Locked On Bears - Daily Podcast On The Chicago Bears - Podcast Rankings and reviews

I like that these are produced so frequently (usually at least every weekday sometimes more). Very well researched and thought out. He is passionate but also objective. Each episode is usually 25-30 minutes which I really like. So many analysts are too wordy. A minor criticism is that the amount of promotion time seems like quite a lot for a short podcast. I appreciate that he has bills to pay and I really don’t mind promotions it just seems like a large amount of time is allocated for them. Still, definitely a 5 star podcast.

No one works harder to go in depth covering the Bears than Lorin. Provides honest, cogent analysis in a sea of homerism.

It’s simple, it’s clear, and it’s smart. Every Bears fan should listen.

This pod feels like a high school sophomore trying to pad a 2 page essay into 10 pages. There are too many instances in any given episode where the host rephrases the same point over and over again...either to pad the run time for ad revenue, or because he’s unprepared with his own talking points.

For example, the host ate up about 2-3 minutes of airtime today asking people to send in voicemails of how they felt about the Fields pick, so he could identify why this pick felt different than other QBs drafted by the Bears. That should be a 15 second request max. There is no reason to obsess over it and restate it multiple times, especially when it takes up a fifth of your show’s run time.

This podcast is too short for the amount of advertisements. The topics are not very in-depth and simply rehash information found by searching “#Bears” on Twitter. They should do 2 - 3 longer episodes that are more in depth and interesting.
