What listeners say

A curated, balanced selection of Apple Podcasts reviews.

Best direct and to the point podcast in Bears land. The hosts share there observations and provide quick accurate analysis of each game. Well done!

MaybNexYr Bear fan 77 · Dec 2025

This is one of my favorite pods. Patrick and Jason (and sometimes Potsy) get right down to brass tax and don’t mince words when describing the ineptitude of this franchise. They will also point to the positives (seldom as we see any). Keep up the great work!

frameofjefference · Dec 2024

This podcast is all business, with almost no superficial fluff. The two reporters do an excellent job of providing useful, interesting, insightful information. I’ve listened to a couple other similar podcasts, and this one doesn’t waste my time with useless chatter.

Calif Bears fan · Nov 2024

Halas Intrigue has become my go to for Bears post game coverage. The hosts clearly know their stuff and are often hilarious. Plus, they’re writers and that makes an enormous difference when it comes to communication and analysis. Also, their mid-week prediction episodes are fantastic. Now, if they would just record a Fantasy Football podcast….

Pantene Minus · Oct 2022

I listen to 6 plus Bears pods and this one is hit or miss. While Potash is knowledgable and balanced Jason Lieser has no self-awareness whatsoever. He and his co-host attempt to ridicule the more senior and knowledgable Potash aparently oblivious to how ignorant and juvinile they come across. Lieser in particular comes across like a movie critic that thinks he should be Steven Speilberg
