Get to Know: The Scoop

Hearing "The Scoop with Jamie Hudson and Chris Burkhardt" might bring back a few memories.

Years ago, The Scoop was where we hung out before tip-off and after the final buzzer with Blazers fans live on Facebook and on Comcast SportsNet Northwest's website. It was where we talked Blazers basketball, shared stories from around the team, broke down the night's biggest moments, and connected with the best fans in the NBA.

Those shows eventually came to an end.

But the conversations never did.

Now, we're bringing The Scoop back.

Hey Everyone! I'm Jamie and I'm so excited to be joined once again by my friend and former Comcast SportsNet Northwest teammate, Chris Burkhardt.

Over the years, we've been lucky enough to cover the Trail Blazers from courtside, inside locker rooms, at practices, on road trips, and through some unforgettable moments in franchise history. We've watched playoff runs, celebrated incredible performances, witnessed rebuilding seasons, and experienced all the highs and lows right alongside Rip City.

While our careers have taken us in different directions, one thing has never changed—our dedication to covering this team, this city, and the fans who make Portland one of the best basketball communities anywhere.

That's why bringing back The Scoop felt right.

This podcast is a chance to pick up where we left off.

We'll break down games, react to the biggest news, share stories from our years covering the team, welcome guests from around Rip City, and give you the kind of conversations that happen when two friends who've covered the Blazers for years sit down and start talking basketball again.

So, whether you watched us during the good ole Comcast SportsNet Northwest days or you're finding The Scoop for the very first time, we're incredibly grateful you're here.

The conversations will feel familiar.

And while a lot has changed over the years, one thing hasn't...

We're pumped to talk Blazers with all of you.
