Essential Pistons Listening
This podcast is as good as Omari’s ‘The Batman’ take is bad, which is about as high a praise as you could possibly offer a podcast.
It’s essential listening for any Pistons fan, and the topics that Bryce & Omari bring to the table each week are varied and always interesting.
As a UK listener who hopes to visit Detroit again soon, I would love to hear an episode about the top 10 things to see and do in Detroit for people who hope to catch a game next season.
