Our Editor's Take

The New York Knicks have a devoted, albeit long-suffering, fan base that remains loyal to the team. Knicks Film School is a podcast that allows fans to stay current with the latest team news in a fun and accessible fashion. It comes from the website of the same name. As its name implies, the show utilizes game tape to provide insightful commentary to fans.

The host of this podcast is Jonathan Macri. He has had a fascinating professional career that led to him hosting this program. He was previously a lawyer and an adjunct professor at Fordham Law School. However, he has been a lifelong sports fan, especially of the New York Knicks. In February 2017, he decided to make a career change and focus on sports reporting. It led to his first job in that field as a writer for FanSided. After working as a reporter for Sports Illustrated, he became the head of operations for Knicks Film School in July 2018. In addition to hosting this show for the website, he writes its daily newsletter.

One of the best facets of this podcast is Macri's inviting and warm tone. His many years as an educator and lawyer serve him well as a host. He also often reads fan mail and messages from regular listeners on the air. The goal is not only to have a show that reports on the Knicks but also to foster a sense of community for the fans.

Another compelling aspect of this podcast is that, on game days, fans get more than one new episode. During the regular season, the show produces a "Pregame Pod" and "Postgame Pod" for each game. This format allows for follow-up reporting to happen in a mere matter of hours. This helpful program feature allows fans to get analysis moments after each game.

New episodes of the Knicks Film School podcast air almost daily and average 50 minutes in length.
