If all goes well, I can start recording new episodes of The Euro Step Brit podcast from next week. Work has been so busy lately, but I really want to bring you more interviews from the world of basketball.
Today, I begin the process of reaching out to people. Wish me luck! 🤞

Five's the magic number!

Bristol Flyers now have a 5-game winning streak in ENBL dating back to last season (club record).

Newcastle Eagles' record win streak is 5 in ENBL (last season).

And London Lions twice won 5 in a row in Europe, in both FIBA Europe Cup (2021-22) and EuroCup (2023-24).

Despite only being able to release 2 episodes this month, August ends as the 3rd best month of Euro Step Brit to date. Both the Ryan Schmidt and Gareth Murray episodes have done so well, they're already in the top 10 episodes. And so many older episodes got extra listens too.

ICYMI (and going by early listener numbers you didn't miss it!) Episode 24 dropped yesterday.
Was great to finally get Ryan Schmidt on and in amongst all the topics, get an answer to a question about a Hamburg EuroCup game that I've been wanting to ask for ages!
