The House That Rick Built

@DoctorB and for anyone else interested, the condensed edition of the podcast is up now. Stuen can talk so I tried to pick some essential clips to include, and even then it ran up to 20 minutes, but hopefully that’s more digestible than 2+ hours. I’ll make sure to note down the important stuff going forward so I have better clips, but let me know if this is the type of short hand stuff that would make consuming the show easier for people. Also, for everyone that listens I changed the intro for the show, added a video element now so that it translates well to the YouTube form of the podcast. That is also included in this YouTube video, can also be found on our Twitter I will try to attach that link here as well. Thanks as always for following along. YouTube:

I’d also add on that episodes which don’t include an interview normally clock in around 45 minutes to an hour, which is a conscious decision on our part to keep things concise, so all we’ve been doing are abnormally long episodes in a row in place of not having basketball to talk about. Your normal listening work load is not much more than 45 minutes.

I’m always happy for the responses from you guys. You are very much correct that our numbers would go up but it’s fluff too because it doesn’t mean our actual audience numbers are growing it just adds consistency to our numbers, especially when it comes to how we can actually use those numbers whether it’s sponsorship or otherwise. Also, our numbers would indicate that when I used to split up the interviews into multiple episodes, the numbers were always lower on part two because people don’t always make it back to the second part, so that’s another place we could lose on those numbers. But also at the end of the day it doesn’t really matter that much because again it’s not really growing the audience as much as it maybe just inflated our egos about how successful the show is. Lol. All of that being said as always we are happy to hear from people on the board or elsewhere about the show, curious what your thoughts are on changes, and happy to make changes so that this show best fits the audience it’s made for. Also feels like you are assuming a lot because the numbers on the last episodes, some of our longest episodes, have all been some of our best numbers, meaning not too many people are shying away based on length. I’m hopeful that posting clips of the full interviews in 5-10 minute segments that are some of the most enlightening parts of the show help people digest the content easier as well. At any rate as always I’m grateful for the feedback and continued listens from everyone.

Not complaining about the feedback at all. It will be something that I will add to our content list, maybe a 10 minute clip with the important takeaways from the show. At least we have a better idea of what everyone is wanting.

I will be cutting up more clips from the show of important quotes and putting those up on our YouTube channel. Make sure to subscribe so you don’t miss any important information!

Because I don’t say my name at the beginning of every episode. Just giving you a hard time, I’m happy you liked it. As the season comes back and there are video highlight packages I can include and clip into the show, different media elements that can be added etc. First try and obviously as you said there were glitches we ran into. Curious did you throw this up on a tv, or just watch on your computer/mobile device?

After a few weeks off we are back and trying something new. ‪Episode 76: An Interview With Ford Stuen‬ ‪Our first video episode as well, which is now up on YouTube‬ ‪Apple: https://podcasts.apple.com/us/podcast/the-house-that-rick-built/id1450098755#episodeGuid=https%3A%2F%2Fapi.spreaker.com%2Fepisode%2F30117500‬ ‪Spotify: https://open.spotify.com/episode/6vX5NxSVD3BcM2gV8awGfa?si=jjo8fSaxSyqpIaRGPnkHbQ‬ ‪Spreaker: https://www.spreaker.com/episode/30117500‬ ‪YouTube:

New episode is out, different than normal kind of a three hour running conversation. Had the guys from 3 Bid League come on to talk A10 and SLU, then myself and John from West Pine Warriors talked conference and coaches.

Just a friendly reminder that in a little over 5 hours our interview with Paul Biancardi drops. Make sure to check that out, Paul does Monday With Majerus on Twitter every Monday, has a lot of love for a Rick and a lot of great stories To tell about Rick (not as explicit as other interviews). If you haven’t in the mean time check out our other interviews, likely some more new stuff in the pipeline so as always stay tuned here, the way you guys have been listening to this podcast without any actual basketball is truly awesome and it’s very much appreciated. Hope you enjoy.

Okay so then we were pretty close with calling it the Plaza. Not as bad.

Was it the Chase Plaza hotel?

Paul Biancardi joins the podcast on Monday. We may be the worst podcasters ever because we couldn’t remember the name of the hotel Majerus lived at downtown, so I’ll apologize for that in advance. But it’s also a great interview, another one I think everyone will love.

Forgot to publish last nights episode but it is up now, should show up on platforms shortly. Brought @Pistol on again to talk the Okoro signing and Madani leaving, along with breaking down some of our favorite moments in Billikens history. Don't forget to check out the Chris Sloan interview.

I would counter this by saying I feel like watching a sporting event from the top of a parking garage on campus would be a blast, especially with downtown somewhere in the background depending on how it’s all laid out and again I have no idea how any of this would work or look. Also, anyone who has a problem with the views from their apartment/residence can bite it, we are talking about more important things here.

@billikenfan05 talked about putting a lacrosse surface on top of the Olive/Compton garage, or we at least dreamed about what that would look like on the podcast a while back. I feel like the land locked nature of the sports complex will definitely make expansion for baseball brutal, if not impossible, but if there's a will there's a way. No idea what the actual dimensions would have to look like but, as has been mentioned already, without money this is a totally moot point.

Chris Sloan Interview out now. Should show up on all platforms soon. Jumping on to record another "normal" show tonight which should be up by tomorrow morning.

I finished editing the Sloan interview, will be out soon hopefully. Waiting on approval with something and then will run it out. Stay tuned in the next few days for that update.

That's awesome. Would never object to that. Thank you for archiving that as I have a feeling it will help a lot as the interviews continue to stack up.

Appreciate all the feedback on our recent interviews. Hopefully you guys check those out, if you haven’t yet go check our page and don’t forget to drop us a rate. Shameless plugs. Thank you again to everyone that is listening.

I mean I’m not arguing Loe is necessarily better but I’m saying I like Loe and in the interest of adding other names to the conversation I dropped in Loe.

We lived by the Rob screen at the top of the key in the Butler game (likely others just don’t want to over state what I don’t actually know) which was absolutely deadly because it’s either pick and roll, or more often times pick and pop. You never know what’s coming and both can kill you.

Probably not but it’s fun to be a little different. Also just watched the Butler/SLU match up and seeing him drop a hook, mid range jumper and two threes early in that game reminded me of his versatility, something I think I overlooked when he was playing.

Personally feels like the three you might almost have to have on there is Larry, Ed, and Claggett. Bonner is a strong case I love Rob Loe though and such a versatile player. Justin Love was a name I totally forgot.

New episode out with @Pistol and Carter Chapley. Talked about SLUs newest commitments, broke down the 2019-2020 season, and did an all time team - in a perfect world if you could make a starting five of former Billikens players, what would that look like for you. Also included sixth men as well. Let us know who you would put in your all time team. iTunes: https://podcasts.apple.com/us/podcast/the-house-that-rick-built/id1450098755?i=1000472039901 Spotify: https://open.spotify.com/episode/05iYLWntWh9PKxrwqtqnaW?si=G6v2LEK2QvmJG72mfY0HhQ Spreaker: https://www.spreaker.com/episode/25796726 Don’t forget to check out the Billiken Vault games @billikenfan05 put up on YouTube.
