"The Calendar Turns to September & Gearing Up for Season 2"

What we wanted to do to start with is let our viewers and listeners know, Chow, we have an exciting announcement.

We wanted to formalize this podcast production, and so we have officially started a LLC entity called State of Hoops Productions LLC, registered with the South Dakota Secretary of State's office.

So, uh, we are really excited about what we have in store here for season two, which begins in October.

Um, the podcast will continue to cover basketball from all angles.

And we have some great content planned for season two.

But we're looking at doing some more live episodes in season two and just making it more of a brand.

So any thoughts on our newly created entity?

Well, Schleck, I'm glad that you're able to announce that.

And we're just-- we're happy to, to get going into season two.

And, and none of that would be possible without the support that this podcast has been given by people out there who have supported it and provided feedback.

Also our sponsors, uh, who, who have been with us since day one to, to support this.

And for you and I, this podcast is-- it's, it's a labor of love.

I mean, and just being able to, to tell the stories of South Dakota basketball, to go back maybe a little bit in time and get into detail and get into the trenches, so to say, on some of these stories, storylines, people who've contributed to hoops in this state.

So happy to announce that and, uh, happy to keep this going.

And I think our listeners are gonna be excited to hear some of the content that we have for season two and some of the things that we're working on as we grow this thing.

So happy to report that.

And again, a big thank you to those that have supported us in this venture.

Yeah.

What started as really a idea, a fun banter back and forth, has really taken off into its own brand.

And again, that wouldn't be possible without the fans of basketball.

We've said it from the very first episode, South Dakota is a basketball state.

That's proven to be true throughout season one.

And, and, uh, you mentioned our sponsors for season one.

We're so grateful for Park Bench Apparel and Charles Schwab, Lonnie Struckmann, and Zach Hansen, their agency, and TeefenTaller Homes by Hague Real Estate, and, uh, the South Dakota High School Basketball Hall of Fame, and Insight.

Those five sponsors we're so grateful for.
