What a looong few months it has been for British basketball enthusiasts, with Mr Hodge & a few others being the *only* source of any information at all! I like the fact that in the first two episodes nothing is airbrushed, he & his guests talk straight about the utter mess the sport got plunged into. Really enjoyed the first two, would be good to see you on Threads as well instead of just the bad place. Thank-you for being a voice for the fans.
