A curated, balanced selection of Apple Podcasts reviews.
The audio quality of this pod is sometimes fine, and sometimes so bad. The most recent episode about WNBA rookies was so hard to listen to. In the middle of the podcast(7:40ish minutes in) they’re talking about whatever their watching. What?! This is a podcast, can you be focused on what you’re doing. They’re talking over each other, this episode was all over the place. You can hear sirens in the background🤦🏻♀️. This particular episode seemed like the main host was unprepared, and the episode as a whole had no flow. Really disappointing cause I’ve listened to multiple episodes and other hosts seem vastly more prepared and pardon the pun but they seem locked on to whatever they’re talking about. The only reason this is getting a three and not something lower is because I’ve listened to other episodes and the topics were interesting and the conversation had a natural flow, and everyone felt engaged and focused. When the people on the pod started commenting in whatever they were watching I was like ok, I need to review cause that was so bad, at least edit it out.

As someone getting into betting women’s college basketball, this pod is essential. They are informative and entertaining, a winning combo. I only wish Locked On had a daily WCB pod, as I don’t follow WNBA (I’d love to, this years 2 power teams scared off bettors. Need parity). Keep up the good work! WCB is great.

The content and topics are great but unfortunately the sound quality is so bad that it really takes away from the pleasure of listening to them to the point where you have to stop at times. Also reading 2 commercials in a podcast of 20min is not helpful.
If efforts were equally put into the sound as much as they already put into the interviews and their drive in highlighting women sports to the forefront then it would be a 5 star podcast
Daantidote · May 2022
Love the content but please take up a collection for new mics. The audio quality is so bad that I sometimes hesitate to listen if I’m doing something that doesn’t guarantee absolute silence. Can’t listen on a walk, for example. Please fix this and you will TRULY be everyone’s first listen every day! 😊 (Also, Emily Adler is rude, talking over everyone and making fun of takes she doesn’t agree with. It’s like she’s trying to create a brand and it’s not working. Emily, you obviously have skills, but you are being a try-hard and it’s abrasive. Going back in and downgrading my rating because listening to Emily is honestly impacting my enjoyment of the show.)
Lisa LR · May 2025
I was excited about this podcast but the more I listen, it doesn’t feel like emily respects her cohosts opinions enough to have true dialogue. The interruptions are distracting and I don’t feel like it provides good analysis. I also think trying to get listens by pushing nonsense about Paige and Dallas was clickbait at best. There is potential here, but some changes are needed.
SeaLane2222 · Apr 2025
Please please please improve your audio on this podcast. Using your computer microphone instead of an actual microphone for a podcast is not acceptable. Also, bring audio based content, think about how you are speaking. All the fast talking and mumbling makes for a really poor listening experience. I want to listen to the full episode but I almost give up part way through because I can’t understand and follow the discussion.
