The Bill Simmons Podcast

June 2025: Bill, from a Canadian, I really appreciate the hockey talk and you have the green light to talk more about it! // The show dipped earlier, but what hasn’t during the pandemic? Kudos to Bill for trying to deliver good content every week that’s kept us entertained through a difficult time. The Cuban interview was excellent. I could’ve listened to another two hours of that. // What I like about Bill: - His Celtics homerism doesn’t get in the way of sound opinions about the rest of the league; - He loves basketball and has deep historic knowledge of the game, and this remains true today; - He’s willing to think creatively about how the league and the game could be changed, how to conceptualize different players and eras, etc.; - Passion, positive and negative. Nothing better than listening to Bill talk about the Knicks’/Lakers’ front office incompetence. But he also gives credit where credit’s due. His knack for perspective is excellent. - Automatic minimum 4 stars for having three rescue dogs!

I’ve been listening for 5 plus years and realize I should have comment sooner. But the pickleball being a fake, annoying sport that takes up real sport courts take was amazing. I’m going to have a great day now. The world needs to know. Play tennis please…

Chuck Klosterman is always an awesome interview. I wish he was on more

Bill rarely discusses hockey or baseball. It is pretty much only football or basketball.
