The Annual Duke Basketball Tree Pod: 2019 Edition (With Joe Gaudio)

(2018-19, Ep. 29)

The deep dive of all deep dives!

It's tiiiiiiiime to check in with all the ex-Dukies in basketball roles. Spoiler, it's a long list. Whether it be current players, coaches, and front office personnel in the NBA or college coaches, the sheer amount of highly successful ex-Duke players (and Mike Brey) does a great job of representing how impressive the program really is. For this monumental task, I brought on Joe Gaudio to help out, a huge Duke fan based in New York who you may very well hear from again on future pods.

**The audio issues from Joe's audio end are unfortunate and no fault of his. Despite my best efforts, I was unable to fix them post-recording, though I did improve the quality as best I could through editing. I apologize, will do everything possible to prevent that from happening in the future, and appreciate everyone's understanding.
