There is always plenty to talk about in the world of English basketball.
Rising stars, veteran trophy hunters, NBL, BBL, national teams - hopes and dreams, pride and passion, frustration and sacrifice.
Basketball England is joining the conversation via a new platform after launching the podcast 'Timeout'.
We have already chatted with Myercough College's young coach Neal Hopkins, experienced beyond his years; former Leicester Riders media maestro Joe Pinchin on his journey to the Chicago Bulls; and Ipswich youngster Harriet Welham, already thinking about how she can help the next generation.
