Four eps dropped; lengths range from 45 to 72 minutes.

Takeline / (Crooked Media) / Basketball / Weekly / Website / Apple

A weekly podcast hosted by Jason Concepcion and Renee Montgomery. A fast-paced exploration of the NBA and world of sports and culture. Games, players, controversies and issues that run both on and off the court.

Minnie Questions with Minnie Driver / (iHeartRadio) / Arts / 2-episode drop / Website / Apple

“Enraptured observations” in a celeb-interview format hosted by actor/songwriter Minnie Driver. She templates the show by asking the same seven questions to each guest.

Pre-roll sponsor is Rate.com.
