Host Jim Maisano provides an introduction to the College Hoops Chat Podcast for 2024-25 College Basketball Season: 1) After airing as a Radio Show for 3 years (2020 to 2023), College Hoops Chat (CHC) became a podcast last season when WVOX closed. This season the show is changing from audio to video podcast, with shorter videos of 5-10 minutes long. 2) CHC will be doing "Shorts" on YouTube, Facebook & Instagram this season. 3) The show itself remains the same - discussing CBB news from across the country. Since CHC started in 2020, we regularly cover Iona, St. Bonnies, Buffalo, North Carolina, South Carolina, St. John & UNCW. We also cover Fordham & Providence. 4) We'll be interviewing coaches such as Iona's Tobin Anderson & Fordham's Keith Urgo – great coaches and guys and popular guests! 5) We chat a lot about the Big East & ACC and will be doing a preseason preview episodes. 6) Iona is our hometown team. Jim has season tickets and attends all home games. We appreciate that Iona Basketball has been supportive of our show. Go Gaels! 7) We'll continue our popular segment - the NYC Top 10 Metro Area Ranking w/ Jaden Daly. 8) We will be doing panel discussions (like Pat McAfee) with several top CBB Analysts. 9) Vinny Parise will be back. He 's a terrific CBB Announcer on FOX & SNY and former coach. Vinny is a great friend of show and helps us get great guests. Thanks for watching our opening video for the 24-25 Season. Please watch all CHC videos this season! Jim Maisano
