As we get down to the playoffs and, as well documented in another post, other sports still dominate the airwaves, what do you listen to instead? With all due respect to this fine site and the podcasts found within, what other ones are the best. There's the general "The Starters" and "The JJ Reddick" pods but there's also a lot of local reporters too. List away.

Just been reading/listening to Bills' stuff for a long time. His Celtic fandom is a bit much sometimes, but it also makes him a lot more relatable as he's just a sports fan at heart.

Bill Simmons podcast is good, I also like Jalen and Jacoby, Lowe Post, and The Vertacle. If I want all Raptors I listen to Hoops 590, but it's only on Thursday's.
It's hard to find a good Raptors podcast with good audio quality and polish. I'm sure the RR guys will get there at some point. I just find it hard to listen to at the moment.

The Lowe Post is a great place to start. The Vertical ones are pretty good too, Woj, Mannix and JJ. I've been a big fan of TBJ (Starters) but mainly now it's just for the Drops these days since I don't have as much time.
Dunc'd On Basketball Podcast is pretty good. They go pretty in-depth and put out a ton of them.
Simmons is entertaining but I'm getting sick of his buddy House these days. He's a few steps down from Bill's other regular guests, both in knowledge and entertainment level. At least Cousin Sal is funny.Two beer away from being two beers away.

For NBA I find Lowe is very insightful and unbiased. Bill turns every conversation into a Boston conversation. I understand cause I kind of do that with the raptors but he is over the top. Obviously I love the podcasts here especially the ones with PhD Steve. Blake Murphy is alright but my favorite on the website is actually the one with... the guys with the elephant... where is the elephant by the way.
Jalen and Jacoby is good but its no longer a "basketball" podcast although that is the main thing. Additionally, it isn't as good as it was when it was under the Grantland umbrella. They don't even post video podcasts anymore in full.

Nobody mentioned the Vantage Sports podcasts.
Not a big podcast fan - I'd rather read than listen, but these are stat trackers with some interesting observations.
Most recent one is ranking tiers of centres.
