About the show

Welcome to First to the Floor, a Boston Celtics channel bringing you levelheaded overreactions, occasional coherent analysis, and a few laughs (we hope). The First to the Floor team, Ben Vallis, Jake Issenberg, and Wayne Spooney, might not be traditional members of the media, but that’s some of our charm. As part of the CLNS Network, we have unique access to great guests like Abby Chin, Chris Forsberg, Drew Carter, and sometimes we even let Barstool’s Dan Greenberg join. No matter how you like your Celtics content, we’ve got you covered. Between full-length pods, live game watch-a-longs, articles for Celticsblog, clips, and film breakdowns, let us be your spot for everything Celtics. We aren’t in this for the money (otherwise we’d all be homeless by now), we do it because it’s fun. And what makes it fun is interacting with our listeners. F2TF isn’t just a podcast, it’s a community. So, jump into the community, join the Discord, subscribe on YouTube and your favorite podcast app. 🕒Check out this week's underrated plays vid: https://youtu.be/aiSOMrMsX1k 🎙️Subscribe to the podcast: https://podcasts.apple.com/podcast/first-to-the-floor-a-boston-celtics-podcast/id1351038879 📷Follow us on Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/firsttothefloor18/ 🍀Watch live Celtics games with us: https://playback.tv/celticsblog 😮Check out Spooney's latest column on CelticsBlog: https://bit.ly/3UCITHv 🚨JOIN OUR DISCORD SERVER: https://discord.gg/H75UWjmtya 👕Buy our MERCH, Support the show!: https://bit.ly/fttfmerch
