Jurassic Views

By Jurassic Views

Jurassic Views is a fans podcast for the Toronto Raptors. As much as there is analysis and debate, JV is about the heart of the fans and the humanity of the players. Hosted by Courtney Wright, Zaya Kuyena and Bryce Dymond, who have different birth places and born in different decades, all reside in Ottawa and share a common obsession in the Raptors. Be prepared for heart, humour and hyperbole as they swing from the highs and lows of victory and defeat.
