Welcome to First to the Floor, a Boston Celtics channel bringing you levelheaded overreactions, occasional coherent analysis, and a few laughs (we hope). The First to the Floor team, Ben Vallis, Jake Issenberg, and Wayne Spooney, might not be traditional members of the media, but that’s some of our charm. As part of the CLNS Network, we have unique access to great guests like Abby Chin, Chris Forsberg, Drew Carter, and sometimes we even let Barstool’s Dan Greenberg join. No matter how you like your Celtics content, we’ve got you covered. Between full-length pods, live game watch-a-longs, articles for Celticsblog, clips, and film breakdowns, let us be your spot for everything Celtics. We aren’t in this for the money (otherwise we’d all be homeless by now), we do it because it’s fun. And what makes it fun is interacting with our listeners.

Love These Guys

Awesome podcast for the Celtics

kerrdylan41 ,

Highly Recommend for Celtics Fans

Such an enjoyable, chill, feel-good podcast! They effectively analyze the team from its offense/defense sets and from the best player to the 15th man and also maintain a wonderful community of Celtics fans through their discord group. Such a breath of fresh air from what is usually an excessively reactionary sports media.

PGW3 ,

Truly excellent Cs podcast

My absolute favorite of the seven Cs podcasts I listen to regularly. Data-driven analysis and upbeat yet grounded homer vibes. Exactly what you want to listen to as a fan, and the podcasting quality is top notch as well.
