I’ll be honest, I didn’t think Jake and James were the best podcasters when I first started listening. I’ve always been more of an Orange & Black Insider Podcast…which I’ll still listen to. But over time, these guys really grew on me. I’ll put it this way: Jake and James are each other’s Ying and Yang. Jake is CLEARLY the more introverted/reserved and frankly knows the X’s and O’s better off than James, whether it be football schematics or cap literacy. He’s a wealth of knowledge. James is a little less technical in his analysis, which isn’t a bad thing. He’s been a covering the Bengals for years as a sports journalist and he knows the inside scoop on things. He is often the one to break stories. He also has a knack for encapsulating Bengal’s takes in concise and memorable ways. He’s also goofy and hilarious, consistently making Jake uncomfortable throughout the show in playful ways. Next to Joe Goodberry & John Sheeran, this is an absolute must listen. My sports business and contract/cap knowledge has grown so much by listening to these two, and they further the typical Bengals fandom stereotype of dishing out content that’s anything but surface level. 5 starts. Definitely give them a listen.
For fun and informative Bengals talk. Jake and James do a great job of staying on top of the daily Bengals happenings, and bring in smart and knowledgeable football people to augment the show with segments on film study, the draft, free agency in all aspects, and even the workings of the salary cap. There are other good Bengals podcasts, of course, but Jake and James are my “ first listen” for all things Bengals.
I’ve been listening to James and Jake for 3-4 years. They’re very connected to the team, are regulars at Bengals press conferences and provide good analysis every day. If you listen to them you’re in the loop. The podcast is well-planned and presents good topics. Also, the guys are accessible to their listeners and regularly engage their audience directly. Jake has DM’d me a few times responding to my inquiries. They’ve also addressed my questions on the podcast. This is the only Bengals cast worth my time. I hope they keep it up for a long time. Good guys.
Locked on Bengals is the place to go for all of your Bengals news and information. James and Jake are plugged into everything Bengals and share that info like we are in the room with them. It’s the first thing I listen to every morning, and never disappoints!
The commercials in the podcast are jarringly loud at times. This means the levels on the hosts’ audio needs to come up to meet the level of a proper commercial podcast. While I enjoy the podcast itself, I am reminded of this audio issue EVERY SINGE LISTEN when some randomly inserted ad for a bank or credit card comes screaming through my speakers. All they need to do is add a few dB of limiting at the end o their audio signal chain to reach the proper LUFS to fix this and I’ll give them 5 stars.
Guys, you have great information but the entertainment value is severely lacking. Have been listening frequently for 2 years but I must admit I find myself only doing so because I can find the information here, not because it’s a fun listen. Frequently, I will turn it off and go elsewhere because the audio is just boring or awkward. James needs more energy. Jake has great energy but is way too aware of the audience. You cap every joke or jab of energy with an explanation to the audience. Don’t explain your jokes it’s very awkward. Just keep moving. Overall, LOB is a very good place to get bengals information but really I would expect better chemistry from the hosts for an overall better entertainment product.
