Our Editor's Take

Celtics Talk is a podcast that gives Celtics fans unrestricted access to team news and more. The Boston Celtics are one of the most respected teams in the entire NBA. Star players like Jayson Tatum, Jaylen Brown, and Robert Williams III have helped to lead the team. They have made the Celtics playoff contenders.

The host of the podcast is Chris Forsberg. He is a sports journalist and on-air commentator. Forsberg began his career in 2006 with the Boston Globe. He then moved on to ESPN's Boston office before joining NBC Sports Boston as a Celtics insider. As a sportswriter, Forsberg's work has been a part of various publications. These include such notable sports websites as Bleacher Report and FiveThirtyEight.

One of the best aspects of Celtics Talk is the fact that it is an NBC Sports production. This means that fans can expect interviews with players such as Tatum and Brown. Forsberg brings a considerable amount of experience to bear here. He asks the questions of coaches, players, and staff that are most likely to be on fans' minds.

Forsberg is often not alone on the podcast. Frequently, he will have a cohost to assist him. Former Celtics point guard Eddie House often appears in this role, as he is now an NBC Sports team member. This helps to keep the commentary on the podcast fresh and exciting.

The podcast is also comprehensive in how much it reports on. Players can expect to hear about everything from game recaps to player injuries, trades, and front-office moves. The combination of access and overall detail makes this an excellent listen for any Celtics fan.

New episodes of Celtics Talk air four times a week. They are available on Sundays, Mondays, and Wednesdays. The fourth day rotates depending on the availability of players and coaches. Episodes range in length from 20 minutes to an hour.
