This Single Podcast Will Keep Us Cool For The Summer

It may not be Serial, but for Cleveland Cavaliers fans Road Trippin’ with RJ & Channing is an acoustic version of a Kyrie Irving to LeBron James alley-oop. The podcast features Fox Sports Ohio Cavs sideline reporter Allie Clifton and BFFs Richard Jefferson and Channing Frye who go beyond basketball to talk about real life and more behind-the-backboard looks at our favorite players. When they aren’t breaking news (that whole thing about Irving thinking the world is flat started on the pod), they’ve welcomed guests from James (who talked about almost not passing fourth grade in episode 15) to NBA legends Bill Walton and Tim Duncan (who we learned loves fly-fishing, hunting and video games). “It’s a very humanistic side of them that is so much fun to learn,” says Clifton. “I have a better understanding of who they are.” We’re #allin on listening to old episodes so we can #defendtheland during basketball’s summerlong hiatus. art19.com/shows/road-trippin-with-rj-and-channing
