The Bare's Den w/ Matt Bare
The Bare's Den Podcast is hosted by Matt Bare and this podcast will be an interview style podcast having conversations with coaches, players and friends of the basketball community. I also hope to connect with people from other sports down the road. I’ll focus on interesting stories that have happened around the state and hopefully the country as well. I hope to share the path of many of these guests and how they got to be where they are today. The goal is to connect with you to share interesting stories and perspectives about a particular event, person or team.
