Zach Lowe looks into the camera.

Zach Lowe is joining The Ringer, marking a reunion with his friend and former colleague, Bill Simmons.

Zach Lowe Joins The Ringer

One of the NBA media’s biggest free agents now has a home at Spotify.

Lowe announced on Monday that he will write and podcast for The Ringer. His podcast, The Zach Lowe Show, premieres on April 7 on the Ringer Podcast Network.

Lowe’s audio and video show will release every Monday and Thursday.

“Welcome to the brand new The Zach Lowe Show,” Lowe said in a video posted to The Ringer’s X account. “That’s right. I’m back to have the same in-depth NBA conversations you’re used to.”

Lowe teased that his show will discuss the X’s and O’s of the games, the drama, the trades, the playoffs, and more.

Zach Lowe Reunited With Bill Simmons After ESPN Stint

In September, ESPN unceremoniously laid off Lowe due to budgetary concerns. Lowe was making over seven figures at ESPN.

In 2012, Lowe joined Grantland and worked alongside Simmons, who eventually left to start The Ringer.

Lowe stayed at ESPN and became one of the company’s best NBA writers.

Over the last few years, Lowe’s role at ESPN expanded to television, as he made daily appearances on the network’s afternoon basketball show, NBA Today. 

Lowe also hosted the popular Lowe Post podcast.

ESPN’s decision to release Lowe sparked outrage on social media, as many of his former colleagues came to his defense to praise the NBA media personality.

After six months away from ESPN, Lowe joins Simmons at The Ringer.

“Obviously, Zach is one of the best people I’ve ever worked with,” Simmons said on his Sunday night podcast. “I was really hoping at some point in life we would get to work together again. So it’s happening.”

Simmons announced that Lowe will appear on his podcast this Tuesday, April 1.
