The Bucks’ awesome podcasts will now also be available on BH, including Hear District with Marques Johnson
Followers of our Twitter/X account may have noticed a few days ago some exciting news we relayed for this season:
Excited to announce that we’re partnering with @BucksPlusAudio this coming season! Episodes of all their great pods and content, including Hear District with Marques and Kris Johnson, will be available on BH. Stay tuned to see some crossovers between Bucks+ and BH too

If you don’t know yet what Bucks+ is, don’t worry! It’s a joint effort by Good Karma Brands— the owners of many ESPN Radio stations in WI and the Bucks radio network—and the team that they introduced soon after the New Year. By the spring they were going full steam ahead with audio/visual content about the team in podcast form. Here is the official release.
Probably their most notable podcast is the excellent Hear District with Bucks legend and TV analyst Marques Johnson and his son Kris of the 1995 NCAA champion UCLA Bruins. In their 36 episodes so far, the Johnsons have sat down with (*takes deep breath*) NBA legends like Joe Dumars and former Warriors GM Bob Myers; Bucks legends Junior Bridgman, Sidney Moncrief, and Brandon Jennings; assistant GM Milt Newton and Bucks CEO Peter Feigen; new rookies AJ Johnson and Tyler Smith, plus journalists and broadcasters both national (Bomani Jones, Marc Spears, etc.) and local (Dave Koehn, Eric Nehm, etc.) with surely more too come. Not bad.
I’m very pleased to be working with Monis Khan, the editor-in-chief of Bucks+ and a Milwaukee native, to help bring you the outstanding work he and his team have been churning out since spring. I’m also excited to add that we’ll have some crossovers on our own Deer Diaries (A Milwaukee Bucks Podcast!) with Bucks+ from time to time, just like we’ve done with our friends at Locked On Bucks. Stay tuned for some new and fun names stopping by the site and pod this season.
For starters, you can watch and listen to Hear District’s most recent edition below featuring The Athletic’s Eric Nehm:
You can also subscribe to Hear District below via Apple Podcasts and Spotify. All Bucks+ pods are available on several other platforms as well, but we’ll just link these two when new episodes drop.
In addition to Hear District, Bucks+ produces Bucks In 6 Minutes, a postgame audio recap with Greg Matzek of WTMJ and ESPN Milwaukee that only takes six minutes of your day. Look for these in our extended recaps. There’s also Behind the Bucks presented by Gallagher, a longer-form, episodic format featuring untold stories from people around the team over the decades. Finally, there is Courtside with Gale Klappa, where the minority owner and WEC Energy chairman interviews current team personnel. Here are links to subscribe to all of their pods on Apple Podcasts and Spotify. You can also listen to all of them at bucks.com on their Bucks+ page and catch Hear District on their YouTube channel for the full visual experience.
Thanks to the Bucks and Good Karma for bringing us this content and for partnering with BH!
