On a new episode of BullHQ, host Mark Karantzoulis (@mkhoops) returns from a break to answer your mailbag questions.

Hello Bulls fans. Just a quick programming note letting you all know that BullsHQ has transitioned away from SoundCloud as its podcasting host to Libsyn. This news is more for those listeners who are used to following and downloading the show via SoundCloud. Going forward, unfortunately new episodes will not be available via SoundCloud. You will be able to go over the back catalogue here on SoundCloud, however all episodes, including all new shows will now be hosted over at Libsyn. In light of this, I'm hoping this doesn't cause too much drama for those listeners who have supported and downloaded the show via SoundCloud. You can now get BullsHQ over at Libsyn, in addition to iTunes and Stitcher -- which should be unaffected by this change -- and now Spotify too. Learn more about your ad choices.
