    Great analysis
    I love listening to Samson on the Rapcast Reaction Podcast after each Raptors game because I learn so much about high level technical aspects of the game. Thanks for helping me understand the game better!
  • Reggie 9
    Depressing
    Samson Folk always seems so disappointed. Love the Raps but he makes it hard to listen.
  • Jigspanchal
    Definitely worth subscribing to. These guys are a lot of fun to listen to!
    Highly recommended!

    Outside-Looking In
    Not really into the Raptors, but I found this pod after listnening to the Pacers team preview epsidoe. As talkers go, Sampson is very natural. Almost like a delightfully quirky chameleon. He and Caitlyn brought the basketball goods and posed insightful questions to each other about both teams. Also seemed to be picking up on a vibe between those two. Since then, I've checked back for some of the other shows in this series and each has taken on its own character. Good stuff, Canada.

    Incredibly Insightful
    Can’t tell which was more fun in the 2020 season Samson Folk talking about the Raps or the Raptors staying competitive from ring night to the last minute of the playoffs...but Samson’s insights were always great and pretty worthwhile.
  • long neck internet child
    Go to for raptors content
    I alway check in for insightful analysis of raptors games.
  • Zubcut
    Excellent
    Some of the most intelligent analysis I’ve heard on any NBA podcast. Well done.
  • leonemoy
    Must listen
    For any raptors fan who can't catch the games live. Sam is insightful and delightfully quirky.
  • DAT8390
    Raptor podcast
    This is not a Rocket podcast. We don’t care about James Harden. Thanks
  • Cindisaur
    Consistent podcast
    I really enjoy the post-game recaps and the consistent content that the Raptors Republic puts out. But I had to turn off the most recent episode because Barry went on an extremely long rant about how the WNBA pay “is not a gendered issue” because it’s an inferior product and how bringing up the NBA comparison gives fodder to “idiots to mansplain” while he was in the midst of a mansplaining session. It’s important to think about how the WNBA and NBA are linked and how there isn’t any investment to market the WNBA as a product. While sports may not be “real life” for people, it’s the way these athletes (male or female) make a living. These women don’t have off seasons because they need to play oversees so that they can make a living playing basketball. The WNBA isn’t asking for as much money as the NBA, they just want a fair salary. A similar issue of pay arises from the Canadian and American women’s soccer teams, which are both highly successful and widely watched but make less money than their (far less internationally successful) male counterparts. Just food for thought! Thanks for the hard work guys!

    Raptors Best!
    Colin, is a rising star. Mixes personality and intelligence your looking for in an NBA pod. Must listen to for NBA and especially raptors fans.
  • Kevin H.

  • DanOnTheRun
    Most consistent Raps Pod available
    I’ve been listening for years and the consistence post game analysis is the reason I come back. If you’re a Raps homer this podcast will tell it like it is. Great listen.

    Great podcast
    Love it!
  • Aaron Fischman
    Real-Deal Raptors Analysis
    Blake Murphy does a superb job with the Weekly Extra shows. His mid-March interview with my On the NBA Beat co-host, Loren Lee Chen, actually introduced me to the podcast. Since, I've found that William Lou, too, does an excellent job, whether he's interviewing someone or ridin' solo Jason Derulo style. Keep up the great work, guys!
  • Wonno17
    Great
    Great podcast on Raptors. If you like the Raptors, or just basketball, this is a great listen.
  • trailrunner76
    Super fun podcast on all things Raptors and NBA
    I like the rapport they have on the podcast. They don’t sugarcoat what they say and you can really see that they enjoy watching and commenting on the Toronto Raptors, through thick and thin. Keep up the great work.
  • Go0se15
    Great
    Entertaining and informative. If you like the Raptors I recommend you take a listen.
