iHeartPodcastswww.iheart.com
The Greatest is a podcast that takes every sports fan’s favorite pastime of discussing, debating, or even all out arguing, who or what are the best of anything relating to sports. From players, teams, games, seasons to even movies (It’s “White Men Can’t Jump” obvi), hosts Megan Gailey and C.J. Toledano, both die-hard sports fans and more importantly married to each other, will cover it all. It’s like if the hosts of Pardon The Interruption also had to raise children together.
