A Brilliant listen! Always insightful, with a great revolving cast. This pod has become one of my go-to’s. Much love from ‘Straya (Australia)

G’day
Another G’day from Sydney Australia!
Easily the best hoops podcast out there! In a sea of mediocrity and ‘hot’ takes in the basketball podcasting universe, Saturday Slam and Jam is the perfect mix of hoops analysis and entertainment.
The weekly rundown of league action is easily the most substantial and succinct analysis of its kind.
The wheel of fandom and trivia keeps things lighthearted and gives every fan base in the league a chance at relevance.
Keep up the great work!
