What listeners say

A curated, balanced selection of Apple Podcasts reviews.

PDOcast is one of the best national hockey podcasts out there. Their interview questions are well thought out and insightful in a way that brings out great responses from their guests. This entire summer series has been an amazing listen.

UtahCanuck · Jul 2025

Scouting grades: Fastball: 80 | Curveball: 70 | Slider: 60 | Control: 40 | Overall: 55 This podcast separates itself from the rest with a truly elite fastball. Once its secondary stuff and control comes around it will legitimately be one of the faces of the league. All jokes aside, absolutely love listening to the PDOcast.

DekeFreak · Jun 2025

The PDOcast is the best NHL podcast because they’re focused on stats, strategy and players play on the ice. This is the show that breaks down everything on the ice through stats and player abilities. I’ve become a smarter fan because of this podcast.

KelliX84 · Apr 2025

One of the best pods for hockey sickos. Dim is a great host, and fills out his conversations with others as passionate about analyzing the NHL game as he is. I suspect his star will only continue to rise in hockey media circles, and I look forward to listening to his content for years to come.

RambleOnRoss · Jul 2024

Fairly new hockey fan here. Found this pod on a Reddit recommendation list. Dimitri does a great job merging informational with entertaining. Will continue to listen!

DallasDolly87 · Jun 2025

I like the analytics of the show and there is really good content, but Dimitri really needs to tone down the arrogance. It’s especially on display when Thomas Drance is on the show as they tend to feed off each other, bashing teams, players and NHL executives. Maybe that sells, but you can count one guy that’s turned off by this arrogance. Please take this as constructive feedback as I like the show, but Thomas has to go.
