Customer Reviews
Love most of the shows
A lot of good content but for the love of god, Zack Harper’s banter is tedious, annoying, and adds no value to my interest in basketball.
Slam n Jam!
Slam n Jam is the absolute best. I get so tired of other podcasts who spend months asking “Sure, but can [blank team] do it in the playoffs?” How boring!
Slam n Jam, on the other hand, shows why the regular season is interesting. Each week, they highlight interesting storylines and questions for each and every team. They make
the regular season matter.
More generally, I enjoy the Athletic Podcast network. Honorable mention goes to Tampering, and it made my week to hear Fred Katz on the Slam n Jam this week.
Andrew, I think you produce for Basket Buds. Please tell Zach Harper and Jay King to be nicer to each other. :)
Weird
