Get to Know: Busted Bucket

"Bust-A-Bucket. Bust-Bust-A-Bucket." A song lyric that will forever live in the brains of Trail Blazers fans... and a song that comes to mind when you hear the title of the Busted Bucket podcast! It doesn't get much more Portland than that.

Busted Bucket started in 2020 as an escape from the pressures of the pandemic. Tim and his buddy were frontline healthcare workers, navigating the ever changing and uncertain scenario brought by COVID-19.

Both of them grew up with the Blazers, and discussed games regularly. So what better way to escape the daily stress they were facing than to create a podcast to share with the world? The name is an homage to Bust-a-Bucket, which many Rip City fans know all too well.

The show began as a recap show, hosted by two lifelong friends and Blazer fans. Through the years a lot of the show has evolved. What used to be a weekly recap show is now a show focused on peeling back the curtain with narrative episodes and interviews focusing on the human aspect of sports, athletes, and events. Busted Bucket is a raw and genuine show. Unfiltered. Unabridged.

Whether you are looking for a story to be told, or a behind the scenes peek into your favorite team, we think you will find it with our show.

Your Pals,

Tim and Gary - Busted Bucket
