“At the beginning of January, we introduced the world to Bucks+, and today, I am excited to have it live for fans,” stated Dustin Godsey, Bucks’ Chief Sales and Marketing Officer. “Our goal is to add more podcasts outside of our initial five, offering more content for our fans. The Milwaukee Bucks’ story is rich and untold, making the possibilities for Bucks+ endless.”
The first story told on Behind the Bucks contains five episodes, featuring Kristin Lappas, Conner Schell, Thanasis Antetokounmpo, Joanne Anton and Jay Williams, who dive deeper into the stories and making of the new Amazon documentary, Giannis: The Marvelous Journey.
“The Bucks+ platform isn’t just about basketball, it transcends it. It will connect fans to the team, tell players’ stories and historic moments in ways we haven’t heard, explore the Bucks Organization, and so much more,” Greg Scalzo, Good Karma Brands Milwaukee Market Manager explained. “Our goal is to peel back the layers of our home team and allow fans a deeper look and understanding. Bucks+ is also a place to tell the story of Milwaukee as it relates to the Bucks and elevate the city we live, work, and play.”
