**Incoming* The latest Raptors Queens pod has dropped. After RJ Barrett's triple double performance and his 39-piece, we look at the nitty gritty of his transformation from "toxic asset" to offensive centerpiece, how he has developed, how the eventual return of Scottie and IQ will affect RJ and his ceiling. And a simmering debate breaks out between Sarah and Alison about Jakob Poeltl's role in the Raptors eventual ascendance. The only agreement is that time will tell. As always, our Kin...

**Special Guest Zulfi Sheikh @zulfi_sheikh**After 2 years of rumours, Pascal Siakam was traded to the Indiana Pacers. Emotions are high: sadness, betrayal, anticipation, relief...all post-break-up emotions are valid and possible in the biggest Raptors break-up since Demar Derozan. How did it all go wrong? Did the Raptors receive fair returns for an All-NBA player? How are the Raptors positioned? We look at the highlights of Masai's presser...lots of tea leaves to read. A discussion of o...
****Special Guest Jamar Hinds**** When all appeared most gloomy, a NY (New Years) miracle happened...a trade.

Play-in with our special guest Adon Moss aka "37-year-old Kyle Lowry" from Raptors Republic!

Some Philly slander - can't help it - and our King of the North segment. Then reflections on the hot mess in Atlanta--who's to blame? We had so much fun with this episode th...
Incoming Post Trade Deadline Special. We assess the impact of Jakob Poeltl on the Raptors offence, what he brings and how the schemes might change. How does this trade stack up against the expectations of the fanbase? Is there a grand plan? Did the trades of KD and Kyrie diminish opportunities available for the Raptors to make further moves? We have thoughts. A deep dive into the highlights of Masai's post deadline presser. He may speak like a diplomat but the future is clear as Masai l...
The Raptor Queens latest episode, unscripted as we weigh in on the topic everyone's talking about - The Raptors...Slump. We look at the reasons and yes, we had a lot to choose from, but our answers may surprise you. Trade talk is heating up - Do Bobby and Masai jump on roster moves? History may be the teacher here. Of course, our King of the North segment; disclaimer: Our Court Jester segment veers into the human hierarchy of needs and hygiene products. And finally, who among is doesn't like ...
Raptor Queens coming your way to kick-off a slower Raptors schedule for the next 2 weeks. Think the Raptors have been bitten bad by the injury bug?

Raptors Queens incoming with early-seasons trends and analysis. Some positive surprises, and some glaring weaknesses. Who is the Raptors most-impactful player to start the season?

What a week! From 3-0 to 3-2 and a fighting chance. We look at games 3-5, the broad strokes and the standouts, who is winning the battle of the coaches, and of course give kudos to the freshly minted ROTY. Yes, we are all up in our feels. Raptors fans may need therapy, but what about the Philly fans booing their own team and leaving before the end of a playoff game? We got thoughts. And no self-respecting podcast would be complete without acknowledging Boston's sweep of the Nets so we i...
