Customer Reviews
Simply the best
There are several great Pistons podcasts but the Pistons Pulse has to be the best. Bryce, Omari and Wes give interesting, in depth and most importantly objective analysis. This isn’t a show about hot takes or never ending negativity. If you love Pistons basketball this is the show for you!
This show is a BUCKET
Killer analysis, hosted by a duo with a great rapport. Since moving back to Michigan they have supplemented my Pistons intake and I couldn’t be happier to have discovered this show. Easy 5 stars, a must listen for Pistons fans, and a show to look up to when it comes to team coverage. Hope i can get to that next live show.
Great guys putting out a great show
I listen on Spotify, but felt like I needed to come to Apple to give a full review since these guys deserve some credit! The dynamic and chemistry between Omari and Bryce produces a great listen. You get a mix of in-depth basketball analysis, team insight and some lighthearted razzing that makes it fun.
I attended the live recording and after the show, both Bryce and Omari (under no obligation) took the time to walk around to each table and have a conversation. Really genuine dudes. So props to Bryce, props to Omari, shout out Wes and a kudos to the Freep for putting on the show.
Appreciate the hard work fellas
