“Working on this podcast has been an incredible experience. It’s given us the chance to amplify the voices of student-athletes who don’t always get the spotlight. Seeing how passionate these teams are and sharing their stories with the campus community has been so rewarding. It’s more than just covering sports - it’s about building a connection and showcasing the dedication behind club athletics,” said Small Ball show producer Jack Prigden

These podcast series represent a culmination of the students' semester-long efforts, from conceptualization and scripting to recording, editing, and sound design. Each series features 5-7 episodes. The class features the work of 15 students. Each series reflects the students' unique voices and perspectives, showcasing the breadth of talent within the Multimedia and Film Production Major.
