Even when the play on the field is severely lacking.

New to baseball and these guys do a good job not getting too into the weeds with whats going on. Keeps me informed

Last year has by far been the least I’ve ever followed the team due to a combo of their play and personal issues. This is my first return to any Sox podcast for about 9-10 months. I wouldn’t kick it off with any other show to get caught up on the Good, Bad and Ugly than Sox Machine! Your pal,...Read full review »

Great content, and allowing that I don’t know how difficult it is to speak for an hour straight, Jim, please stop using like as a filler word. It’s very distracting, and takes away from the point you are making.

What a bunch of leftist, progressive blather! From myth-making about owner collusion to, like two Puritanical ninnies, pedantically talking down to their audience as if they are kindergarteners (remember to wear your mask when Frau Lightfoot let’s you back into GRF), Sox fans deserve better then...Read full review »

Thank you, Josh and Jim, for your continuing deep analytical evaluation of this awful team and organization. It saddens me greatly that my favorite sports team has regressed to this degree and I can’t imagine how frustrating it is for the two of you to cover them in so much depth day in and day...Read full review »
White Sox 2020 via Apple Podcasts · United States of America · 10/27/23
I like the format and structure of this podcast. The analysis is good and they strike the right mix of qualitative assessments with advanced stats to understand and explain what’s happening with the team. Jim Margalus is great and always has thoughtful insights to break down the current issues...Read full review »

I used to have a hard time waiting for Jim to finally get to his point but I found this to be almost comical. I didn’t think the co-host would be the one to drive me away but, congratulations Josh, you did it. Obviously you have been spending too much time hanging around WSCR because those...Read full review »
Jack1669 via Apple Podcasts · United States of America · 02/20/23
Some really good info and topics. Lots of knowledge from both Josh and Jim. However! They really need to edit this podcast because at times it’s borderline unlistenable. Particularly when Jim “you know” can’t get a thought across concisely or goes off on nonsensical tangent. 5 stars if they...Read full review »

Josh and Jim have done an excellent job in breaking down key moments in individual games and series. No sugarcoating here, just lots of fun conversations and digging deep with advanced stats is a major plus. Even their coverage during the off-season helps make the time go a bit smoothly,...Read full review »

They are always going to shoot you straight. Jim and Josh provide an interesting perspective.

Very informative
luksli81 via Apple Podcasts · United States of America · 05/04/22
Great podcast for all things Sox. Both Jim and Josh are great hosts and the podcast is straightforward, informative, and entertaining. There’s no gimmicks or yelling and screaming for just for the sake for it. Love it.
jns75 via Apple Podcasts · United States of America · 04/15/22
Great podcast for Sox content but they take money from predatory sports betting companies. Literally give them money and I guess they’ll say whatever you want. That’s why I give them two stars. It’s filled with ads which I’m fine with but once he starts shoving the lies about how easy it is to...Read full review »

The song the same song, been listening since 2015. They find a way to be equally pessimistic as when the Sox were in pre-rebuild stages of their franchise.

go listen to locked on sox. at least there Herbie is a lib but he doesn’t scorn those who aren’t like josh does.
not mcafee via Apple Podcasts · United States of America · 10/14/21
Love the insights most of the time but they seem to spend more time bashing Sox players instead of uplifting. I’m all for constructive criticism but the hatred for certain players and coaches are a real downer. The only thing missing from them and Cubs minions is if they yapped about...Read full review »

Djb8914 via Apple Podcasts · United States of America · 05/25/21
The podcast is great! Quality baseball talk that’s easy to get into. Honestly, the podcast is your one stop shop for White Sox news, interviews, analysis, and more!
Sox Villager via Apple Podcasts · United States of America · 04/21/21
It’s simply the best sox podcast there is. They provide intelligent timely analysis that leaves you a more informed fan. Keep up the good work.
Mots250 via Apple Podcasts · United States of America · 12/08/20
I’ve been listening to the Pod since it started and have been reading Jim since the original Sox Machine. Having moved away from the south side I don’t get to see many games so most of my Sox coverage is mediated by Josh, Jim and Pnoles and it is appreciated. I always look forward to seeing new...Read full review »

This podcast is essential listening for White Sox fans. Brings me a lot of what I need to hear down in Australia!
Bruce Stadium via Apple Podcasts · Australia · 09/23/20
Both this podcast and the website soxmachine.com are the best sources for White Sox news and analysis on the web. Great production value as well. I’ve been following Jim and Josh since the beginning and appreciate all the blood sweat and tears they’ve put into this project.
bafinaire via Apple Podcasts · United States of America · 08/31/20
Been a listener for a couple of years now and the podcast has been pretty brutal at times this year. Take the most recent podcast as an example. This past 7-10 days has been easily the most exciting stretch in the last decade. A no hitter. A player of the week. Taking 2 out 3 from the Cubs ...Read full review »
ltw001 via Apple Podcasts · United States of America · 08/28/20
So disappointed that Josh feels the need to editorialize his personal political and societal views on a baseball podcast. He is insufferable. Jim is more subtle. Still, I don’t listen to sport podcasts to hear sociology lectures or woke social criticism. They take the joy out of baseball. I...Read full review »

As a White Sox fan in New England, I feel like I’m a rare breed. I really enjoy your podcasts, I learn something new, and usually agree with the co-hosts (or maybe they agree with me!). 😷 Keep up the good work!

Terrible show...done with it

My name is Miro and I’ve been a closet listener since day 1. It’s to the point that I always thought I left a review and just today I scrolled down and realized I never did!! These guys here at Sox Machine are as real as it gets. They are fans but also aren’t biased, which is important. There are...Read full review »
Miro708 via Apple Podcasts · United States of America · 03/17/20
These guys are real fans and are not afraid to criticize the club. They know their stuff. Best Sox pod out there.
Shane2772 via Apple Podcasts · United States of America · 11/27/19
I listen to many Chicago sports pods and this has been my favorite for about 4 years now. Entertaining, great guests, interesting insight, fun banter. Thanks everyone!
pelopota via Apple Podcasts · United States of America · 08/01/19
Jim’s good that’s about it.
benelliecoconuts via Apple Podcasts · United States of America · 05/12/19
Podcast is slow and there’s way too many advertisements!
iPhone , via Apple Podcasts · United States of America · 05/09/19
This is the best White Sox podcast out there hands down. I followed them when they were on South Side Sox and back to Sox Machine. Great guests and breakdown of the team during the season and offseason.
Brad2169 via Apple Podcasts · United States of America · 02/15/19
This is perfect for busy Sox fans during the rebuild. Josh and Jim do a great job of balancing their coverage of the MLB club with insight on prospects climbing the ranks. Nice work! 👍 That Joe Ostrowski guy is really good with the sports betting stuff but he probably smells. 😄
Joe Ostrowski via Apple Podcasts · United States of America · 09/11/18
In the White Sox rebuild era, there are a lot of questions and Jim and Josh provide great insight. Their content extends outside the Southside of Chicago to the rest of the MLB and Minor Leagues, overall a great baseball podcast.
knc21 via Apple Podcasts · United States of America · 07/27/18
If you’re a dedicated Sox fan who like me follows the South Side and all the minor league affiliates during the rebuild process, this is a MUST listen. Added it to my morning routine a while back and it hasn’t disappointed!
J4149 via Apple Podcasts · United States of America · 07/26/18
He spent all this time ranting how bad the Sox are and kept going on and on about it. Besides that pretty good.
LossOh via Apple Podcasts · United States of America · 06/11/18
I subscribe to a few White Sox focused podcasts and this is the one I listen to as soon as a new one is available. Good way to keep track of what is going on in Chicago and the minors. I’m loving their discussions/speculation of the 2019 and beyond roster. Good guests that add solid content and...Read full review »

One of my favorite podcasts. Great at up dating on the minor leagues

I cannot speak highly enough about this podcast, and the website itself. Jim and Josh find a wide array of White Sox and baseball related topics to discuss and give knowledgeable insight to, bring on a plethora of interesting guests from within the White Sox organization or from the general...Read full review »

It is great to be able to focus on White Sox talk during my commute to work everyday. There is a good mix of current team information along with prospect updates.

This is the best place for unbiased Sox news. They have great guests and the production value is fantastic!

Pohodo3 via Apple Podcasts · United States of America · 09/14/17
This is a really great podcast for those who want to follow the White Sox closely. They provide a balanced perspective on all things Sox, and they do really well covering the minor league affiliates. The Sox have a lot of potential right now, and these guys help you stay up to date with the...Read full review »

I could talk at length about the quality of the guests or about the passion that Josh and Jim bring to the show, but what makes this podcast so special is how it evolves to better suit the listeners' needs. A week's worth of games is too much to recap once a week? Fine, let's create a...Read full review »
