  • Enjoy the show but …

    On location shows - background noise is always distracting and annoying - much like the eating on air. Outside of that content is good.

  • Unlistenable

    Hernan Salas is the absolute worst part of the show and the single biggest reason I can’t listen for more than 5 minutes

  • Could be great

    Not quite as good as it was back before EST. Before it was a short, concise show that got right to the point. Now, it’s loaded with lots of random banter and ads, and will it or won’t it have Dusty. Still a solid pod, just lots of fluff between Oilers talk and Dusty only around half the time.

  • Entertaining and informative

    Really enjoy the podcasts - especially when Dusty is on and puts grumpy fans in their place! Both Tom and Dustin are excellent. Please stop YouTube Trev from talking. He makes a good point and then keeps talking and talking and talking. 😱 please stop him.
