Why would you give Matt Jones any air time to speak about the Cincinnati Reds? He’s a tag a long fan who doesn’t care if they win or lose. That’s literally what he says on his radio show. He stared in a Netflix show called WRESTLERS and did he wear Reds gear? No, he wore Philadelphia Phillies gear. To let that clown speak on anything Reds related is ridiculous. He doesn’t even go to half of the Home Reds games. If you needed a Real Cincinnati Reds fan who’s a season ticket holder, I know 10 people who would love to your show. Not now though

Great podcast for Reds fans. Audio quality is consistently poor.

I was trying to find a Reds podcast to listen to, and thought I’d found one. However , on my third episode, hearing the male host talk about how we should bring Trevor Bauer back was insulting to half the reds fan base, at least. It’s disgusting, and not a cute hot take. Guess I’m back looking to what reds podcast I should listen to

Been listening for about a few years now and used to enjoy it. But anymore it’s nothing but negative whining. Just sale the show Chad, it’s not good anymore.

What happened to “boycott the Reds”? What happened to “Nick Krall is over his head” and “He hasn’t made a trade that I didn’t think he got hoodwinked”? Every single move he made in 2022 made sense at the time, and they look better every day since. You guys are the epitome of the dumb baseball fan. That 2022 team was not going to win. I loved Winker and Suarez. I was sad to see them go. The Reds are where they are this year BECAUSE of the moves Nick Krall made. His drafts have been fantastic. His trades were tough medicine, but they had to be made. You should be forced to live up to your promise to never go back to a Reds game. Now you’re cheerleaders. Pathetic.

I’ve been listening for several years now and I enjoy knowing that heading into the weekend I’ve got a fresh episode available of the “world’s most dangerous podcast.” This podcast is a great mix of current Reds news and analysis, along with humor and even some fun like movies and Simpsons references. Chad and Nate are regulars, but so many other guests are great like Jason, Bill, some attorney from the Columbus-area (kidding—Chris), and Doug. This podcast is a lot of fun, and if you join “the family” via Patreon then you can ask questions and interact in Slack, along with other perks. Highly recommend!!.

Put Bill lack on more! He is great!!!!!!

I am a lifelong Reds fan and I appreciate Chad and the crew giving us an informative podcast from their perspectives as Reds fans. I only regret that I will no longer be listening to them as I will be completely boycotting the Reds. The incompetence and apathy shown by the Castellini crew has finally gotten the best of me. In closing SELL THE F’n TEAM BOB!!

Props to those who place themselves in the arena, but after years of on/off listening to this podcast, I simply can’t take it anymore. The hosts (most of them) are so often wrong and off base (no pun intended) that’s it’s simply too difficult to listen to, especially an entire episode. History shows they are grossly wrong a vast majority of time; it’s just not enjoyable.

Too many baseball podcasts are either too stat heavy, trying too hard to be funny, or just boring. Redleg Nation Radio is none of those things. Chad’s love and passion for the team is clear from the jump, but he’s by no means a total homer. Criticism of ownership and the team is objective and fair, but he also does a great job of highlighting the positive aspects of the team. Naturally funny. Great listen.

I really enjoy the podcast to stay up to date on Reds discussion. The banter is usually pretty entertaining, as well. Satisfied subscriber in GA, who grew up in West Virginia which is also really “Best Virginia”, the state next to East Virginia. Go Reds, and go UMBC!

Longtime viewer. This is like a weekly therapy session for Reds fans, to help us work through the depression and despair.

Ironically, I’m also here for a random shot at where I live, just like the review right before me. I’m from Scottsdale, Arizona and Chad’s response to a listener email complaining about spring training being in Arizona was irksome. Goodyear is stunning, and some of my happiest days as a Red’s fan have been at spring training. Florida has its benefits I’m sure, but there’s nothing like a 70 degree, breezy, rainless Arizona spring day nestled in the mountains at Goodyear. Be better, Chad!

Chad, I like your show, but sometimes you speak out of both sides of your mouth. Another huge thing you do is take something and take it as fact, but take it out of context. Example..Nightingale was saying if the guys return to their “average” career starts things should be significantly better. You say things like they’re going to go from .212 to .275 like right?!?! You’re like, give me a break!!!! However, he’s not saying that. He is saying if they return to the stats on the back of their baseball card throughout their career 2020 was an aberration. Come on Chad. You’re better than that! I’m not saying they’re going to win the WS, but I don’t feel they’re going to be a dumpster dive team either.

Love the pod! But possibly being the only Buffalo-based listener, I need to say we have a few things to offer: food that’s out of this world, passionate sports fans, and the friendliest of neighbors. That’s about it. No offense taken. Keep up the great work, Chad and crew!

I’m a longtime blog viewer on Wordpress and y’all have always come through on Reds news and Podcasts.

Can’t listen to Chad’s negativity any more.

I really enjoy this podcast! Great and humorous coverage of the Reds and sometimes other topics! #hashbrownviewermail

Let’s go reds! This is our year 2020!! The new big red machine! Thanks for the show!

I listen to you every time I do my daily runs. You make a painfully no fun thing enjoyable. I’m sure people I pass think I’m a bit as I run and laugh through the whole thing!!

Thank you for your podcast. I enjoy your coverage of my favorite team - the Reds!! I hope you keep it going!

Great job by Chad. One of the best podcast hosts out there. I like how they break down the team and use analytics to explain things.

Not even a reds fan yet my favorite baseball podcast. Love their insight and coverage of the reds. This podcast has made me a NL Reds fan. Follow the team now and stay up to date with this pod. Will recommend to friends. Keep up the good work.

This review would get a bonus star if they discussed Lisalverto Bonilla more.

Maybe they aren’t COMPLETELY locked on the Reds, but that’s what makes them so dangerous! I love this podcast!

Great podcast. Listen every week.

Enjoy tuning in every Friday morning! Love Chad and everyone who joins him!😁😁

Somehow we get a lot of UVA and hash brown talk. But hey I love it anyway! 🤷🏾‍♂️

Best Reds pod cast.

5 Stars because it’s the most dangerous podcast that’s topics aren’t necessarily “locked on” the reds, but all things interesting including eating, traveling, and music preferences.

The host is Chad Dotson the author of the phenomenal book The Big 50: The Men And Moments that Made the Cincinnati Reds. The podcast is a must for those who are fans of the Cincinnati Reds. Dotson is very knowledgeable and quite entertaining when discussing the Reds. He, however, is often very wrong about movies, music etc. Fortunately there is a rotating Cast of cohost who are there to correct him when he strays. If you have an even tangential interest in the Reds, this podcast will be the best hour you spend all week. Highest possible rating, #listenermail forever.

This Podcast has a large place in my heart and make following a generally losing team so interesting. They give me hope in most seasons when there is none. Thanks guys! Viewer mail is the best!

One of my favorite weekly podcasts. Chad Dotson and his rotating co-hosts do a great job. Chad’s accent is ridiculous. The weekly shoutout to Philip Raisor equals downloads

Funny and informative conversation for true fans of the Cincinnati Reds and Lisalverto Bonilla.

I’ve never felt the need to rate a podcast but felt obligated to help cancel out the bizarre 1 star review by a guy who doesn’t even know what he’s listening to. I look forward to listening to thoughtful and rational Reds conversation every Friday and hope Chad continues to keep the podcast running for a long time. Plus as an added bonus he put me into Jason Isbell.

Screw that 1 star review guy. This is the best Reds podcast there is! Go Reds!!

I’ve written multiple handwritten letters that have been read on this podcast. Chad’s southern accent could make a tiger purr. Always love hearing Bill talk about watching Ted Williams play from his childhood. FYI this isn’t the “Locked in Reds” podcast.

Not radio. I deducted one star.

I tuned in this morning and was devastated that this “locked on Reds “ is now “ locked in Cincinnati “ and the Bengals were the subject . When the podcast becomes Locked on Reds again let me know and I will start to listen again . PLEASE !

Williams has to say Senzel’s demotion was not service time related or they would have violated CBA. I like the podcast but would like it more with less of the 2nd grade attempt at sarcastic humor.

Any chance you could do an episode without whining about Senzel? Make the point and move on...

Chad and guests create the best content regarding the reds. Their discussions are thought-provoking, and interesting. #viewermail

This podcast has gone downhill since they fired Chris Garber, but it’s still pretty great.

Easily one of the most dangerous podcasts around. My cat like reflexes help me navigate the pod each and every week. If you were not blessed in the same way, or are prone to clumsiness please download with caution. You will be glued to your pod machine each and every week as you view Chad and his band of brothers provide intriguing analysis of the team known as the Cincinnati Reds. You will learn about the men and moments that have shaped the reds storied past and get a glimpse of the teams future. This pod has changed my life. Bravo Redleg Nation. Bravo.

Great podcast Listen every week Go Reds!!!

This is my favorite Reds podcast, with great analysis from a number of contributors, a really good host with a good mix of fun & serious information, and the always entertaining #ViewerMail.

Hey all, love the show. Solid analysis and funny banter. I’m a big Chad fan, but my wife finds his accent confusing. They really need to work in more exclusive content on Philip Raisor, because Raisor = downloadz. Regardless, I’m a big fan and I highly recommend this podcast

This is the only sports podcast I listen to. The sound quality is much better than the Buster Olney podcast. Also, it’s funny, and really the only essential Reds podcast out there.

Chad and his guests do a great job of keeping fans up to date with club information. They are informative and knowledgeable in their discussions. The podcast is funny and I enjoy the back and forth that Chad and the other guests have with each other. Definitely hit the subscribe button if you are a Cincinnati Reds fan.

Excellent for both the information conveyed and because of the folks involved. Obviously great fans of the team and loving what they're doing, all involved seem very knowledgeable and bring passion and humor to very discussion. If you like the Reds, this podcast is well worth your time.
