Excellent resource for tri-state college hoops fans

Professionally done, nice flow, incisive questions and commentary, Bryan puts an excellent show out there that I look forward to during the hoops season.

Give these guests a listen!

Bryan’s always sought out the “story inside the story,” and in that pursuit he’s revealed a number of the unsung heroes behind the headlines, and the paths they took, getting the story to the next level. His podcast doesn’t promise breaking news or sensational headlines, but it examines strategies without busting chops and casts broad swaths of memories in a fierce new light.
