Wiseman's NOT a Bust ,

Solid

Great insights reppin LA proper! Def a must listen.
— Oakland Warriors Podcast

MEB_2 ,

Covering two teams and doing it well!

Not only is Ray running a solo podcast but he’s also covering two teams. Both of those things are difficult on their own but taking on both is insane. At the same time you can tell Ray cares about both teams and knows his stuff. It’s good to hear a podcaster who you can tell loves their team(s) but isn’t a homer and knows things about other teams too.

Update: Ray’s ability to seamlessly fuse his love for music into the podcast is a great compliment. Definitely helps make his show unique.

Everybody's Review ,

Check this podcast out!

Great podcast from LA Ray! Get good takes on the Lakers, Clippers, and other stuff.
