I am proud to welcome the From the Stands podcast, which beginning today will be appearing regularly of Fire Quinito. I’ve been a fan of the podcast by Chuck Araneta, Polo Bustamante, and Carlo Pamintuan for a while now, and I believe this blog’s readers would enjoy listening to it as well.

I joined the trio alongside Niko and Mikkel Bolante of Patay Ang Butiki for its debut podcast on Fire Quinito, an episode which was recorded shortly after our drinking session with Coach Chot Reyes. It was basically us getting drunk and talking into an iPad, and with six of us, it was a bit of a clusterfuck. A clusterfuck of a podcast – a clusterpod!

Oh, but you really ought to listen to it if you’re a PBA fan. We recapped the Philippine Cup finals, discussed Jason Castro, Ryan Reyes, Kelly Williams, my favorite Jay Washington, the structural problems of San Miguel, and Ato Agustin’s coaching. I should apologize in advance though for hogging the mic (hey, I’d been drinking) and for having an irritating nasal voice.

Click on the player to listen, or download the file, or subscribe to it on iTunes or on RSS. And leave a comment, the From the Stands boys just might discuss them in the next episode, or even invite you to come along.

Currently listening to it. VERY interesting topics and points made. Eto yung mga kwentuhang inuman at kwentuhang merienda sa office haha. Really looking forward to more.

Now a fan of your clusterpod. Good job guys!

as I've said in twitter, i find the podcast too long, it would be nice if you split it by topic (similar to FTW). Pero really interesting and good points you all mentioned: how Powerade and SMC sucks getting names than players fitting in the system, a retrospective of the previous conference (and to think we're not yet done in the season), and Ronnie Nathanielsz saying that the PBA is a dying league (HAHAHA).

Pessimists keep on saying that Philippine basketball is dead, they just don't look hard enough. we HAVE a beautiful game going on. Good thing podcasts such as this one keep the game alive. Props again!

Hi Workhorse3! Thanks a lot for the feedback. From The Stands really is all about free-flowing conversation with a few topics in mind. We've tried to limit the time of the podcast in the past, but ang nangyayari is nagmamadali kami to fit it in, so we miss out on a lot of interesting statements and points.

Pero for sure it won't be an hour next week. Mega-Podcast lang 'to kasi kasama namin ang FQ and PAB. Thanks!

until next podcast

I subscribed to their podcast a few weeks ago, and this episode was really the best so far. Maybe next time you should talk about previous MVP's that were questionable *ahem, Miller*, and MVP's that should have been *Seigle, Caguioa*?

Jaemark, what's your reaction to the PBA's move to Studio 23?
