    Best on the beat
    Callahan is now the best on the beat following Lazar’s TBI. The pod is good.

    Easily My Favorite Patriots Podcast
    I’ve been listening to Andrew’s podcast since 2022 and I don’t think I’ve ever skipped 1 show. I love the days when I’m able to tune into the pod on my long drives to work/class and just get all the Patriots news I can consume. You’d be hard pressed to find a better or more plugged in Patriots podcast!

    Do yourself and your listeners a favor and take Bill Belichick’s name out of your mouth. No one cares that you’re tired and butt hurt about Bill and his approach. There is plenty of new news and persons to cover on this team — do your job…

    Favorite Pats Pod
    Pats Interference has become my go-to Pats podcast for all-things-Patriots, and it's now the first podcast across any topic that I play as soon as it comes into my feed. I first came to it last draft season after hearing Andrew Callahan on other podcasts and wanting more of his tapped-in perspective as a beat reporter. But as I've continued to listen, what's impressed me so much is not only Callahan's knowledge about the inner workings of the Patriots, but also the fairness in his reporting and analysis. He calls out the team, coaches, players, and front office on their mistakes but he does it without falling into the talk radio hyperbole and anger that I hear on other podcasts. It's a very balanced perspective. And on top of that, his ability to analyze the tape and effectively explain sometimes complex topics around play design and scheme is rare in podcasts. I just hope the team gives him a better product to do deep dives on next year. My only wish would be that we'd get more podcasts closer to when the games end or "emergency podcasts" after breaking news. But I also get that he has his actual responsibilities as a reporter, so the schedule he has makes sense. Bottom line is that I can't recommend this one enough.

    You asked Ted Johnson a question about MOVIES?then interrupted him to tell a story about going to the movies. I was hoping for football talk, so I loaded a different podcast.

    The Best New England Patriots Podcast Out There
    Andrews is informed, well spoken, humble, and has great common sense takes on the New England Patriots with no axe to grind against Mayo or Kraft or Belichick. You also get entertaining travel logs and fun 4 minute or less segments with Patriots Players answering fun questions. One of the few podcasts I listen to at normal speed instead of 1.25/1.5. Can’t recommend this podcast enough.

    The king of the patriots beat
    Andrew is the best! Not just insightful, but a very engaging host and podcast in general. A must-listen for every patriots fan. And great guests.

    Growing on me
    I’m a “Catch 22 above all” guy, but I gotta say, this podcast is really growing on me! I like the style, speaking voice, tone… and the snapshot into life on the road was fantastic. Probably because I’m 45 with two kids… but hearing accounts of free-wheeling nights on the town with some context is really (insert probably Finish word for enjoyment of vicarious living)!

    No more Mutansky
    Please. He adds nothing valuable whatsoever.

    Real football talk
    Just love hearing real talk. Knowledgeable host and talk like informed people in a casual setting.
  • Reb Reaville
    Aug 9th podcast
    Andrew Callahan always a good source on all things Pats. Pleased to see recognition that JJ Schuster was a stand-up guy whose body unexpectedly failed at the age of 27. Truth.

    Best Pats Podcast
    There’s a lot of Patriots podcasts out there, but you would be hard pressed to find a better one than this. Andrew does a great job and makes the listeners smarter and more well-informed every episode.

    Great Podcast!
    Love listening to the Pod! As a Patriots fan who moved away from New England, I love that I still have a local connection. Thank you!

    Pats Interference comments
    I am a big football fan and live in Boston. Andrew is one my trusted local resources. The podcast provides access to a lot of people and keeps me up date with news as well as more strategic viewpoints. It is the only podcast I listen to on a regular basis.
  • Lenny's Dad
    I think Andrew is the next local guy to go National
    Love the podcast. Andrew has a real good ability to blend the nerdy stuff like analytical intelligence and “film tape breakdown” with a laid back sense of humor and easy delivery. I think he’s that next Boston sports reporter who will have a (well deserved) chance to “go National” like Michael Smith, Rappaport, Giardi, etc. So…I’m gonna enjoy him while we got him!

    Great!
    Super insightful, definitely the best patriots podcast out there!
  • New painterz
    Love the Pod
    One of my favorite podcasts for everything Patriots. The main thing that stops me from giving 5 stars are the ads. I just don’t thinks it’s cool that this podcast (and one of my other favorites) keeps pushing gambling on people. There’s gotta be another way to pay the bills.

    Amazing Pats podcast!
    The perfect blend of fun and smart football commentary.
  • Sean GM.
    Great pod!
    Great pod for inside Patriots info!
  • thisnicknameisbogus
    Terrific detail, terrific pod!
    Callahan gives us not only the game action, but balances his game commentary with stats that tell us how and why the game played out the way it did. Not many Podcasters give you in-depth data the way Callahan does. I enjoy Callahan’s unbiased outlook and the absence of the extreme negativity we see so often in Boston sports casts these days.

    Best Pats Podcast
    Andrew actually talks about football and important things related to football, as opposed to most of the other Pats media, who discuss clickbait stories and topics (non-existent QB controversy, wide receiver obsession, palace intrigue, etc.) more often than they should. Guests are always strong, Andrew does his homework, is a great reporter, owns his baldness, and gives it to you straight. This is currently the best patriots podcast. Keep up the good work, Andrew.

    Entertaining and knowledgeable
  • jboss_13
    Great Pats Talk
    Great Patriots podcast with insider info but not filtered or with some biased spin. Andrew compliments or rips the team as needed, which is rare and enjoyable.
  • jdunphy68
    Love the show
    Great show. Love listening to Andrew and his insights. Lots of I formation, great guests, and the occasional New England craft beer mentions
  • Evan NFL
    Rock solid Pats pod
    Andrew gives you solid scheme talk not surface level storylines. It’s light on fluff, heavy on hardcore football information with charm and personality sprinkled in.
  • Mambo Chicken
    Worthy Listen
    Andrew has a good format and is boots on the ground. My new favorite Pats podcast
  • Lightside⚡️
    Typical tired New England style negative analysis.
    Not worth your time, you can get the exact parroting analysis from WEEI or the sports hub. Nothing new to see here …same script …you’ve heard it all before.
  • GoVeVe
    Great stuff

  • DoctorVanNostrand
    Big fan of Callahan
    From his early days covering the GFL, to his sojourn covering the B’s, I think he’s found his home again covering the Pats. Pretty pumped that he’s penetrated the podcasting platform. Looking forward to seeing what the future holds for this guy.
