Thanks for asking...I really want to go into this, and this kind of helps allow the podcast to go in that direction

How about the biggest upgrades and downgrades of the offseason, and your continued thoughts on the new college players - how the players are progressing as well as how the draft classes are shaping up?

What style of play do you feel has an advantage in the league currently - "size matters" (two or even three classic big men) or "small ball" (where you run 4 or 5 perimeter guys) or something else?

Nice, we'll get to those, too. Keep the questions coming!

What is your opinion of the current award system? Do you think any awards should be added or removed?

Please talk about TC. After TC was run the few guys that got hit, got hit rather hard. Jokic lost a ton in rebounding(close to 30 pts?). But it seemed like the number of players hit this time wasn't that bad. Do you think TC needs to be manually changed in any way? We've run TC like this for 28 seasons and it is a predictable cycle. Guys get hit, it's random, GMs get pissed and want to quit immediately after it happens. Is TC "just" and perfectly fine how it is?

Livestream was kind of busted...hoping the recording was salvageable. If so, will post here.

Unfortunately the recording was NOT salvageable, so coming soon: THE SECOND ROUND WITH JOSH AND ANDY THE ARTICLE

Yall should use Skype to record? I've done that in the past utilizing "MP3 Skype Recorder" program, and it works great. Produces the file and all for ya. Wig has said a few times that it can be stored on the pbsl server (and louie has been loading these to podcast libraries)

I might look into that, but I have recording software I could theoretically use. It's typically just a matter of getting home from work with barely enough time to eat dinner and set up the Mixlr podcast as it is.

In any case, I think this was an issue of either needing to update my Mixlr software or needing to buy a newer interface with drivers that are sure to be supported by modern software. I've done both of those things, so that should smooth things out for next run.

It's your call...if you want them archived on the ijbl server, I'm happy to get you the files, but if storage is a concern, I've got an unlimited SoundCloud as well.
