds better covering...Read full review »

I decided to listen to this podcast to try a new lions podcast and this guy don’t know football. Want to pick up a pass rusher at the trade deadline, guess what, you trust the process. Don’t settle. Build through the draft.

I gave up after 2min. It’s 2023, step your game up. Please fix your sound/audio. It sounds like you are doing the pod inside a vending machine. I appreciate your effort but it sounds terrible.

Hot takes galore, poor analysis, and the snarkiest tone one could imagine. Like one of the other reviewers said below, I come back from time to time after being a subscriber and always regret it. Also -222 Rod Wood Drive isn’t funny. Like, at all. Let it go.

The Jamo hate is unreal, made me stop in the middle of the episode.
Schoey50 via Apple Podcasts · United States of America · 08/15/23
Matt Dery is the most professional/polished podcaster I’ve heard. Perfect blend between old school Radioish and modern podcasting. I love the show. He also shout out other Lions podcasts without fear of helping the “competition”. I’ve caught a couple of the YouTube shows and someone get Matt a...Read full review »

Once a month I try to give this show another listen, but I just can’t handle daily. It’s usually mid content between way to many teasers/commercials. 43% of the show is commercials and “coming up nexts…” *June 7 Show Starts* O:01-3:45: Commercial and Teasers 3:46-8:45: Content 8:46-11:20:...Read full review »

5 Stars my man, keep up the great work Dery even during the off season still giving us good content

Happy 50th Matt! Thanks again for the best Lions Pod!
wburgess7 via Apple Podcasts · Canada · 05/24/23
Like the Lions being a hard watch in the past, I thought show was a hard listen in its beginning. He sometimes mixed sports and social commentary. Dude is hitting it now. The guy got ripped for his mock draft but was it as eff’ed up as the reality? I listen to many other Locked On pods and Dery...Read full review »
FOFFPKING via Apple Podcasts · United States of America · 05/11/23
It’s sad but Dery used to be a decent listen while the Lions were a dumpster fire but he seems to suffer from “Battered Fan Syndrome.” His submission to the Locked On Draft Series in ‘23 for the Pitt DT at number 6 was rightly laughed at by actual football minds as he’s probably not even a first...Read full review »
BiggieBry via Apple Podcasts · United States of America · 04/25/23
There aren’t a ton of Lions podcasts, so as Lions fans who are hungering for content it’s easy to click on this because it’s daily. Every time I do, though, I almost immediately regret it. Dery consistently dishes out incredibly biased takes, and regularly puts his foot in his mouth (he even...Read full review »
Goblue85 via Apple Podcasts · United States of America · 04/21/23
Dery is one of the most fair lions podcast hosts there is. Bro was about to leave when we were 1-6 and stayed strong and watched the 8-2 down the stretch. He’s one is us for sure. Side note: the audio quality on the podcast has really gone downhill since the show went on YouTube tho. At least...Read full review »
Fusebabyyy via Apple Podcasts · United States of America · 03/30/23
Tried listening one more time and the guy has low energy, bad takes, and throws in dumb pc trash when he can to prove how big of a woke simp he is. Plenty of other lions podcasts you can listen to, I’d recommend over this one until they can this garbage host.
Iputonshirts via Apple Podcasts · United States of America · 03/10/23
The episode with Mike V was the final straw, I’m so glad I have found another Lions podcast to listen to because this is garbage
Maize And Blue via Apple Podcasts · United States of America · 01/20/23
Great 2022 for the Detroit Lions and I love listening to Matt Dery every week. Can't wait until next year!Read full review »
Joshdm23 via Apple Podcasts · United States of America · 01/10/23
I have listened to this podcast for years and it does help me stay aware of what is happening with the team but Lions fans deserve better. When the host threatened to quite the podcast if the team lost again, I started listening to the host of the Lions opposing team and I learned three things....Read full review »
Maximum IQ via Apple Podcasts · United States of America · 12/30/22
Matt has zero insight. Do not waste your time on this pod. There is no analysis, just Matt rattling off all the talking points he sees on other media outlets. On the rare occasion he actually makes his own “analysis”, it is so off base and outlandish that it makes me cringe. Basically 971 talk...Read full review »
Levi Bootcut via Apple Podcasts · United States of America · 12/06/22
This show is just full of commercials and the host does almost no research it literally seems as though he goes on the team website and just sees what they post or maybe on the team social media pages if you want to listen to a better podcast about the Detroit Lions there are a couple better ones
boofoorobo via Apple Podcasts · United States of America · 11/11/22
Matt Dery is great. Very informative, knowledgeable and entertaining. He is one of the better commentators.
McLitigate via Apple Podcasts · United States of America · 10/09/22
MD is balanced on the Lions. He doesn’t go too far one way or the other. Not a raving maniac.
MitchL24 via Apple Podcasts · United States of America · 09/27/22
No one, and I mean NO ONE, has a healthier view of the Lions than Dery. He’s not some bandwagon guy that tells those that drink the Kool-Aid what they want to hear. He’s not someone that is negative just to be negative. I mean, there have been a lot or reasons to be negative. He breaks down...Read full review »
reg_hartner13 via Apple Podcasts · United States of America · 09/22/22
He is literally negative on everything lions and has no knowledge of the game. Does he even watch.
tj 197234 via Apple Podcasts · United States of America · 09/14/22
Way too many commercials for a 30-minute podcast, kills the flow of the show. Too much “coming up next” teasing, this isn’t traditional radio, just get to it.
CallMeBeezy via Apple Podcasts · United States of America · 08/20/22
Only Lions dedicated podcast that I continuously listen to year after year. Matt does a great job!
BPR92 via Apple Podcasts · United States of America · 06/22/22
Perfect mix of news, guests, and opinions. Matt runs a great show both in and off-season. I love this show for my drive to work. It’s a great daily listen for me!
muvtsx via Apple Podcasts · United States of America · 06/12/22
I look forward to the podcasts. Too critical of what the Lions do. I like some of his insights, disagree with some. But again, I look forward to the new podcasts.
solic52 via Apple Podcasts · United States of America · 05/01/22
My main silver and honalulu blue warrior podcast for me here in the UK. Matt is entertaining and insightful. Not afraid to speak what he thinks, and always covers the points you want him to!
Reu6 via Apple Podcasts · Great Britain · 03/28/22
Unqualified, unobjectionable opinions that sound like jaded local sports radio in the low traffic time slot, but only one voice. Big pass.
Frinkinhard via Apple Podcasts · United States of America · 03/16/22
This show needs to dump Matt every time I come back to listen to this show I feel like this guy doesn’t even watch football and has no knowledge about the game terrible takes and I’m through until they change the host would give zero stars if I could. So please for the love of god locked on...Read full review »

I’ve been listening to Matt Dery and the Locked on Lions podcast for the past few years. You can tell Matt is a professional, especially when they do the crossover and you hear some of the other hosts. Matt is entertaining and produces the podcast on a regular basis. It’s nice to have this daily...Read full review »
Stevieo98 via Apple Podcasts · United States of America · 03/15/22
This podcast was talking and Jered Goff going to the Colts not about who might the Lions be targeting in free agency. I’m not going to tune in again.
NFL#1 via Apple Podcasts · United States of America · 03/12/22
Just got into Podcasts and I am a big Lions fan. This show is a great listen! (Bonus points for him also being a Cleveland Guardians fan too… same as me!)
Okudah_Matata via Apple Podcasts · United States of America · 03/11/22
I’ve listened to this pad cast for a couple of years now. Matt is just getting in my nerves. I get the jokes but enough. I’m done
jd eggsjnf t via Apple Podcasts · United States of America · 02/15/22
When I first subscribed to the podcast it was decent but lately I feel like I’m listening to 97.1. What could be analysis about the current state or trajectory of the team has turned into hot takes, opposing views and being butt hurt that people are Stafford fans outside of the Lions.
botanicodes via Apple Podcasts · United States of America · 02/15/22
Overall he does a very good job and listen to every pod. For the love of god though, can we get off the stafford topic and move on.
kyle hi. via Apple Podcasts · United States of America · 01/25/22
Nice daily dose of Lions. Usually pretty entertaining.
Eddy 987 via Apple Podcasts · Canada · 01/11/22
Some really lazy takes here. The show’s very light on content, though Dery seems to think that being loud and angry can make up for it. Spoiler alert: it can’t. If you want intelligent thoughts and insight, look elsewhere.
PoopGuy69 via Apple Podcasts · United States of America · 10/31/21
If you want Lions news youre going to get Lions news. Only two complaints are Matt sometimes seems like he hates the Lions and I cant stand the random little low voice thing he does.
SadLionsFan313 via Apple Podcasts · United States of America · 10/19/21
I get being critical of the Lions organization and the product that’s been put in front of us. But man, isn’t it supposed to be sometimes enjoyable to watch football and not dwell in that all the time? He’s forever harping on the team. It gets old, even for someone who harps on them plenty.
