The Cyclone Fanatic podcast is a must-listen for any Iowa State fan. As a loyal listener for years, I can confidently say that this podcast is my go-to source for all things Iowa State. It provides comprehensive coverage, fascinating history, and insightful analysis of the culture surrounding Iowa State football. Whether it's the pre and post-game discussions with Williams and Blum or John Walters' commentary during the game, this podcast truly completes my gameday experience.
One of the best aspects of The Cyclone Fanatic podcast is the variety it offers to fans. With multiple hosts and shows, there's something for everyone. Each host brings their own unique personality to the table, making for an entertaining and engaging listening experience. The recent addition of podcasts like "The Meyer and Blythe" and "Transfer U" have only added to the already impressive lineup of content. Additionally, the recent interview with McCarney stands out as a highlight, providing both laughter and tears.
While overall a fantastic podcast, one possible drawback is that it mainly focuses on football and men's basketball. While they do touch on other sports occasionally, it would be great to see more coverage across all Iowa State sports. However, considering the breadth and depth of their coverage within football and men's basketball alone, this is a minor issue.
In conclusion, The Cyclone Fanatic podcast is an essential listen for any Iowa State fan. The passion that Williams and Blum bring to their coverage is palpable, making me feel like I'm right at home even though I've moved away from my home state. The engaging hosts, great content variety, and consistent delivery make this podcast a standout in its field.
