Today's guest is our producer and editor. He has a silky smooth jump shot and a dry sense of humor. He is a huge Lakers fan, which is evident by the fact he only has one hat as his piece of merch to show off his fandom. He's helped the pod in so many ways and I'm forever grateful to him. Please welcome... Gabriel Granillo.

In this episode, I talk with Gabriel about growing up watching the Lakers and how a sports journalism class in college got him back into basketball. We also talk about the future of the The GoldenPod and what listeners can expect moving forward. Then we cap things off with a freshly tailored START, BENCH, CUT: Lakers Jerseys Edition!

Today’s guest is the Guinness World Record holder for the fastest marathon while dribbling a basketball. She’s been on So You Think You Can Dance, and if that wasn’t enough, she’s a French teacher as well... it’s Maria Babineau!

In this episode, Ted talks with Maria Babineau about the challenges of breaking a world record, as well as her charity work with Ronald McDonald House. They also dive into Maria's varied and eclectic background as a hooper, dancer, and teacher.

Today’s guests are two of the faces of Back to the Basket. They are the geniuses behind their social media. They're tapped into Portland's sneaker culture, and have a solid grip on the sports world. I’m excited to welcome Jalen Thomas and Keyshawn Vogt!

In this episode, Ted talks with Jalen Thomas and Keyshawn Vogt about their basketball-themed/sneaker shop in Portland called Back to the Basket, as well as their respective basketball backgrounds.
