Consistently puts out amazing content

RedSpin keeps putting out amazing content around the convergence of sports and culture with politics and economics. Outstanding hosts and guests combine to make the show entertaining and informative, exploring topics ripped from today’s sports page as well as delving into history. Glad we finally have a show that combines a genuine love of sports with left-wing politics.

Best sports show

Redspin sports is easily one of the best sports shows out there. The hosts are not afraid to speak truth to power in the sporting arena unlike the corporate sports shows like ESPN.

Sports & labor 👍

Great premise for a podcast! Despite the thousands of lefty podcasts in 2021, Redspin takes a great niche by covering sports. As someone very much into Lefty Soccer culture it’s great to see a working class perspective on other sports! Also features some great guests!
