  • Best duo in Vols Sports analysis

    I’ve been listening to both Josh and Swain for years, Josh did a great job previously hosting the Locked on Vols podcast and Swain brings his entertaining style and commentary from The Swain Event, which I also loved! Together, they are ying and yang and perfectly complement one another in style and substance. Sometimes their banter is like an old married couple it cracks me up!

  • Josh and Swain are awesome!

    Been a long time listener to Josh Ward on WNML, and his show is fantastic. Love the Vols and all the angles they provide on my favorite team. VFL Swain has added a new dynamic, and the duo’s charisma is entertaining to say the least. They cover a wide base in the sporting world including the lighter side of sports; whatever you’re interested in, they will likely discuss it. Highly recommend!

Recent interactions between the hosts and their guests.

Josh & Swain - Hour 3 (3.19.26)
Q: How is Tennessee expected to matchup against Miami University, and where could the Vols exploit advantages?
The hosts and Farrar discuss using Tennessee's size and athleticism to exploit Miami University's perimeter shooting and to force opportunities inside, with Amari Evans and Nate Amight contributing in the frontcourt.
Josh & Swain - Hour 3 (3.19.26)
Q: What did Vince Farrar make of Nate Amant's return and the SEC tournament back-to-back games?
Farrar suggested it was a smart, calculated risk that could help Tennessee sharpen their timing for the NCAA tournament, provided Amant manages load and rest carefully.
Josh & Swain - Hour 2 (3.19.26)
Q: What matchup concerns do you have for Tennessee against their next opponent?
The main concerns are Tennessee's defensive pressure and rebounding edge, and the need to stay locked in to minimize second-chance opportunities for the opponent while continuing to execute on offense.
Josh and Swain - Hour 1 3.13.26
Q: The way we came out, played a little flat, what was probably the most surprising part of the first half for you watching Tennessee's performance in the first half?
The guests highlighted rebounding as a major issue, noting Auburn's aggression and Tennessee's struggles protecting the glass, which shifted in the second half as Tennessee adjusted and intensified their interior play.
Josh and Swain - Hour 1 3.12.26
Q: Is there anything that stands out about this matchup that Tennessee needs to do in this game to win that maybe they didn't have to do in the first game?
The key is to replicate Nate Ament's production from the first matchup, balance Amari Evans' health, and rely on other bench contributors to maintain scoring and rebounding pressure.
