    Ivy Insights

    The Nebraska Athletics Podcast is, without a doubt, my favorite podcast of all time. As a 64-year-old man who isn't even an avid listener of Pandora or other streaming platforms, this podcast has truly captured my attention and kept me coming back for more. What sets this podcast apart, in my opinion, is the incredible host, Coach Cook. His sense of humor and passion for the sport shine through in every episode, making them entertaining and engaging from start to finish. I can't help but be a huge fan of his and appreciate the insightful conversations he has with his guests.

    One of the best aspects of The Nebraska Athletics Podcast is its focus on Husker volleyball. As a lifelong Husker living in New Jersey now, I've made it my mission to spread the phenomenon of Husker VB wherever I go. This podcast serves as a fantastic source of information and updates about Nebraska volleyball that I can't get enough of. Whether it's JB's coverage of each match or discussions with players and coaches, this podcast keeps me well-informed and up-to-date on everything related to Nebraska volleyball.

    While there are many positives to this podcast, I have to admit that "Confession and Lesson" segments are not always the highlight for me personally. While they may be enjoyable for some listeners, I find myself more interested in the interviews and discussions about sports rather than personal anecdotes or life lessons. However, this is just a minor critique in an otherwise outstanding podcast.

    In conclusion, The Nebraska Athletics Podcast is a must-listen for any fan of Nebraska athletics or Husker volleyball specifically. From Coach Cook's entertaining personality to the comprehensive coverage provided by JB and the team, this podcast delivers on all fronts. Even as someone who has been transplanted to the Seattle area from Nebraska, my love for Husker VB remains unwavering thanks to podcasts like these. Go Big Red!
