  • Such great guests and topics, such rough commentary

    I love that there is a podcast about Nebraska Volleyball but the mispronunciation of names, incorrect statistics, wrong dates, and overall sense that the hosts are guessing without looking information up make it a tough listen.

  • Must Listen to Each Week

    This podcast is very insightful, I look forward to their commentary which has educated and entertained me. Of course I love that it’s nebraska centric, but they sprinkle in national news, to give a complete picture. Great guests, very well prepared, and I look forward to this every week.
