In Episode 41, I caught up with former Albuquerque Journal staffer Andy Katz to talk about his time spent with the NBA on TNT crew over an 18-day span in Atlanta covering the NCAA Tournament, including Charles Barkley at one point saying he would bet the Albuquerque Journal doesn’t even exist anymore.

Not only does it, but now we’ve got Andy on the podcast (for a second time as he was also on Episode 23) talking about it. Katz also offers up some thoughts on UNM’s new hoops hire, Richard Pitino.

First, here’s the clip of Chuck talking about the Albuquerque Journal:

Hey @TheAndyKatz, can you let Chuck, @TurnerSportsEJ and @TheJetOnTNT know that the @ABQJournal is still alive? Hanging by a thread, but we’re still here. There’s even a nobody here with a podcast he’s welcome to join anytime. pic.twitter.com/CttuXVDry7

We also had an article posted (and published in the April 4 Albuquerque Journal) about my conversation, and the podcast, with Katz.
