Karaban is very impressive and articulate. Fantastic ambassador for us

Thank you very much for listening. Can’t wait to speak with more players, Coaches, authors, and sports media. Nearing 60 episodes in our library.

Admittedly I’ve only started listening to podcasts on a consistent basis fairly recently bc my wife refuses to give up Sirius radio even though we no longer really listen to Stern and the premium channels. So I feel obligated to listen to Sirius bc we’re paying for it. But all the UConn focused podcasts I’ve listened to have been great. Will have to get my kid into it also as he’s about the same age as your son.

Joseph loved speaking with a young athlete he admires and rooted so hard for!

Several great ones.

Great interview. Thank you for doing these.

Two random questions:

How many listens in total do your more popular ones get ?

Were you able to throw any NIL Alex’s way for coming on your show?

Thank you!

Since Joseph was 7 we’ve been fortunate to be sponsored by Topps baseball trading cards.

We did participate in NIL for Alex.

When I started the show I wanted (one) listener. My son. Years down the road, to hear my voice and thoughts. It’s our hobby.

Sixty episodes ago I guess we had a few hundred listeners per show. Now with NBA, MLB, sports, and UConn storytelling, exposure, and passion we have a few thousand each drop. The Jim Calhoun episode, Washington Post article and NBC Boston TV interview of us, really went viral.

It’s important to rate, review, and share, so more fans can explore our library and enjoy a creators work.

Thanks again.

Really well done. You and your son did a great job preparing and all of the questions were insightful. I am glad you asked Alex about the so called UConn playbook that was making its way around Twitter. Like you I was curious about that.

You don’t think Topps bought us hats?

I neglected to mention, Field is my sons little league field. lol

Speaking of shirts. It’s cool for a 10 year old to see kids at his school wearing his gear. We got sent like 200 for Christmas.
