Bill Simmons Podcast Live at The Wiltern

Bill Simmons Podcast Live

Any and ALL sports fans who have yelled at a T.V. screen in the last weeks watching the Super Bowl or having to see our Rams go - and everyone who’s tired of being at home now that the Winter has gone on just a litttttleee too long - let’s kick this one off the only way that feels right: are you ready to talk sports the way you actually talk sports with your friends? The debates, all the hot takes, the “wait—remember when…?” moments of the zeitgeist, the pop culture detours, the basketball obsession, the legacy talk - and everything in between! On Wednesday the 11th, The Wiltern is turning into the TD zone for all of us who wants to tell us why they’re so upset about the season of our favorite time this season. The Ringer is bringing The Bill Simmons Podcast Live here to the theater for a room full of people who get it, watching playbacks and one of the most influential voices in the industry right here to our eyes in real time. And guess what - we’re here for you! We can’t wait to see you at the show! For all the sports lore and more!

Bill Simmons is an American sportswriter, media executive, and podcast host best known for blending sports, pop culture, and storytelling into one unmistakable voice. He first broke through in the late ’90s as “The Sports Guy” at ESPN, where his conversational style and deep basketball knowledge helped change how sports media sounded. He later created Grantland, one of the most respected sports and culture platforms of its era. After leaving ESPN, Simmons founded The Ringer, turning it into a powerhouse for podcasts and long-form storytelling. The Bill Simmons Podcast became one of the most-listened-to sports podcasts in the world, and in 2020, Spotify acquired The Ringer. Today, Bill remains a defining voice in how fans talk about sports.Live podcast tapings are a whole different beast of theatrical movements - so if you’ve never seen it before, maybe it’s worth seeing while you can. There’s energy. There’s unpredictability. There’s that feeling that something unrepeatable is about to happen. Jokes hit harder, a take that sparks a room-wide reaction, a moment that you’ll later hear echoed online and get to say, “yeah… I was there for that.” Bill Simmons live means the guardrails are off a little, the crowd is part of the conversation, and the night moves fast between sports, culture, nostalgia, and whatever else is on Bill’s mind. And THAT folks is why we want you here live for us when we’re laughing our a**es off in the middle of the room. 

So folks: grab your tickets, bring your opinions, warm up your group chats, and pull up to The Wiltern ready to rage… respectfully, for your team. Y’all know what to do : see you soon!
