Get to Know: The Podland Trailcasters

A longtime staple of the Trail Blazers Podcast scene, the Trailcasters makes its triumphant return with Rose City Central!

Often you hear origin stories that sound made up. "We started in a basement with nothing but a hope and a dream." Well, Trailcasters basically did that.

In the early 2010's, Keith Feltner-Smith started the podcast shortly after Damian Lillard was drafted by Portland, as an outlet for his Rip City fandom. There was no fancy set up. No bells and whistles. Just a laptop set up to record audio while Keith stood at his kitchen counter, the sounds of his Trail Blazers takes echoing off classic Trail Blazers pint glasses.

Keith's fandom was always rooted in Rip City, but it blossomed when he moved back to Portland in the early 2000's and watched the Brandon Roy/Lamarcus Aldridge era start. He still hold his No.7 Jersey, the first he ever got, close to his heart.

Keith has had many different hosts over the years, including Rose City Central founder Chris Burkhardt, but no matter who is behind the mic, the mission stays the same: To tell Trail Blazers stories and share hot takes through the eyes of a fans.

Joining Keith this time around is Dave Myers.

Myers grew up in Beaverton, following the Blazers though the Clyde/TP/Kersey/Buck/Duck era. He re-routed to the Bay Area in 2015, but lucky for us, his Trail Blazers love followed. Despite living in the heart of Warriors Country, he makes sure League Pass is locked on to Rip City!

Like Keith, his love of all things Portland Trail Blazers will easily be heard on every episode of The Trail Casters this season!
