Zach Lowe joining The Ringer, new pod next week

  1. Finally!

    The Ringer was always the most logical next destination for Zach.

    Hopefully they don’t thrust as many “company-mandated guests” onto Zach’s pod as ESPN did to the Lowe Post the last few years.

  2. Just in time for the playoffs. Glad it didn’t take till after the season.

  3. The Ringers Basketball content is already really solid. And it’s now easily the best on the market.

  4. Simmons did his thing lol

    But for real, great news for basketball fans

  5. Honestly it was probably some non compete written into the severance he got. Probably had a 6 month time frame or something. Pretty common stuff

    Edit:oops meant this to respond to someone who wondered why it took so long

  6. I always hate that companies keep naming rights even if they know they’ll never do anything with it.

    The Lowe Post was such a good name

  7. PRAISE BE, THE PRODIGAL SON RETURNS

    Zach’s analysis (his podcasting specifically) was one of the main things that grew and held my attention and interest in nba basketball, and since he’s been gone, following the season just hasn’t been the same. Tried to replace his analysis with other podcasts but nobody comes close to his combination of insight, humour and warmth. Can’t wait for his return!

  8. This makes me so happy, really been missing the Lowe Post. Hope he was able to get some R&R with his family.

  9. I still can’t believe ESPN let him go while giving Kendrick Perkins a new contract.

  10. He got fired in late September, so looks like he had a 6 month no-compete that is up now. Happy for him. Dude clearly loves talking basketball.

  11. Bill probably got Spotify to cut Zach a big check. Happy to see him back — and just in time for the playoffs!

  12. This is like Golden State replacing Harrison Barnes (KOC) with Kevin Durant (Lowe) in 2016.

  13. Don’t know who fumbled it more, the Mavs w/ Luka or ESPN w/ Zach. Either way, great to have him back right in time for playoffs

  14. Loved Zach from the beginning – I used to print his SI Point Forward articles for my time in the toilet

  15. Just out for a walk and can’t wipe the smile off my face hearing this

  16. Just glad to have Zach back to listen to. He was my favorite nba podcast, the one I always listened to first.

    No if only the ringer would hire Rohan so we could get Pina and Rohan back too.

  17. A podcast that actually provides analysis and Xs and Os conversations?

  18. I feel like this was inevitable. Realistically where else would Zach have gone that will pay him as well as ESPN did or close to it, as well as provide him with all the freedom in the world?

  19. Was hyped when J Kyle Mann joined because I was a huge fan of The Dime Drop

    Hyped now because I like the Lowe Post

    If Bill continues this trend he’s gonna get Ben Taylor of Thinking Basketball next
