I’m so shocked to hear that this show will not be renewed for another season. The storytelling, cast, costume, look & feel of this show is one of HBO’s best. And this podcast is the cherry on top. Many thoughtful interviews and great perspectives in each episode.
HBO, Please reconsider renewing this show!
Xoxo,
A devoted fan
Awesome podcast and host, I think the show should be brought back for season 3. It is a mistake to cancel the show it was just going to start hitting on the really interesting parts of the lakers dynasty.
It's such a great mini-series that it has the power to make podcasts about Winning Time 5 star.
Great show. I think a moment was missed on the podcast not talking about Riley calling out Magic & Kareem. They are the stars of the team and I think people would like to hear more about that. Especially when Riley told Magic he wasn’t afraid of him.
This guy is oddly obsessed (insecure?) about skin color.
Also makes up half the events for the drama.
