Off The Pike with Brian Barrett - Podcast Rankings and reviews

Brian is a great host, knows his stuff, and has top guests, (Alex Cora, Pats players..) throws in stats, but not overwhelming. I like how they have same-day podcasts when there’s big news. I always check in with the podcast, esp now with the Mac Jones issue and the Ime Udoka suspension. He’s fun to listen to, and you learn a lot.

Brian Barrett is one of a kind. He has fiercely adopted a no-frills style and the substance here is so appreciated. He dives right into the content at the beginning of the show, and it is there every minute. He is the opposite of a shock jock. His analysis of the Boston teams is entire. He simply does not settle for not knowing. He is relentlessly logical and analytical. He also comes across as a real person. Honest personally and objective about the issues. I have no allegiance to Boston sports but gravitate here nonetheless. Barrett lets his work speak for itself.

Barrett is articulate and intelligent, well versed in the details of all four major teams. He provides a fast-paced, wide-ranging review from the fans’ viewpoint. He backs up his observations with impressive statistics. The best Boston sports pod, a must-follow.

Love how Brian incorporates stats into his angles and the program in general. My only real comment is that it feels a bit wordy, or like it’s trying to fill time in a 4 hour radio show sometimes, could be a bit crisper in this format. Thanks for the content!

Love Boston sports. Love the ringer. Thought I’d love this podcast but the host is way too serious. I’ve listened to about 10 episodes and still haven’t heard him make a joke or do anything that shows he’s a human being and not a sports robot. I’m surprised that of all the Boston sports experts/personalities, this is who they chose as host. 🤷‍♂️🤷‍♂️🤷‍♂️
