What listeners say

A curated, balanced selection of Apple Podcasts reviews.

Tom whipped that out when the Vrabel hire was gaining momentum, no doubt leaving his audience, save the Italian listeners, scratching their collective heads. And that’s part of the reason this is quality podcast—he gets ya thinking. Phil Perry, the senator, is also great. The two of them make a solid team. They don’t dive as deep as they used to (NFL news that’s not Patriot related is now nonexistent), thus the 4 star rating instead of 5. But it’s still a fun listen. I’m not a Pats fan and I still rarely miss a pod. A lot of other NFL team podcasts could learn a thing or three from this one. And, no, I won’t tell you the meaning of “capo di tutti capi”; I’ll make you look it up like I had to.

Yankee Doodle 30 · Apr 2025

As much of a dumpster fire as the Pats are, your discussion of the options for change was really enlightening. I used to think the Krafts’ were good owners but they are responsible for this wreck. How they could promise Mayo the head coach job when he hadn’t yet accumulated the experience is poor stewardship. If they keep Mayo for next season, the football overlord is their best hope but a slim one. I hate to see AVP be the scapegoat. He might be a much better OC if he had an offensive line and a couple of reasonable receivers (not all-pro, just ball catchers). I think the O line coach did a good job too given the revolving door of poor talent. league cast-offs. It will be interesting to see how all of this plays out. TN Pats Fan

This is a solid Patriots podcast with weekly updates and digestible episode length. The hosts are knowledgeable and credible journalists. Curran has good sources and was the first to break that Belichick would not return to the Pats.

Been listening since jump street. Came to leave a five star review simply because Curran saying “ESPN!” In the Jeremy Schapp voice has had me laughing for 45 minutes. Funniest moment on the podcast. Also- shoutout cousin Phil.

AJperry73 · Oct 2025

Once a sharp analyst, Tom E. Curran’s “Patriots Talk” has devolved into a bland echo chamber. After helping push Belichick out the door, you’d think Curran would at least maintain his edge. Instead, he’s now a soft PR machine for the very people replacing the legend he tore down. Curran’s critical eye has vanished, and his once-balanced takes have turned into hollow praise. The hard-hitting analysis that once made him worth listening to? Nowhere to be found. He’s more interested in protecting his access than calling it like it is. Skip this podcast unless you like recycled praise and tired narratives.

Jschaefe · Oct 2024

This used to be one of my favorite podcasts but Tom has become increasingly unfocused and non-sensical. In the latest episode he continuously harps on his pre-draft obsession of trading back for JJ McCarthy and a tackle, as if McCarthy would be a guaranteed answer at quarterback (ignoring the fact that JJ McCarthy won’t play a snap this year due to injury and that Maye has made consistent progress throughout camp). It was the wrong take prior to the draft and it’s still the wrong take. On top of that, he goes on a bizarre hypothetical rant about how Mac Jones could still be the quarterback here and they could draft other weapons. Uh what? It would be nice to gain actual insight on the array of roster decisions that the Patriots have made recently instead of discussing things that have been re-litigated over and over again all offseason.
