Coming Soon: The Raptors Reasonablists Podcast

You've gotten a taste of what it's like in writing, but what does it sound like when two people aim to be reasonable about the Toronto Raptors in audio form? Launching next week, The Raptors Reasonablists Podcast will explore that question - and many more - every Tuesday throughout the remainder of the NBA season. Hosted by Blake Murphy with regular appearances by Eric Koreen and special guests, The Athletic Toronto's official Raptors podcast will tackle the popular consternation of the day, looking to find the middle ground in the belief that it will lead to: a) workable long-term solutions; b) increased empathy and understanding for others; and c) more wins when the wins matter most...probably. And remember, if you disagree with people calling themselves The Reasonablists, you, by nature, sound unreasonable. If you have any suggestions, requests, or feedback for the podcast in the coming weeks, feel free to reach out to @BlakeMurphyODC to share them. Learn more about your ad choices.
