A list of ultimate frisbee podcasts
This post is exactly what you'd expect from the title
Quick introduction
It's time for the next entry in the series where I make lists of things (previous entries: list of frisbee Substacks, list of resources related to the give-and-go).
Currently there doesn't seem to be a great online list of frisbee podcasts. There's a 5-year-old Reddit thread with a few comments (and another one), a more recent Reddit thread that still isn't very thorough, and a couple of lists on podcast sites which are either not very thorough, not strictly frisbee-focused, or otherwise not that great.
So I put together a list myself, as thorough as I could make it. I can't promise there aren't links below that are missing random episodes (for example there are more episodes of The Unintended Receiver uploaded on Spotify than there are on the YouTube playlist).
Please let me know if I'm missing a podcast and I'll be happy to update the article.
Quick recommendations
I don't listen to many podcasts. I listen to Deep Look most weeks to stay up-to-date on the ultimate frisbee world. I've enjoyed at least one episode of all of the following: Coach Speak, Wan and Only Sports, Share the Air, TOBU Fitness. I've never listened to a full episode but have definitely heard good things about One Throw at a Time and Pod Practice. Feel free to add your recommendations in the comment section.

Came up in a Spotify search for "ultimate frisbee" but I've never seen mentioned anywhere else:
I searched for "ultimate frisbee" on Spotify after a first draft of this list to see if I was missing anything. A few more podcasts came up in that search:
Macedonia Ultimate Frisbee (Spotify, YouTube)
Ultimate Training Podcast (Spotify, YouTube)
Stalling | der Ultimate Podcast (in German?) (Spotify, YouTube)
Again, please don’t hesitate to get in touch if you have suggestions to make this article better or more complete. Thanks for reading.
What's a good one if I don't care about players or teams or leagues, but want to listen to people talk about how to be the best player possible (strategy, technique etc)
