unfortunately all the great names of the athletic are gone along with the awesome shows they made (and they made daily ding along all of that great content). this is now just a bad version of daily ding
Finally, some Trae Young love and appreciation. Most hated , slept on, overlooked, scrutinized 25.5 - 9.5 career avg player in history.

The annoying background music made this podcast impossible to enjoy. What is the producer trying to do? I just turned it off after a few minutes. I'm sure I wasn't the only one. Terrible!!
All of the sound effects, audio hiccups and song inserts make this a painful listen. It's too bad we can't just listen to the experts and information that we tuned in to hear.
1:22
Could you stop putting those other sounds and songs behind the voices of the guests? Nice podcast
