Hello fellow Duquesne Dukes Fans,

I am proud to announce the creation of a new podcast titled "All Dukes Sports Talk" it will be hosted by B.B. Flenory and Robert Healy and (myself) Rudy Longarini (CalDuke on this message board). The purpose is to give fellow Duquesne Sports fans another vehicle to express there opinions and celebrate everything about Duquesne University Sports.

In line with that, being the producer of the podcast, I felt the need to expand and include our talking topics to all Dukes Sports... even the obscure and lesser known sports, like (Track and Field, Bowling, Swimming, Tennis , Volleyball etc...)  The last segment on every show will be devoted about to one of these sports. Of course, our primary focus will be on Basketball (Men's and Women's teams), the Dukes Football Team and (Men's and Women's) Soccer Teams, as well. Our first episode ran a bit longer (53 minutes),than expected.  Because, about the first 20 minutes or so, was spent by the 3-hosts introducing themselves and their journey of being and becoming Dukes Sports fans. We addressed last years Men's and Women's Teams and their individual team's runs, in- season and eventual  post-season successes.....We didn't start talking about this season start, by both B-Ball teams, until about the 25 minute mark. I predict that in the future each new episodes will be about 30 mins to 40 minutes long. As I stated in the video we will be doing this on a weekly basis, while school is in session. Taking summers off...

We're all, the (3-hosts) doing this because of our love for Duquesne Sports... with no expectations, other than you as a viewer and fellow Dukes fan, will seek us out and watch us, each and every week. The best way to support us is to watch every week (all the way thru each episode), as this will help us with the algorithms and searches on Youtube  itself. Most importantly make sure you  Like and Subscribe to the "All Dukes Sports Talk channel. I purposely named the podcast, to start with letter A as "All Dukes Sports Talk" because on my Android-Google TV the Youtube subscriptions are listed in alphabetical order, so if and when you,  Subscribe the next time you enter your subscriptions section in Youtube, the All Dukes Sports Talk will show-up on top of your list.  I don't know about any TV Brands however?? I posted the video at 1 am Wednesday morning... so it may take a few hours to a couple of days for the "All Dukes Sports Talk" to show up on searches in Youtube particularly on various TV's .. To my surprise when I did a search on Youtube itself (on both my laptops) for All Dukes Sports Talk...  the channel properly came up just fine. When I did a search on my wife's Google TV for the Channel, I had no luck finding it at all.. So its pretty much a crap-shoot, whether it shows up or not?? 

So its essential that you Like and Subscribe to the show by doing so on this direct link  provide here https://youtu.be/fu7LSqtfCXU?si=pLrKajFo6sZmhaUE that way you will never loose us, because you we will always be in your... Youtube Subscription section. It doesn't cost you anything, so Like and Subscribe ...You know you want to... LOL

 I just want to say that this message board has been a great inspiration to me and will continue to be, as well as a great source for many of the questions and topics to be covered in future episodes. I personally will feature topics that are covered on this message board. I also plan on inviting many of this boards members' and contributors to be guests on future podcasts.... It's as simple as me inviting you via a Zoom meeting...  Zoom is perfect for what we attempting to do !!!... One of my main purposes of the podcast is to give you guys and gals, on this board, a chance to participate. I would love to get someone like CLK, PhoenixRising2, NapaDuke, BluffHunter, Styles1229, just to name a few, to come on in future podcasts.

Our next show will be recorded on Sunday nite after the Dukes Men's  Basketball Game vs. South Dakota... I will start a All Dukes Sport Talk thread here each week before our the show being shot and recorded.  That way I can simply come on here and see and ask questions or thoughts  that you guys have, about the past games or episode's etc,... I plan on taking 1 or 2 topics every week directly from this board. If things go well... I anticipate future podcasts to be  Streamed Live  !!! also... So great things are on the horizon and this boards involvement is crucial to our success. So tune us in.. each and every week and spread the word about us.

I've included the link to the video here again...https://youtu.be/fu7LSqtfCXU?si=pLrKajFo6sZmhaUE and always remember to Like and Subcribe.  After watching the video and subscribing...  please feel free to leave comments on here... For some reason I can't turn on the comments for the episode... All further things for mee to figure out We're always looking to improve our efforts...as a note to you guys . I know that I'm the weak link in the show. I was way too nervous and demonstrative for my liking ... but I promise to get better... I really botched the opening introductions... but I got better as the podcast went along... At least that's what I tell myself...LOL

I found our first efforts to be pretty good and rather entertaining ...what do you think ?

Let Go Dukes !!!

Cool! I will definitely check it out. Do you have any plans to also upload to the Apple Podcasts app, SoundCloud, or something of that sort? That would help with listening on the go. I like to enjoy podcasts on a drive.

Congratulations Rudy on setting up this podcast.  It will add a lot to this Board.  You can add a direct YouTube link like the one below by clicking on "Post Reply" and a YouTube button will appear on the top of the reply box.  You can click on this icon and then insert the web address for the YouTube video you want to post.  If you have any questions on how the Board works let me know.  Thanks for the invite, however, I am not a podcast guy and think there a lot more smarter guys than me on this Boad.

I thought it was great!  I'm looking forward to the next episode!  

I've subscribed on YouTube and noticed that I was number 18 in signing on.  With 545 registered member of this message board we need to get close to that number of subscribers to the podcast.  All you need to do is click on the 'subscribe' button when you watch the podcast.

CalDuke (Rudy) and I are old friends going back to living next door to each other on the 6th floor of St. Martin's in 1974.  I'm thrilled that my friend has done such a cool thing to promote all of the Dukes teams.

Hey guys,  I really appreciate all your comments and reaction to the new show!
Like my old friend VBC stated getting more and more people subscribed and watching the show thru this message board is my no.1 goal... Right know after only 24hours since airing on youtube,  we have gained 110 views and 19 subscribers. I would like to see those number increase, especially in the subscription area...With over 500 plus members on this boards, I'd like to see those no.s increase to over 100 + subscriptions, if possible, this next week!

So all you Dukes fans out there....please support our efforts by Subscribing and Liking the "All Dukes Sports Talk" channel.

VBC are you still hosting a local radio Sports Program locally in the Pittsburgh area? Maybe we can have you on,  at some point?!

Let's Go Dukes !!!

Episode-2 of "All Dukes Sports Talk" will be recorded Sunday at 4pm, after the South Dakota State vs  Duquesne game. I will be start a "All Dukes Sports Talk" thread (here) sometime early Sunday morning.

Hopefully forum members will come on here and post topics and questions that we will cover during the recorded 2nd episode of the show. So stay tuned...

By the way, by me posting this here now, isn't it really starting the show's thread.. a few days early? Wow that just blew-my-mind.. LOL...  Well I guess it is...but rest assured I will be starting the Sunday show thread on Sunday morning, anyway.

However, if you feel compelled to post a topic or a question early... I'm all for that too! 

Let's Go Dukes !!!

I finally got to listen and enjoyed it a ton. Having Bob Healy and BB Flenory on was fantastic. Two people with true passion and experience with Duquesne having great conversation and telling great stories. I love BB's stories about being a Duquesne fan growing up all the way to being a part of the motivation given to last years March Madness team. Healy truly seems to be a true gem of the university, and has a vast amount of knowledge for the sports other than basketball as well. Excited to watch this grow!
