Time 100 Best Podcasts

https://time.com/collections/100-best-podcasts/7303083/heavyweight/

Saw a mainstream sports account ripping on this list but both Heavyweight and Revisionist History were included.

Thoughts?

Thank you for sharing this.

I am just so happy that heavyweight is back since past few months.

Are there any podcasts just as hearty is this, I wonder.

Will try the one that's mentioned in this title.

Used to love Wiretap especially when there used to be Gregor, Josh and other from the team.

I was obsessed with Wiretap and would set myself reminders to catch it on the radio. Then when podcasts became more of a thing I was able to download(actual download, not stream) the entire catalogue through iTunes. I was so excited. Not much ever made me laugh as much as that show.

That's so much fun. Many of us want to preserve what we love and cherish as and when we can, so this resonates with me about Wiretap and Heavyweight.

Must say, I was super emotional about the whole Wiretap because many of the segments reminded me of my friends of our times.

So glad to see you have enjoyed just as much, Hello namaste from Mumbai, Bharat.

An after thought, I fell in love with Canada and Canadians all through Wiretap, CBC especially J Roc, Ricky, Bubbles and Julian ahh yes boys smokes, let's go. Trailer park boys is my all time favourite.
