Reviews

4.9 out of 5 stars from 326 ratings
  • This is a good source for Nashville Predators information. The current lineup with Max and Kara is solid and enjoyable to listen to. I'm glad they are back for a new season (24/25). šŸ’ To explain my 4 out of 5 ⭐ rating, the previous hosts were unlistenable and I went away. Prior to that the launch of the show with Brooks and Thomas was the absolute best 10/10. That OG version was so much fun & VERY interactive socially.

  • Premium Preds pod

    As a day 1 fan and a 21-year season ticket holder, I’m always looking for more sources of Preds news and the POP has been the most enjoyable I’ve come across. Thomas and Brooks are fun to listen to, shine the light on what’s good and don’t overly sugar coat the bad the way you might think an official team-produced pod would be tempted to. The interviews and the access to the team, coaches and front office really push this show to the first line among Preds podcasts. If I had to pick one minor qu... more
