    More Seattle SuperSonics Content!
    This is easily my favorite podcast right now. I love remembering the greatest team that ever was, the Seattle SuperSonics, and learning more about the inner workings of that team. 10/10!

    Iconic Podcast!
    A lot of variety in content encapsulating the culture of Seattle! So many guests w/ interesting stories and recollections about their experiences of basketball in Seattle. Hope to see the Sonics return so "new age" fans can understand how special Seattle is in basketball history

    Sonics History!
    This show has become a historical vault of Sonics history! When the team comes back, it will be a time capsule of sorts of great moments and stories from an iconic franchise!

    I Love this Podcast!
    Great to have the Gasman on board for season 2, I love the structure and questions. Gas comes prepared and informed, and asks the questions that I want to know answers to. Would be nice to organize a panel interview episode of a few players from the 79 team with Lenny too! Would be fun to just focus on that season and hear their stories on the championship year, same for the 90โ€™s with George too! Perhaps adding other podcasts around the Seahawks and Mariners would be entertaining to listen to also!

    Season 1 was great
    Season 1 was awesome! Bring back the other host - why did you change? Season 1 had great interviews and guests. Season 2 is not my vibe

    Fantastic Podcast for all you Sonics fans
    Every episode has been fantastic so far. I can't believe they've been able to get all the big hitters in Sonics history. Can't wait for more episodes.

    Glory days revisited
    Anyone who grew up in Seattle in the 70โ€™s through the โ€˜90s when the NBA was at its best and the Sonics meant so much to the city will love this podcast. I still have a wheedle doll. DJ, JJ, Gus, Downtown, rain man, the glove, detlef, smooth, Ellis, chambers, and we can even throw in Durant...this list goes on and on. kingdome, Tacoma dome, key arena, you name it. This is true Seattle. The team mean so much to the small isolated town that has since grown...
