What listeners say

A curated, balanced selection of Apple Podcasts reviews.

Love the consistent content. Since the show and its related affiliate shows has grown in audience, there are more and more ads, but I guess that comes with it. The biggest issue I have listening to this show and especially the SEC SQUAD editions is the poor sound engineering. Especially when a group is speaking, one guy is yelling and loud and the next guy you can barely hear… Need better compression and someone watching the sound levels. Makes it very annoying to listen to.

I always enjoy listening to Eric. He is knowledgeable and shares good info. Doesn’t overload the listeners with a bunch of fluff. I like when he shares stats with us.

Eric is a great host and a very knowledgeable when it comes to Tennessee athletics! I’m an everydayer and always look forward to hearing our vol news! I’ve listened to conquest for years and it’s awesome that you are on that team! I know you have been for a while now. The reason for the dedication title is, I’ve been at work on nights or just been up late and get a notification that a new podcast is up and I appreciate your commitment to your career and passion! Thank you Cainer!

I love Eric’s breakdown of all the football material. He presents his analysis in a well rounded, grounded, non-exaggerated manner. In a fan base that tends to dramatize every little point about this football team, Eric always brings the facts! Keep it coming man!

Sometimes I happen to hear Eric on his morning show on my way into work. The next day, he talks about the same exact things on the podcast, which could be okay if he were not talking to himself or his morning cohosts. I guess it does make the job a bit easier given that he has to come up with something on the podcast daily, but it becomes redundant. Most Locked On podcasts I have listened to have 2 hosts, so that could help in this respect. Also, Eric has a tendency to talk about a relatively simple football concept and make it out to be something most people wouldn’t understand without attempting to explain it. You can either assume most people will get it and not explain it, or you can bring it up and then explain what it is, but you shouldn’t in any case talk as if most people don’t understand and then not attempt to explain it. As an aside, if you took a shot every time Eric uses “really really, “very very,” or some other adverb twice consecutively to describe something, you would blackout by the end of the podcast. It kinda comes off like someone writing an English paper in middle school.
