Podcasts about Philadelphia, Pennsylvania

The loudest moment on this page is one host alone at a microphone, calling for the music to be cut because LeBron James has signed with the 76ers. That is Philly Take with RB: A Philadelphia 76ers (Sixers) Podcast, the far end of a range rather than an outlier. Nearly everything Philadelphia produces here is about the Eagles, Sixers, Flyers and Phillies, in registers that run from live reaction through barstool argument to draft-guide measurements read aloud. Away from the stadiums the scene is small: a newsroom catching up on the week's stories, and a history show that works through the city one street at a time.

What Philadelphia is

Philadelphia is Pennsylvania's largest city, on the Delaware River between New York and Washington, and one of the most populous cities in the United States. The Declaration of Independence was signed here, which makes 2026 a 250th-anniversary year, and the city fields a team in each of the four major leagues. The summer 2026 episode titles add MLB All-Star week in Philadelphia and, in one news title, World Cup fever.

The Eagles, measured in draft prospects

In the April 2026 titles the Eagles are almost entirely a draft story. PHLY Philadelphia Eagles Podcast runs title after title on the draft, and its clips are the granular end: Bo Wulf and EJ Smith calling Keldric Faulk a potential home-run pick at No. 23, a Penn State edge rusher's three-cone time read from a draft guide, Reuben Bain's arm length set against elite edge rushers. Eagle Eye: A Philadelphia Eagles Podcast, from NBC Sports Philadelphia, works the same beat, down to a 2021 mock-draft clip that takes Caleb Farley at 12 despite his back injury.

The talk shows stand further back. On Kincade & Salciunas, whose titles run Hour 1 through Hour 4, Andrew DiCecco says the Eagles draft for "upside" rather than the "safe pick" at No. 23, and Lou Riddick argues they may need a "succession plan" at quarterback rather than a Jalen Hurts replacement. The Philadelphia Sports Table | Philly Sports News & Views brings the postgame, with one foot in fan frustration and the other in beat-writer detail: after Week 17 against Buffalo, Josh Allen costing his own team five points, Sirianni and Kevin Patullo deciding the offense had done enough, and a 190-to-331 yardage gap.

The Sixers, from the 20-game mark to LeBron

76ers Insiders explains as it goes, a conversation that trusts familiarity with the team but fills in for anyone dropping in late: Matt Murphy putting Tyrese Maxey's 649 points and 150 assists through 20 games alongside Luka Doncic and Allen Iverson, and a 157-point night against the Bulls broken into Joel Embiid's first-quarter burst and Paul George's late scoring. Locked On 76ers - Daily Podcast On The Philadelphia Sixers, with Keith Pompey, is the postgame ledger: after a 123-91 loss to Boston, 39% shooting and 4-of-23 from three, and a verdict that lands on Nick Nurse and the players alike. "Everybody wears it."

Then July, when the LeBron signing runs across this page's titles, news show included. RB's version is the one the feed plays: "We officially did it. LeBron James is a 76er. My hands are shaking, bro." RB lays out a two-year, eight-million-dollar deal taken to compete and calls a projected five of Maxey, Edgecombe, Brown, James and Embiid the league's best, in a solo show that surges rather than builds.

The Flyers, from a hype video to Denny's

The Flyers get the widest emotional range here. The Anthony Gargano Show plays the team's playoff video, which calls the orange and black "a creed" and declares the team "uninvited, unapologetic"; Anthony Gargano frames the Penguins series as Sidney Crosby against Porter Martone, and Rick Tocchet tells him the Flyers believe they can beat Pittsburgh as a substantial underdog. Locked On Flyers - Daily Podcast On The Philadelphia Flyers, with Rachel Donner and Russ Cohen, is two informed hockey regulars working the lineup in real time: where Martone slots without breaking up the top line, whether Shane Van Sagi should go back to college rather than burn his ELC, and Russ calling the league's player-safety defense the "dumbest excuse I have ever heard." By September 2026 the titles are training camp, Matvei Michkov and Martone's Calder case.

Brotherly Pod is the other temperature: angry, sarcastic and fatalistic, two invested fans arguing through one long frustration. One asks what the patience was for if the payoff is only Porter Martone, calls the Tocchet hire wrong and compares the reaction to Ron Hextall at Denny's, and notes that Ristolainen has played 28 games in a calendar year with a year left at $5.1 million.

The Phillies: cold bats and a home All-Star week

The Phillies title run keeps returning to the lineup, from "The Phillies' Bats Go MIA" to "Phillies Bats Go Cold, Will Home Cooking Awaken Them?", with "The Kids Are Alright! Phillies Rookies Save The Day!" as the relief. The show behind those titles, Hittin' Season: A Philadelphia Phillies podcast, is two fans talking themselves through the game, turning each idea over two or three times: Christopher Sánchez's ten strikeouts and no walks over six innings on Opening Day, John Middleton's "Harry the K" and Connie Mack Stadium changes setting off a debate about club history, Edmundo Sosa and Justin Crawford turning a 5-0 deficit against Washington into a comeback.

The talk shows are harsher. On Kincade & Salciunas, Rob Thomson saying the Phillies are struggling turns into a blunt argument about Bryce Harper, Alec Bohm and leadership, then a detour to 2023, when, as one host puts it, "We shocked the world." On the 94WIP Morning Show with Joe DeCamara and Jon Ritchie, DeCamara reframes an 8-9 start as a pace to finish 30 games out of first place. Underground Sports Philadelphia has the city turning the Home Run Derby into a hostile hometown spectacle built around Kyle Schwarber and Bryce Harper, and Mike Sielski and Rob Ellis has Scott Lauber on Schwarber's 1,000th hit and the fan who asked him to re-sign.

Off the field

Off the field the listening comes down to a newsroom and a history show. The Week in Philly from KYW Newsradio turns the week's biggest stories into plain explainers, short setup lines and direct questions with reporters unpacking agencies, courts and budgets. Its clips are two Bucks County teens accused of carrying "Mother of Satan" explosives across state lines toward New York; nearly 100 speakers at the School Board opposing a plan to close 18 schools; and three of six PHL checkpoints closed, with Tim Jimenez putting lines at "a half hour plus."

Found in Philadelphia takes the street itself as its subject: a rail line approved in 1838 to run down Market Street to Third and on to Dock Street and the Delaware, on a collision course with the open-air market that gave Market Street its name; Kensington residents tearing up freshly laid tracks and blocking Front Street in 1842; William Still asking why Black taxpayers were excluded from public highways; and Elijah Anderson on how the 2018 Starbucks arrest exposed the racial fault lines of a seemingly civil space.
