Updated review post 2019 Finals
This is really four podcasts under one feed. Over the last several months, the Ringer has definitely improved the overall quality. The Mismatch : 5/5 : Kevin O’Connor and Chris Vernon are a great pair that play well off of each other. The Corner 3: 4.5/5 : seems like they never actually have all three guys on, but Danny Chau, Jonathan Tjarks, and KOC together all have interesting takes, and you’ll find a lot of good draft analysis on this one. .5 star removed for the frequent absence of one or the other member of the team and every time Tjarks says “wander” instead of “wonder” I die a little bit. Heat Check : 4/5 : John Gonzalez and various guests. He did solid yeomans work throughout the Finals and was my go-to for in the moment reactions when Simmons and Russillo didn’t have a pod up. Group Chat : 1.5/5 : This one deals with a lot of the reality show drama of the NBA which I care literally zero about. The few times I’ve given it a chance, Haley just name drops people and tries too hard to be clever. If reality TV and basketball are your thing together you might like it, for me, it goes into the bin straightaway 95% of the time. All in all, if Simmons doesn’t have a basketball pod up and you want to listen to basketball talk, you could do worse than this feed. This one and Lowe Post are the only ones I stay subscribed to.

A five-star rating might be premature for a podcast 2 episodes in, but really this is years in the making between the different Bill Simmons and Channel 33 pods before it. Great and insightful analysis of the NBA, this is a must listen for any basketball fan.
