Good podcast if you want to get yelled at and hear people talking over each other. Good for hot takes though!
Slam and Jam
I’ve enjoyed the (Saturday) Slam and Jam since inception and look forward to it every week! So much so that I listened to the most recent episode while floating in the Caribbean Sea. Always a good time and love the content!
Slam and Jam
The Slam and Jam alone is worth clicking the follow button. My Saturdays begin with a cup of coffee, turning on the Slam and Jam and listening while I make breakfast for my family.
Andrew and Alex recap the week and analyze the players and teams with humour, wit, stats and interesting takes, and I always look forward to Andrew vs. The Beat.
Great Pod. Keep them Coming!
