Greatest Show on Grass
The Greatest Show on Grass: Los Angeles Rams podcast that celebrates the present-day NFL team against the backdrop of its rich and little-known Hollywood past. Hosted by Los Angeles-based writer, filmmaker, and Rams chronicler Joshua Neuman, The Greatest Show on Grass connects on-the-field analysis with broader conversations about pop culture, politics, gender, and race as it explores a football franchise that’s been as interesting off the field as on it. The Greatest Show on Grass is also a love story between a team and a city. As one prominent sportswriter wrote a half century ago: “The Rams find themselves as much a part of the scenery [of Los Angeles] as the Hollywood Hills, the subject of more newspaper space than the atom bomb, and an object of civic concern second only to smog.” Long before the St. Louis Rams of 1999-2001 were The Greatest Show on Turf, the Los Angeles Rams were The Greatest Show on Grass.
Fantastic Show

The host (Josh) is incredibly knowledgeable about the Rams and always makes great points without knee jerk reactions. Also interesting to see the perspective of a newer Rams fan (Tanesha) having been a fan for many years myself. The stories about the Rams connection to Hollywood are always interesting and something I haven't seen anywhere else. Highly recommend it to any Rams fan.

You can really tell, Josh is obsessed with the rams. His passion comes through in the debates without seeming pretentious. It’s crazy how much he makes the Rams seem bigger than sports, the geekiness is truly endearing. I wish there were more podcasts like this for other sports teams!!

Just listened to the entire podcast very carefully It was so moving at the end that I stood outside waiting to go to work (not concerned that I would be a few minutes late)with tears in my eyes as you narrated the closing minutes of the podcast with your take on 'heaven can wait', reality and fiction ie the movie -wow what a piece! If that can't can't move 10 million los Angelenos them nothing could! I loved every minute ! Warren Beattie and Jack Nicholson idea as 'mascots' cool Who's that other guy you chose as yr A pick ? Maybe they can be guests ie warren ,jack etc on the show? Btw your associate is great too ...reminds me a bit of Howard stern and Robin genre. Your voice ,style -fantastic The 45 minutes flew by! I look forward to the next one . Rams are now on earth Heaven delivered Sam
A show that surprises even non-football fans!

I know nothing about football but was intrigued to listen. This is a show about culture and football in that big picture. Joshua Neuman’s hip observations and array of diverse guests make this a podcast to watch (or rather listen to!). And what took me by surprise was the way in which the show is a romantic tribute to Los Angeles
