Season 2 of The Baseline is here, and we’re kicking things off with a dynamic episode! Hosts Jonathan Rears and Meir Cohen reintroduce the podcast, share our renewed vision for connecting the basketball world, and dive into some of the most exciting stories in the global hoops scene.

Joining us as a special guest is EJ Mildwurf, our behind-the-scenes mastermind who’s stepping into the spotlight to share his perspective on basketball’s global influence. Together, we explore the sport’s impact across borders and cultures, highlighting the stories that make the game so much more than just what happens on the court.

We’re also debuting our brand-new segment, The Shot Clock—a rapid-fire Q&A that keeps the energy high and the insights flowing.
