Best Wizards Podcast

Love the whole crew. My favorite wizards podcast to listen to on my drive to work.

W(h)iz Kids!

Chase and Chris are a talented and hard-working duo. They break down the Wizards similar to how Wall breaks ankles and Beal breaks nets. If you're a Wizards fan or simply curious about this up-and-coming Eastern elite squad, hopefully you're listening to them. Chase is a terrific interviewer! Love the guests he brings on too. Turning the tables a little, our podcast, On the NBA Beat, had the pleasure of bringing Chase on our show last postseason to discuss Wizards-Celtics, and he was excellent. No surprise there

I’ve tried

I just can’t take the current cast. They try to hard to be cool and funny. I came to the podcast for Wizards information not a bad comedy show.
