“Was so thrilled to find Hello and Welcome! This review is for the algorithm but also I'm a huge fan and would die without your podcast. Do hashtags work here? #raptors #nba #basketball. Okay incase they don't.... Basketball, NBA, nbaBasketball, Raptors, Hoops. Okay! All the best.”Read full review »

“These boys make the best Raptors podcast around.
The transition into their own independent media machine feels like a Charmeleon to a Charizard evolution.
I believe Will once mentioned my Khem Birch fan account. Their community touch is unmatched. Thanks for the good listens ❤️👍”
“I’m been a following fan of Will Lou & and Alex Wong since the “run it back” days that cover the raptors during the championship run from a local diner.
Let me tell, if you’re a devoted raptors fan or just a casual listener of basketball pods with just the right amount of humour and...”Read full review »

“Intelligent, well informed, authentic and fun insights to the Toronto Raptors and the NBA. Will and Alex’s banter and passion entertain with every episode but the true gem is the actual basketball knowledge and IQ that shows a true love and philosopher of the game!”

“Finding Alex and Will again has filled me with such joy. I go to you both for all of my raptors info. You both are so funny, knowledgeable, down to earth, and incredibly talented and I look forward to hearing your raps take for decades to come.”
“Love the post game/major event react pods, not droning on purely about subjective thoughts, but a real nice mix of up court-side observations or game recaps, the interaction with listeners/viewers, all mixed together with a twang of Asian John Hughes-esque shared trauma.
Can hardly ever catch a...”Read full review »

“That Devlin episode was special. Best episode since you left the Raptors Show. Great stories from Matty balanced with some ol’ Raps show shenanigans. RJ kidding me?!!
For three from Pacific Mall!”

“Will & Alex are always appreciated on the podcast world 🌎, but my fandom is always strong for Lindsay Dunn! She’s putting out the best Toronto content and her personality is so infectious. Keep doing your thing lads and please have more Dunn on the pod! 🤩”
“As someone who doesn’t watch as many regular season raptors games as I used to, this show is perfect for keeping me in the loop on the dynamics of the team. However, what keeps me coming back is the chemistry between Will and Alex, with Jerome being a great new addition. Glad you guys are doing...”Read full review »
“Listen man! You guys are great, but your boy drags the show. I’m not here for his story telling that isn’t funny. Keep him on the side and let you 2 tell it with jokes. I follow you 2 for YEARS! Keep that chemistry, but ya boy needs to be in the background”
“Will and Alex are just the best at bantering, it’s so great to have them covering the team that I love, our great 2019 NBA champions Toronto Raptors.”

“Hands down my favourite pod to listen to. Always enjoyed Will and Alex on other pods, but the addition of Jerome is great on this one. Something I really appreciate is they pitch the content to meet where the Raptors and the fan base are right now. Not even close to contending and the difficult...”Read full review »

“Finally I have found Will & Alex back at it and I am grateful that they are back to fill in the Raptor Podcast Void. Bring it on boys! Exciting times for the Raptors and all who follow. Love the insight, banter and perspective these two bring to the true Raptors fans!”
“These guys really care about the consumer! Want to know the essentials on the Raptors recent draft picks? Want to know why Bruce Brown is still in town? Want to know what Sauga feels like in the night! This team has you covered. Best Raptors content around, plus amazing NBA guests.”
“Took me a while to realize that these two were back on the job but what an incredible duo. Could not be happier to hear these two cover the Raptors together. Unmissable engaging and authentic content. Wouldn’t be right if they weren’t together.”
“Will & Alex, and now with the great addition of Jerome are my go to for Raptors news and reactions. They’re down to earth and fun to listen to. Happy to see them continue to thrive on their own. Keep it up!”
“The dynamic between Will and Alex is just amazing. That what’s made the Raptors Show special. That what’s making Hello and Welcome special as well. They are trying to build their own project based on this. And it works! Would love to see Blake there at some point as well. This trio would be fire...”Read full review »
“Been a long time listener of Will and Alex but have to say this is undoubtedly the best podcast. Does that mean that Jerome is/was the missing link? Love the show, always look forward to the next episode”

“Listening to Will and Alex rhapsodize about Raps, basketball, Toronto, Asian culture, Gollum, Hitch, and whatever else crosses their minds is an absolute pleasure. I’ve only ever met Alex in person but listening to this is like hanging with good friends who happen to be so intelligent about...”Read full review »
“I had only discovered them in the last year, so when first Alex and then Lou left The Raptors Show it was a major bummer. Glad to have them back in my feed.”

“Riding since Raptors Republic and the Steven Lebron backlogs. Come for the basketball discussion, stay for culture discussion, Pokémon breakdowns and laughs.”
“If you are a true diehard Raps fan (I’ve been a fan since day one game one) this is the ONLY podcast you need to listen to. Amazing content and they are funny as hell too. Keep up the amazing work guys!!!!”
“So glad they’re back, bringing inclusive inside jokes and elite banter. Love all the raps content and happy we get some new No Dunks production chops! looking forward to this!”
