Today's guest is one half of the social media account Why We Still Hoop, which according to their profile is just "two dudes trying to make relatable hoops content." The pair met in college and now live thousands of miles away from one another, yet that hasn't stopped their love and passion for the game. Please welcome... Raymond Xu!

Today's guests are the founders of Andiem, a basketball shoe company designed to keep you playing. Their shoe focuses on ankle stability using quality materials and thoughtful design.

Today's guest is a talented artist who has worked with the Portland Trailblazers, the Indiana Fever, and the Baseline Review. While he might be self-taught, he's far from an armature. His style is both classic and new at the same time. Not only is he extremely talented, he's also humble and down to earth. Please welcome... Andrew Gragg!

In this episode, we talk with Andrew about his love of the Portland Trailblazers, his artistic background, his current work with the Indiana Fever and Flagrant, and more!

Today's guest is known professionally as JP Boneyard. He is a designer, front-end developer, and a lover of basketball. JP got his start setting up music events in his hometown of Palmer, Massachusetts. Through the necessity to promote those events, JP learned to code and screen print. He currently provides creative direction for Fifty-Nine Parks and the National Poster Retrospecticus.

JP is also working on a new project called the Baseline Review, a series of high-quality prints with inspiring stories from the hardwood, as told by a dream team of writers and illustrators.

Please welcome... JP Boilard!

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!

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.
