What listeners say

A curated, balanced selection of Apple Podcasts reviews.

This is the best show on Boston radio I listen to it everyday and if I miss it I listen to it later on in the day. I never miss a show! The only problem I have with it is the volume of the show it’s self. The ads are so much louder than the guys. When I’m driving I have to have the radio turned up all the way to hear them and turn it down as soon as an ad starts. A “With Hardy” needs to be added to the show and honestly I have no complaints about anything the show does. It’s always entertaining and I appreciate the effort from everyone who works on the show

This is a great show, definitely my favorite on the hub! However, as some comments have noted, the editing needs a bit of work. Segments are awkwardly interrupted and/or repeated and mixed up regularly.

Anm151019 · Jan 2021

As other reviewers note, portions of the show are repeated on consistent basis due to poor editing. Really unprofessional sounding and an aggravation for the listener for an otherwise excellently produced program. Can’t complain too much as this podcast is free, but c’mon you’re a professional radio station with what I’m sure is excellent editing equipment. You can cut and splice better than this?! That said, best sports radio show in Boston hands down.

vpalmieri · Dec 2020

I used to only listen to Patriots Unfiltered but found this. Really glad I did. What a good complementary team. Bertrand is full of common sense and humanity and principle. I liked his viewpoints right away. His reactions to the whole AB debacle/roller coaster sold me permanently. Winning is great but not at the expense of morality. So took me longer to warm up to but he is now a favorite. I like his passion and knowledge about football and the Pats in general. I now like his commentary so much that I watch the games on tv but with the sound off but with Zo and Socci calling the game on 98.5 Thanks for all you do, guys!

Elle in Maine · Dec 2019

Unless you have an unhinged obsession with listening to sports talk radio every day, this show is absolutely unbearable now. Beetle constantly talks over co-hosts and guests, particularly when he’s backed into a corner and is losing a debate. He sounds like the fat kid who got constantly bullied in school and wants everybody to know it. Gave up on this show years ago, went back today to try it out one more time and he is worse than I ever remember. And Zo is ostensibly a Pats employee paid to tell you everything is fine with the franchise. Don’t waste your valuable time anymore, you deserve better.

Tony M 85 · Apr 2025

This used to be my favorite Podcast. Unfortunately the volume of ads has increased to the point that the show is no longer consumable. Time to move on.
