July 18, 2006. The owner of the Seattle SuperSonics, Howard Schultz, calls a press conference. Ever since the Starbucks chairman took over the team, he's been hemorrhaging money. Now, Schultz has run out of patience too. He's selling the team... to out-of-town buyers.Today, the SuperSonics are sold out. The franchise delivered Seattle its first pro sports championship, was a cultural touchstone, and produced superstars like Gary Payton. Fans are desperate to keep the Sonics in town. So why do they leave?Special thanks to our guests: Adam Brown, producer of the Webby Award-winning film "SonicsGate"; Chris Daniels, longtime Seattle reporter and host of the podcast “Iconic Sonics"; Loren “Big Lo” Sandretzky, Sonics superfan; and Damien Wilkins, former Seattle SuperSonic.

After a series of crushing first round upsets in the 1994 and 1995 NBA playoffs, the Seattle SuperSonics, coached by George Karl, finished the 95-96 regular season with 64 wins and the top seed in the West.  Then, they finally broke through in the 96 playoffs, making it to the NBA Finals to battle Michael Jordan and the Chicago Bulls. Was this the Summit of the Sonics franchise and George Karl's coaching legacy?

Documentary filmmakers Jason Reid and Adam Brown (Sonicsgate: Requiem for a Team) join host Tim Hanlon to discuss the long, tortuous and acrimoniously messy departure of the NBA’s iconic Seattle SuperSonics to Oklahoma City in the summer of 2008 – a story newly relevant as the “Emerald City” prepares to welcome a new NHL expansion franchise, and as former owner (and Starbucks CEO Emeritus) Howard Schultz publicly explores a run for the US Presidency. A real-life drama replete with local political intrigue, wily (and/or naïve) business dealings, and an array of villains straight out of Hollywood central casting – the Sonics-to-Thunder saga has quickly become a chilling metaphor for the triumph of business revenue streams and facilities real estate over the spectacle of athletic competition or the rooting interests of fans. Reid and Brown walk Hanlon through: the landing (in 1967) and honeymoon first years of Seattle’s first-ever pro sports franchise; the region’s loving embrace of their own pro hoops team (especially during its 1979 league championship season); the Achilles’ heel of Key Arena and a city government wary of public stadium subsidies; a litany of lawsuits; and a raft of agenda-driven actors like the in-over-his-skis Schultz, a devious Oklahoma City lead investor Clay Bennett, and a complicit NBA Commissioner David Stern – all of whom share blame for the Sonics’ ignominious relocation in the minds and hearts of Seattle sports fans. Plus: we speculate whether the 2021 arrival of the NHL to Seattle portends a return of NBA basketball – perhaps in the form of a newly constituted SuperSonics – in the years ahead!

Episode 38 of PRP is Part 2 of Grendel's interview with Seattle rapper Wizdom. The two talk Recording with Macklemore, Rap Beef, Seattle Sports, and Sonicsgate & the "cesspool of corruption" that is the Port of Seattle.

In the first of a two-part interview, Grendel welcomes in Seattle rapper Dave Mazzeo (a.k.a Wizdom) for Episode 37 of Punk Rock Pariah. The two breach a million different topics from Sonicsgate and social justice in Catholic education to his music and how weight loss is like a drug. There's something for everyone here!

Matt and Justin are joined by the makers of the infamous Sonicsgate documentary to discuss their new film "Dirtbag: The Legend of Fred Beckey" about Seattle's most illustrious characters. There's also quite a bit of drinking involving Rainier beer and Woodford Reserve bourbon. It's a fun one.

Jason Reid and Adam Brown met each other while fighting to keep the Sonics in Seattle. They formed a partnership to create the award winning documentary Sonicsgate. They're still making films on subjects as diverse as marijuana legalization, Mike Dukakis, K2, and rapper Nacho Picasso. And they are still fighting to bring back the Sonics. The episode looks at politics, culture, race and journalism as it intersects with the fan support for pro basketball. Jason and Adam bring their own special brand of activism to documentary film making.

If you follow the professional basketball then you were likely quite entertained by the NBA Finals featuring the Miami Heat and the Oklahoma City Thunder. Hopefully you remember a time when the Thunder were called the Seattle Supersonics. My guest this week, Jason Reid, is quite familiar with this fact. He's directed and produced a documentary called 'Sonicsgate' that details the events that led to the Supersonics becoming the Thunder. We spend most of the podcast talking about 'Sonicsgate', but there's also conversation about the process of making a documentary, Jason's other projects, and we finish up with some general Seattle sports talk. Enjoy. Follow Jason on Twitter at @Reid206 and keep up with the latest from his various film projects at http://2RPLLC.com.

On episode 9 of the Punk Rock Pariah Podcast, Grendel is joined by Adam Brown, one of the visionaries behind the award winning documentary film Sonicsgate. The two talk about the film itself and why you should care about the documentary even though you may not be a sports fan. Adam also unveils plans for a new nonprofit called the Green and Gold Community Coalition that brings together people from all segments of society who support creating a non-taxpayer funded multi-use facility in Washington State to help build tourism and create jobs.
