  • Chess2421
    Repetitive
    This whole show his him just repeating the same topic and reusing the same phrases with slightly different wording lol
  • SharkFart
    So many ads and no new info
    As a huge Pelicans fan I’m always looking for any podcast coverage featuring them. I keep trying this one and it always disappoints. For a 30 minute podcast, 10 minutes are ads which is a slog to listen to. There is never any new information, other podcasts cover them much better. I’d recommended “From the Wing” and “The Pelicans Podcast” to their fans looking for Pelicans content.
  • TBoss520
    Reds to be better
    He needs to update shows right after games And stop taking the weekends off we want locked on pels on game day. You can learn a lot from locked on Mavs or even locked on lakers. That’s how you do a show.
  • GSW annnn
    Love show
    Get Zach Edey he’s so talented really good in the paint he can hit hooks use his size and hit shots over others. Defensively he can block a ton of layups he started the basketball championship blocking two shots.Really good player in the paint. I think underrated aspect of his game is his screens that he did with with Braden smith or Loyer. This would maybe just draw a double he can kick it out Zion could then scoop it to the basket might be the steal of the draft even though he’s 2 times best college player of the year. GET HIM
  • Kase50
    Won’t bow down
    Been a ‘almost’ daily listener for four years now. I listen to the other teams podcasts also. This one is definitely a cut above. Well written and organized and as much balance as expected from a team podcast. A+
  • Awesome but needs work
    Best info out there
    Jake does the best job of breaking down new orleans pelicans. It’s my go to!
  • CubUgly
    Keep the passion Jak
    Jake brings a passion and dedication to this that you Don’t really see on all podcasts such as these. He really loves the Pels and doing this podcast and it shows. I don’t always agree with his takes but that’s fine - there will always be different opinions on sports. Keep bringing that genuine passion Jake and all will be fine.
  • Reyes Aruba
    great show
    great show i listen to the show to keep up every day , all the way fron Aruba .
  • Jspur30
    The show Pels fans want & need
    Top notch show. This is the info that pelicans fans want and need
  • Kentfor
    Locked on Pels
    Jake is there with reasonable insight. His manner is calm, and prepared. Many of the podcasts are just “foul-mouthed-listen-to-me”blow hards. Locked on Pelicans is a cut above.
  • djdjwkapxjdhwlsks
    Great job Jake!!!👍👍
    Very insightful, gives you awesome Pels content without droning or political talk. This is the best Pels pod out there!
  • NachoLibre190
    Good pod
    I am a mavs fan but I love the pelicans as well. This host is professional and excellent. 10/10 would recommend.
  • Aubree lover
    Zion lover
    I think you should let Zion too the nets and have Keven go to the pelicans
  • tmaccc9412
    Good show; bad trade.
    Great show. Generally agree with your takes but ngl I think trading for Mitchell would be a terrible idea. Giving up two potentially elite role players on rookie deals who play good to great D for one max level dude who doesn’t defend? That ain’t it.
  • Tharealjimshady
    Jake locked on pels
    Love the show watch it everyday bro keep it up
  • S-DotMusic
    Outstanding Pels Pod!
    Followed Jake for years on Twitter but never had time to add this pod to my daily listen, just too many. Wanted a good draft lottery preview/review and nobody else there had good recent content. This is a must listen, every episode, for any Pels fan. Outstanding job Jake! #Pels12
  • ATray IV
    My go to Pels Pod
    Jake is synonymous with the Pelicans now. Must listen daily. A+

    Awesome
  • CreamyBananna337
    Amazing Listen On The Pels
    This show is 10x better than the official NOLA Pelicans podcast. Locked On Network is your best choice for all your sports teams. I listen to BOTH Locked On Pelicans & Locked On Saints. Keep up the good work!!!
  • 13Gordon!
    Pels Gold!!
    IMO Best Pels Pod out there!
  • sean_c375
    Great show
    Keep up the good work. I listen daily
  • Popunkid
    Best Pels POD around.
    Jake delivers an honest take, which I appreciate. He also is great at interacting with listeners (via YouTube) which isn’t just rare, but also very appreciated as he has implemented improvements based on feedback and further insight which brings interactivity to the (usually) ho-hum landscape of sports media. Fly or die, Jake! Cheers 🥂
  • Elle_mmnnoopp
    New “Season Ticket-Holder”
    Thank you for this podcast! Keeps me updated with the team before I go watch them play. Also gives me good talking points with my husband!
  • dweeler
    Hey Jake Madison
    5 stars awarded! Hello from a Locked on Mavericks listener. I listened to an entire episode and really appreciated that episode. It was a good episode. I am sorry for the loss against the wizards of Washington. May the podgods bless you and your team this season (unless you’re playing the mavericks.) have a great day and go pelicans and Mavs.

    Great Show
    Awesome show
  • medgolfer
    Great podcast
    Jake gives good, concise info on the Pelicans 5 days a week.
  • D harris
    Best of the bunch!!!
    All of the Pelicans podcasts are good but “Locked On” is the best by far. If you like digging deeper and getting into numbers and facts and not just opinion this is the one to listen to.
  • ParkerBasketball
    Great listen
    Thanks for helping fill in for my Pelicans news daily and allowing me to get info I normally don’t hear on the local news or national news for that matter! Great listen and lots of information!
  • JP D.
    Great Listen
    Love the content
  • xast7
    Love it!
    First thing I turn on when I wake up throughout the week is this podcast! Jake does a great job of breaking down current NBA and Pelicans events and is a straight shooter when it comes to the state of the team! If you’re a Pelicans fan, you won’t regret adding this your podcast or YouTube subscription list!
  • oceanback
    Locked on Pelicans!
    Jake Madison will provide great insight during draft week, free agency, and summer league, just as he provides during the NBA regular season. His podcasts are concise and not too long. Don’t know how he does this 5 days a week!
  • pelsfan87
    Locked on Pelicans
    While I don’t always agree with Jake, he brings it every day with tons of energy and insight. The best daily sports podcast I’ve heard.
  • htownbrookstown
    Best coverage of the Pelicans
    U have the best daily coverage by far. Thanks
  • shake milton
    Adds adds adds
    The show is 80% adds.
  • LA Trauma Doc
    Jake for the win!
    Awesome work!
  • Real_Skywalker_99
    Welcome to reality
    Latest is podcast whining about the refs for like 20min due to a REALLY BAD no call on Zion. The NBA refs are terrible across the league. This is a sore looser podcast just like the looser Pels. How about don't be down by 9 points with 45 seconds to go, and take care of the darn ball? SVG is a terrible coach and is wasting Zion's talent, he will likely leave for the Knicks in 3-4 years like AD did, if the Pels don't get SVG out ASAP. The Pelicans have severly underpreformed this year, that's the bigger story.

    Jake is the best! Love it!

    Fair Takes and Great Game Previews
    This podcast is my favorite way to keep up-to-date with what’s happening with the Pelicans. NOLA Jake does a great job of giving really solid game previews and analysis. He also has great takes that even non-Pelicans fans could agree with. He isn’t completely non-biased (nor should he be). You can only truly and fairly criticize what you care about deeply, and NOLA Jake cares about the Pelicans.
  • hhun ter
    Awesome Pod
    Jake brings it every day
  • ragamuffin rider
    good show, but…
    aside from the intermittent profanity, this is a good show, i am learning a lot about basketball from Jake. however, i rarely watch a Pels game live, mainly due to my work schedule. i record whatever games are available in this time zone (PST) and watch when i can. sometimes, it takes two sittings to get an entire game in, so i am often disappointed when i scroll thru my podcast feed. while looking for something to play during my 1-hour commute, if this’d passes across the screen after a game, the title often reveals the outcome. sometimes, i just delete the game when i get home. Jake, i’m sure you can come up with a podcast title that does not spoil the game for those who have not yet watched it, even if you just call it “recap and analysis” every time. if not, i may have to quit the pod, which i would rather not do.
  • ballin22swish
    GO PELS
    Just wanted to say thanks and appreciate you taking the time to talk ab the pels. Huge BI fan, former Laker, still laker , but pels fan ! 😂 I love and agree with almost all your points. Pels needa put you on that staff bro 🤦‍♂️😂 love the show tho 💯
  • 504 dude
    Locked on Pels
    Great stuff. I'm a regular listener and it's essential if you are a Pels fan. Jake doesn’t pull punches, is very fair and knows the game.
  • JY NOLA
    Jake Madison is the “axe” on the Pels
    Great balance of passion and objectivity.
  • Taylor 48577
    Pelicans Headquarters
    I’ve been listening for about 5 years now and I simply love this podcast. Listen to it on my morning drive to work or while I’m sipping my morning coffee. I love it because I don’t have the time to watch all of the games and this podcast and it’s host Jake Madison accurately gives you the pulse of this team, the way no other source does. The analysis is ALWAYS A+. Listening simply helps me keep up with the team with the most efficient use of my time.
  • scoopicans
    Great podcast , host, & content
    Absolutely one of the best out there, great knowledge in general. Well done podcast with professional host.
  • Ozorcard
    Stop Being Biased
    If you don’t like a player cool, don’t talk about him. I don’t know which games he watches but sometimes what he gets from them are head scratching. A decent podcast despite obvious biases that tank the ratings
  • kcmeridian
    Favorite Pels Pod
