    Ivy Insights

    The Boiler Up, with Rapheal Davis podcast is an absolutely fantastic listen for any Purdue basketball fan. Hosted by Ray-D, the podcast offers incredible insights into the Purdue program, with a focus on past players and their experiences. The preparation, tone, and questions asked by Ray are exceptional and make for a truly enjoyable listening experience. With each new guest that comes on the show, I find myself eagerly looking forward to hearing their perspective.

    One of the best aspects of this podcast is the wealth of knowledge and stories shared by past players. Hearing about their thoughts on the current team, the future potential of Purdue basketball, what it's like playing in the B1G conference, and what it's like playing for Coach Matt Painter provides fans with a truly unique and personal look into the program. These behind-the-scenes accounts and backstories add depth and richness to the podcast that sets it apart from other sports podcasts.

    Another great aspect of The Boiler Up podcast is Ray-D's improvement as an interviewer and podcaster. It's clear that he takes his role seriously and has worked hard to refine his skills. His growth can be seen in each episode as he asks thought-provoking questions and guides conversations in a natural and engaging manner. This evolution adds to the overall quality of the podcast and makes it even more enjoyable to listen to.

    While it's difficult to find any negatives about this podcast, one aspect that could be improved upon is its frequency. As a loyal listener, I eagerly anticipate each new episode, but there are sometimes long gaps between releases. It would be fantastic if there were more regular episodes or updates from Ray-D to keep fans engaged consistently throughout the season.

    In conclusion, The Boiler Up, with Rapheal Davis podcast is a must-listen for any Purdue basketball fan. With insightful interviews from past players and Ray-D's excellent hosting abilities, this podcast offers a unique glimpse into the program that is sure to leave fans wanting more. While there could be improvements in terms of frequency, the overall quality and content make this podcast a standout choice for Purdue basketball enthusiasts. Boiler Up!

    We at the Field of 68 media network are thrilled to announce the launch of a new series called 68 Shining Moments. We’ve spent the last four months amassing interviews with the people that lived the greatest, the most memorable moments in the history of the NCAA tournament. We went straight to the horse’s mouth to find out when T.J. Sorrentine realized that he had hit that shot from the parking lot, and if Ali Farohkmanesh was really serious with that shot. We talked to Kyle Guy and Ty Jerome from Virginia. We sat with Danny Manning, and Kris Jenkins, and Ryan Arcidiacono, and Keith Smart, and Dunk City. If there was a memorable moment in the NCAA tournament, chances are, we talked to them.
