What should Knicks fans expect from OG Anunoby? Will Quickley be a Raptor beyond this season? Who starts & closes in Toronto long-term: Gary Trent Jr or RJ Barrett? Will RJ still be a Raptor in 2 years? Precious Achiuwa or Jericho Sims for backup 5 minutes? More likely to be in rotation by the end of the season: Malachi Flynn or Deuce McBride?

Jori Negin-Shecter (@JNeginShecter) and Zach Worden (@Worden_Zach) are joined by Ethan Diamandas (@EthanDiamandas) of Yahoo Sports Canada to break down the Bo Bichette to the Chicago Cubs rumours and play a little "This or that" with Toronto Blue Jays offseason possibilities before catching up with the team's coaching-staff shuffle and break down the Tip O'Neill candidates.
In Episode 1514, Sean Woodley and Vivek Jacob (Sportsnet, Yahoo Sports Canada) react to and break down the Toronto Raptors' wild 111-107 win over the dreadful Washington Wizards, powered by Pascal Siakam's incredible 39-11-7 performance and a 22-1 run to close the game in the final moments. Off the top, Sean and Vivek discuss Siakam's masterpiece, what made it so impressive, and why it's fitting that he nailed the game-winning shot in the clutch to cap it all off. Next, they attempt to answer the question: Was this a good or bad game for the Toronto Raptors? Plus, some thoughts on Scottie Barnes' late surge after a pretty lifeless start to the game. Lastly, Sean and Vivek run through The Good (Gradey Dick, Chris Boucher), the Bad (Otto Porter Jr., the perimeter defense) and The Hmmmm (Scottie racking up steals, whether or not the Wizards are doing this on purpose) to round out the show.Come join our listener community on Discord!

In Episode 1216, Sean Woodley is joined by Katie Heindl (DIME, Yahoo Sports Canada) to talk about the Toronto Raptors signing forward Justin Champagnie to a two-year contract, and dig into her biggest takeaways after a week on the ground in Vegas covering the Raptors. Off the top, they react to the Champagnie signing, and dig into why they think he stands a great chance of landing a rotation job at some point next season thanks to his inherent Raptorsiness. Next, they dig into Katie's biggest takeaways from Summer League, including thoughts on Dalano Banton's growth even in just the year since his first trip through Summer League, and why the surprise play of Jeff Dowtin is a great story, though likely not one that will impact the Raptors' 2022-23 roster. Lastly, Sean grills Katie with some rapid fire Vegas-related questions, including: what was the strangest NBA interaction she had while there? What's her casino game of choice? And what was the best and worst thing she ate while down there. It's a fun show! Support Us By Supporting Our Sponsors! Built Bar Built Bar is a protein bar that tastes like a candy bar.

Miguel talked to Hockey Scribe Ian Kennedy (@IanKennedyCK) about Hockey Culture and some Stanley Cup talk (Note: Episode originally recorded 5.26.22). Ian Kennedy writes about Hockey for @TheHockeyNews and provides hockey analysis at Yahoo Sports-Canada and Yahoo Sports NHL. To start the podcast, Miguel talks to Ian about his new book, On Account of Darkness: Shining Light on Race and Sport, and Miguel asked Ian to choose three stories he enjoyed learning and writing about the most in his new book. You can purchase the book here. Additionally, Miguel and Ian get into the recent racism Black, Muslim, and Indigenous NHL Players have faced, such as the Islamophobia that the Colorado Avalanche's Nazem Kadri had to deal with during the second round of the Stanley Cup Playoffs from racist St. Louis Blues fans. Also, Miguel asked Ian if the NHL has done enough to combat the anti-blackness and anti-indigenous racism? At the end of their discussion, Miguel asked Ian about a new combat sport that combines hockey fights with MMA called Ice Wars, and who Ian thinks has the best shot at winning the Cup, plus more! To end the podcast, Miguel's Molotov MVP and Xicano/a sports History segments make their triumphant return! Miguel Garcia produced this episode.

Host Chris Walder (@WalderSports) is once again joined by Amit Mann (@Amit_Mann), the host of the "5 Observations NBA Podcast" and a part of the team over at Yahoo Sports Canada. The two discuss Amit getting his show off the ground during the pandemic and any personal growth he's seen from his first episode to now. They then dive into the upcoming NBA Finals matchup between the Milwaukee Bucks and Phoenix Suns, talking about how surprising the matchup is, if the pairing is good for fans and the league as a whole, what a title win would do for Chris Paul's legacy, as well as that of Giannis Antetokounmpo, as well as predictions for both the champion and Finals Most Valuable Player. In a new segment, Amit reveals if it's a big deal, little deal, or no deal at all that Canada lost to the Czech Republic in its bid to qualify for the Tokyo Olympics in basketball, Kawhi Leonard's rumored attitude towards the Clippers' medical staff, and the Golden State Warriors' potential interest in Pascal Siakam. And in his final rapid-fire questioning, Amit talks awful online memes, annoying characters in his favorite television shows, missing important life events to attend a game, if hot dog eating contests should be considered a sport, Chris Paul saving another lowly franchise, and so much more.

Host Chris Walder (@WalderSports) is once again joined by William Lou (@William_Lou), a Toronto Raptors reporter for Yahoo Sports Canada and the co-host of both "Run It Back" and "Raptors Over Everything Live" on YouTube. The two discuss Will's preference when it comes to the content he creates, whether he's seeing any positive strides with media outlets expanding their diversity on staff, and if he ever takes a step back to enjoy the success he's had as one of the top Raptors beat writers going today. They then recap the disastrous season that was (and that's nearly complete) for the Raptors, how much of an impact playing in Tampa had on the win-loss record, if the franchise should have made more of an effort in bottoming out, if Malachi Flynn can step in for Kyle Lowry moving forward, which bench player has the brightest future with the Raptors, if management blew it with the center position earlier in the season, while also chatting about Masai Ujiri's immediate future and which moment from the 2020-21 campaign will be remembered the most fondly. And in his final rapid-fire questioning, Will picks his favorite Pokemon starter from the original games, reveals his top YouTube soccer compilations and location to shoot at during the early days of "Run It Back," explains why cats are superior to dogs, chooses between Oasis and Coldplay, gives Raptors Twitter a team to invest in during the upcoming playoffs, and so much more.

In episode 11, I'm joined by Kishan Mistry, a digital content producer with the MLB and Uninterrupted as well as a freelance photographer and graphic designer. A graduate from Ryerson University's Sport Media program, Kishan began his career in the sports industry with Field Hockey Canada, working the 2015 Pan Am Games. From there, he made stops with TSN/BarDown and Yahoo Sports Canada before joining the MLB in their content department. Documenting the Raptors Championship run during his time with Yahoo Sports, Kishan's work has been idolized across the city and beyond, as he's captured some of the most iconic photos in Toronto sports history. During our conversation, Kishan talks about the mentality behind his work, how he navigates the ups and downs of the sports industry, and reflects on some of the most memorable moments from his career. As season 2 officially commences, it was an honour to have one of my inspirations kickstart the next slate of episodes. Outro courtesy of: Kishan Mistry Follow Kishan on Instagram Like this podcast?

Host Chris Walder (@WalderSports) invites Yasmin Duale (@carmelohdrama), a writer for Yahoo Sports Canada, her basketball culture journal "The Neon Playbook," and one of the many hosts of the Dishes and Dimes podcast, onto the program. The two discuss whether Yasmin enjoys more freedom behind the mic then typing word to screen, what it's like being a woman of color in the sports media world and if she feels any added pressure as a result, and if enough is being done to incorporate more diversity into the space.

And in her final rapid-fire questioning, Yasmin talks about her relationship with her younger sister, her love of cartoons like "The Simpsons," how she'd rank the many hosts of her ensemble podcast when it comes to slander, which Raptor she'd least want alongside her in the Hunger Games, which sports she feels are the least watchable, Ben Simmons' inability to make or even attempt 3-pointers, ugly Raptors jerseys, the first thing she'll do once the pandemic is over, and so much more.
