  • Exactly What American Volleyball Fans Need!

    I recently discovered this podcast and cannot get enough! I was familiar with Sarah’s playing career, but didn’t know much about her or Adam. The honestly of this show is so refreshing! While being respectful (they are Canadian) they give us their honest perspectives on players, coaches, and matches. They acknowledge when something might be a hot take and then speak their truth. I’m really enjoying listening to their commentary throughout VNL and can’t wait for their insights during NCAA season.... more

  • Disappointing Analysis

    The analysts kept discussing what the losing teams did wrong. It felt like the national champion Penn State was mentioned sporadically. I stopped listening half way in.
