Episode 3 of the pcbb1917.com Friartown Fan Voice podcast is live. In this episode I recap the first 11 games of Providence’s non-conference schedule, preview the final 2 games and give some thoughts on the announcement made on December 15th about the Ruane Friar Development Center.

This should be available in iTunes so you can subscribe and be automatically notified when a new episode is uploaded in the future. I’m planning on doing one more podcast in 2015 to preview the Big East schedule, so keep an eye out for that between Christmas and New Years.
