Right now is probably the busiest time of year for the Dubuque Area Sports Podcast. Over the past few weeks, we’ve added roughly 500 new followers across social media, which has been awesome to see. At the same time, we’re wrapping up football coverage, recording around 16 girls’ and boys’ basketball season-preview interviews, and already looking ahead to baseball. And when I say “we,” I mostly mean me. 😂 Football, basketball, and baseball coverage is all handled by one person, so I’m doing my best to keep everything moving. There may be a few delays along the way, but I promise I’m working as hard as I can to stay afloat. I also still have two sponsorship opportunities available for the upcoming season, so please reach out if you’re interested. On a much better note, I had the absolute best co-host sitting in with me today during my Hempstead Mustangs girls basketball season preview. Olee didn’t ask any questions, but his presence alone improved the show.
