Why? Grantland is a fine home for his writing. I don't feel like he's being held back.
Well, when your editors are all gone ... might not be much of a home anymore.

Also really enjoy Chris Ryan and Andy Greenwald on this Hollywood Prospectus podcast, which I assume will also be dead. This sucks.

Love the Hollywood Prospectus. Greenwald is obviously the star of that show, but he and Chris Ryan have such a good rapport.

I'm not so sure he respects ESPN anymore. He's a Bill Simmons guy.
Yeah bummer that this one will be defunct.
The other pretty good TV podcast I've listened to over the years also ended this month -- Alan Sepinwall's podcast with Dan Fienberg. And of course Wesley Morris' movie podcast with Alex Pappademas also recently ended.
Man, I'm telling you, these guys hopping to different media outlets and not being able to record podcasts with each other anymore is a real kick in the nuts.

Damn, this kind of sucks. I'm glad some people are defecting but it's a real bummer about the Hollywood prospectus pod. I'll feel pretty bad for people like Lowe, Barnwell, Greenwald, and Hyden if Grantland falls off. It's a real shame for how good the site was that it wasn't allowed to continue with Simmons.
With the changes to ESPN.com a few months ago, seems pretty clear they aren't terribly interested in the type of researched, well-written content that Grantland provides. They are moving to being almost exclusively the click-bait "stories" that are thrown up in minutes.
So in terms of podcasts since Bill left, grantland's lost (or at least will have to alter):
All BS stuff
Hollywood Prospectus
Food News
Right Reasons
Do you like Prince Movies
NBA after Dark
Watch the Thrones
Any others I'm forgetting? That's a crazy amount of turnover.
