“As a Boston sports fan I love this pod, but would it be possible for Spotify or The Ringer to make two versions and bleep out the F bombs? I hate having to listen to ESPN radio in the car with my eight and 10-year-olds.”

“This is a really good place for quality analysis on daily Boston sports news. It’s a new go to for me. Brian keeps you up on all the teams without having to watch every game or reading about them everyday.”

“Love how Brian incorporates stats into his angles and the program in general. My only real comment is that it feels a bit wordy, or like it’s trying to fill time in a 4 hour radio show sometimes, could be a bit crisper in this format. Thanks for the content!”

“But I really wish Brian would add an R to “frustrated” haha I physically react whenever he says it. I don’t know why but it bothers me to the point where I skip the Sox segments when I know he is probably very fustrated…”

“Barrett is articulate and intelligent, well versed in the details of all four major teams. He provides a fast-paced, wide-ranging review from the fans’ viewpoint. He backs up his observations with impressive statistics. The best Boston sports pod, a must-follow.”

“Brian Barrett is one of a kind. He has fiercely adopted a no-frills style and the substance here is so appreciated. He dives right into the content at the beginning of the show, and it is there every minute. He is the opposite of a shock jock. His analysis of the Boston teams is entire. He simply...”Read full review »

“I tried to like this pod but this guy only whines about the local teams and spew’s irrelevant statistics (“Hardaway shoots 38.3% on catch & shoots in the paint on weeknight games on the road” etc). Who frikkin cares!! Unlistenable”

“Love Boston sports. Love the ringer. Thought I’d love this podcast but the host is way too serious. I’ve listened to about 10 episodes and still haven’t heard him make a joke or do anything that shows he’s a human being and not a sports robot. I’m surprised that of all the Boston sports...”Read full review »

“Brian is a great host, knows his stuff, and has top guests, (Alex Cora, Pats players..) throws in stats, but not overwhelming. I like how they have same-day podcasts when there’s big news. I always check in with the podcast, esp now with the Mac Jones issue and the Ime Udoka suspension. He’s fun...”Read full review »

“I stopped listening to sports radio and switched to podcasts to avoid this exact show. Every episode is just how awful everything is with Boston teams. Patriots win, the next episode is called do we have a mac problem. If I wanted a show like this, I’d listen to WEEI. Hard pass.”

“I’ll say OtP has a lot of potential, because Bill and The Ringer are behind it. But I agree with another reviewer that it needs to improve pretty quickly to keep New England sports fans engaged.
Brian leans WAY too heavily on mind-numbing use of data for my taste. Where is the stories and...”Read full review »

“I was very excited for this podcast, but it needs to get better fast. Monologues of stats to open followed by cliched points and stories about Boston teams the knowledgable fans already know.”

“Prefers being negative and being down on all thing Boston sports. Portrays stats very one sided to make his arguments. Ex harsh on Chaim overall citing last off season which is fair but doesn’t give any credit to his good moves Whitlock workman trade etc. . Overall experience feels too much like...”Read full review »

“Brian’s content and knowledge are superb. WEEI’s loss is The Ringer’s gain. Would like to see Brian GM Boston’s four pro sports teams for a year. (Please minimize the gratuitous four letter words though; not necessary).”

“Brian is the worst sports talk host in America. While he quotes stats all the time, he uses one-sided stats that fit his argument and ignores the rest. He swings back and forth from day to day (sometimes inning to inning) about which players he likes and which ones “blow” as he says. His analysis...”Read full review »
