Customer Reviews
Awesome show
Great ideas, awesome segments, just a super fun show. Excited to see how it progresses.
Excited 2 be here
This show is so creative right out of the gate. The segments are top notch, and the music rips. I’m a wolves fan, and can already tell that the hosts have a good grasp on every market. Sometimes you don’t know you need something until it’s there. Thanks for making the show! The Michael Jordan laserdisc documentary sitting with my compilation records feels more valid than ever.
Perfect podcast for the rest of us
Brian and Clayton do an awesome job on The Alternates. Love that they bring attention to important basketball headlines that aren’t talked about as often and highlight indie artists. A must-listen for anybody interested in the intersection of sports and punk culture.
