“I use to look forward to the post game analysis with Sahal, Oren, Zarar and others having fun even when we lost. Now it’s Samson going over X’s and O’s and enjoying the opponents victory because he ‘loves good basketball’. Thanks, but no.”

“Samson has the best vocab in the game bar none. If you’re looking for elite X’s and O’s combined with the odd well-placed literary reference he’s your guy”

“Not really into the Raptors, but I found this pod after listnening to the Pacers team preview epsidoe. As talkers go, Sampson is very natural. Almost like a delightfully quirky chameleon. He and Caitlyn brought the basketball goods and posed insightful questions to each other about both teams....”Read full review »

“A lot of your podcast Audio levels are very low at times. I have to crack the volume to be able to hear what is being said. I love the podcast just hate that it’s so quiet.”

“I think Samson does fabulous game analysis. I also think his other shows where he brings in other experts in NBA is really informative. I really hope Samson goes places and gets a Toronto media opportunity at some point. I guess he would have to be willing to leave Mexico🙂
Great Work Samson!”

“Samson Folk was the only bearable part of this pod until he started doing spoken words poetry to break down the games, what? Nick and Barry are the only reason to listen to this pod anymore. Zarar is way to annoying.”

“Long time listener, raps republic has been putting out great content for a long time. Had to give a five star review after hearings Samson’s statement regarding the Raptors pricing out one of the most dedicated home crowds in the league. Great work.”

He seamlessly weaves in technical analysis, hilarious anecdotes, and tie-ins to Raptors history and happenings around the league with a verve and style that is without compare.

“I don’t want to sound like an old crotchety dude but the boys could improve their credibility by dropping the F bomb from their vocabulary. The profanity loses its impact when it is used like a school boy in the locker room. The more you curse doesn’t make your words more impactful.

“My question is, why does Zarar have guests come in to his episode. He doesn’t leave room for them to answer. His episodes are his opinions being forced onto his guests and asking them to agree with him. Not a very big fan of his style and voice cadence. I appreciate the larger body of work in...”Read full review »

“I can’t get enough Raptors analysis, so I love listening to, both, The Raptors Republic and Talking Raptors. My only criticisms that I have are: A) the audio quality on Raptors Republic isn’t great, and B) Nick and Barry should be drunk on every episode of Talking Raptors.”
