Today, Ben and I have our first guest in podcast history. We’re very pleased that it’s Matt Jones of Kentucky Sports Radio, the best and most successful independent college basketball website out there. We talk about how he built the site, what’s happening down at Kentucky, what’s happening up at Duke, and the relationship between writers like him and the mainstream media. Afterward, we try to stick around for Tony Parker’s announcement, but we can’t cut the mustard so we fake an announcement that turns out to be true. Don’t tell the NCAA.

Enjoyed the podcast. BBN thanks you for having Matt on. Definitely coming back here even as a UK fan.
Great show guys keep it up!
Great interview with Matt Jones. Some very provocative, straight forward questions. Thanks!
Came to listen to Matt Jones, stayed for the entire podcast. Not bad for some Dukies. Keep up the good work guys.
Great interview guys! Coming from a UK fan. Keep up the good work!
you guys do good work……pretty much impressed….
enjoyed the show enough to continue listening after the part with Matt ended. well done. a UK fan here who will check back for future podcasts.
Thanks to all the newcomers for stopping by, it’s much appreciated. Hope you continue to enjoy the Walk-Ons. You didn’t even get to hear us mock Bleacher Report or put Ben, a world-renowned trivia whiz, to the test. Stay tuned, pals, and thanks again.

I logged on to hear Matt but listened to the entire podcast because you guys were very entertaining. Keep up the good work.
KSR is looking for new talent if you guys ever decide to leave the dark side. I’m convinced that wavering hand motion that all the fans do when opposing players shoot free throws has somthing to do with the force. JJ great show.
Great show guys. When I want to learn something about the Dookies, I’ll come to you guys first.
Good job guys. Enjoyed the perspective of a different fan base. Go cats. Oh yeah want to know more of the Dawkins rumors
Great college basketball podcast, I’m a fan of UK but ill he subscribing to the podcast.
You guys were the antithesis of clay Travis. Not only were you fair, you were beyond nice and welcoming and even appreciative. I listen to and read ksr everyday and you delved into some areas that were an extremely interesting listen. And I, like most, stayed for the rest. I hope you have a huge bump in downloads and/or subscriptions. Well-played sirs.
Glad to see all the UK folks chiming in. Shane and I are definitely Duke fans, but we just talk college basketball in general so hopefully we’ll keep you guys interested through future guests and shows. Thanks for the kind words, y’all.
