I really enjoy your Penn State podcast. Itsauthentic, and you speak the truth in a way that’s fun to listen to; many other podcasts are afraid to say certain things, but you don’t shy away. Your conversations are thoughtful and well-researched, and I appreciate how you bring in diverse perspectives without losing the personal voice that makes the show engaging.
Awesome episode Cory and Shawn, I found your recap after the Oregon game to be very therapeutic. I appreciate that you are willing to get real regarding the state of the team and say things other pods aren’t willing to. Keep up the great work.
