If You Can’t Handle The Heat

Our Last Podcast For a While

We've got some news to share. We're taking a bit of a breather from our weekly podcast grind. It's been a wild ride trying to juggle everyone's schedules and keep up the quality. Sometimes, it showed - whether it was posting episodes fashionably late or a few hiccups in the audio and video department. But don't you worry, we're not going anywhere! Starting this year, we're switching things up. We're going seasonal, with six episodes a year – one in the spring and one in the fall. And guess what? We've got some awesome guests lined up and a few tweaks to make our show even better, kicking off this spring. We can't wait to get back behind the mic! While we're on this little break, we'll keep you entertained with other fun stuff. So, stay tuned because we've got more content headed your way. And remember, we might pop in with a surprise episode if something big goes down in our world or the volleyball community. As always, you guys are the best. OOS TO THE MOON!
