Running Poles Podcast

Addie Lange of the Mizzou Tigers softball team sat down with Maren at the Mary Nutter tournament in Palm Springs. She tells an incredible story of battling adversity and Hemiplegic Migraines, which present themselves as a stroke.

We are joined by phenom Danielle O'Toole aka Tooly. She played at Arizona with T and has gone on to play professionally, at the Olympics, and being in the movie Jackass Forever. Come join us for this weird ride.  

We have special guest Chad Withrow from Outkick 360 joining us on the show. We go into the changes in the Big 12, local tv, and the shenanigans of how he and Maren met.

Maren and T talk to Alison Gorrell, Mental Performance Coach and professional basketball player. This episode is about mental health and suicide related themes.

Maren and T get together with a childhood friend who just happened to play at Indiana and Texas Tech. She's got a world of varying experiences that not every athlete gets *like playing for 5 head coaches*. They talk about the transfer portal and problems that teams can have across the board. 

We are joined by Nate Rohr, Nebraska sportscaster extraordinaire to talk about the revival of Husker Softball and how they have grown over the past few years. 

This week, we talk to Luke Olson former coach of Oklahoma pitcher Jordy Bahl. She's making a lot of noise and is certainly a contender for Freshman of the Year. He gives us info on what makes the difference between a good player and a great one. 

Running Poles crew is back with Mike Schaffer CEO of ad agency Echo Factory. We talk about everyone's favorite part of the Super Bowl... the commercials and all the ins and outs of that. Let's just say people spend the big $$$$.  

While Maren is moving, T takes over an interview with Chelsea Suitos, who is one of the Co-Founders of the Players Collxctive (the x is silent and symbolic) and an all around bad ass.

Chelsea goes into how the NLI (name, image, and likeness) atmosphere has changed with the NCAA. She gives some awesome tips that can help newly freed college athletes navigate the bumpy waters of NLI. 

I know that we are like two weeks after the WCWS, and we recorded this before the tournament was even over. However, here is our reactions to the Casey Stangel interview plus whatever else was going on at the WCWS at the time.
