The Swing - Podcast 23 - The West's 8 Seed Race is on Fire!
In today's podcast, Owais and HK break down what has been the most exciting race of the bubble. The battle for the eighth and final seed in the west has been absolutely ridiculous with the Spurs, Blazers, Grizzlies and the Suns all having legitimate shots at getting in. Just who will be the last team standing?
The Swing is proud to announce that we are now sponsored by ThriveFantasy. They have eliminated the need to do countless hours of research because they only ask you about the top-tier athletes in a respective sport. Each prop has a fantasy point total associated with the Over or Under based on its likelihood to occur. The more points a selection is worth, the riskier it is! Rack up the most points to win a share of the prize pool.

Create a channel and post it on Youtube. Or maybe get in contact with Raptors Republic and see if they'll work with you by posting it on the site, their podcasts haven't been the same since Will Lou left for Yahoo Sports.

Just a recommendation: if you want listeners early on, keep your podcast short. People don't listen to nobody's talking too much, we only listen to long podcasts of someone we've heard of, and even then we don't have the patience to sit through long podcasts.

Gonna be honest. I turned it off as soon as you told us how many teams are in the Atlantic Division and all their names. Absolutely pointless and sounded like the start of an elementary school class.

Good listen.. seems like a typical podcast where one guy could actually be a professional and the other guy tries to be funny and have hot takes but actually just comes off as annoying
Good job
Will continue to listen on my long drives

But here's my thought. If you have something to say, start by being a poster here who gets known. Bring back the Stat of the Day (SOTD) to engage fans and generate discussion. Then when the podcast goes out, you'll have people who want more.
Also, you can't hide behind initials for your names, and no faces. If you want to be out there, you need to go all in.

I appreciate the feedback and we are definitely all in and looking to add more things (fantasy, betting, games and stats of the day/week) to engage people especially as the season begins. The plan is for us to start doing 2 episodes a week once the season begins and have in-depth talks about certain storylines and games as they unfold.
With better equipment now and more editing I do think we have gotten a lot better (have received similar feedback from other listeners as well) so rest assured that we are in it for the long haul and would love any support we can get.

The Swing - Podcast 6 - Just How Deep is the Pacific
In this week's episode HK and Mr. P dive deep into the last of our division predictions; The West's Pacific. The ridiculous amount of injuries are already threatening to reshape the season and with 2 of the favourites to go all the way in this division the question must be asked; just how deep is the Pacific?!
Will the King be back to reclaim his throne? Will the Klaw get his hands on a ring with another team? Will there be a resurgence from a franchise where the Sun looked like it may have set indefinitely?
