We announced late Sunday night that he is going to be joining The Ringer and Spotify.
He launched the Zach Lowe Show, which you can subscribe to on Spotify or wherever you get your podcasts. It's going to be a video podcast twice a week, Mondays. Thursdays, maybe a couple other stunt special pods episodes during the course of the playoffs. Who knows? Writing as TBD. We talked about that when he comes on here in a little bit. We want to do a big gimmick for Zach's return pod.
He has not done a podcast since... I think beginning of October, something like that. So he had a lot of takes to get off. And I had a blast. We went for two hours. It's super fun. Zach Lowe is back. He's here. Coming up first, our friends from Pearl Jam. All right, my old friend Zach Lowe is here. He is joining The Ringer and Spotify. We're back, baby.

It's good to see you too. And yeah, new name, new show, new graphics, new everything. And I've been paying attention to the NBA season as I normally would have, even though I didn't have a job. I've been watching probably even more than usual because I've had no other work to do. I've been meeting people in the city when they've come in and I've traveled to some places.
So I've kept my finger on the pulse in preparation for a potential in-season return, which is now imminent.
