In this episode of The Alpha Mic Podcast, we relive the chaos that was the 2025 Buckeye Blast at Cardinal Center — or as we’ve dubbed it, the Marengo Monsoon. From sideways rain and ankle-deep mud to flooded stages and gear failures, it was one of the wildest weather weekends we've ever shot through. We break down how the match held up, how shooters adapted, and how the staff and facility handled the deluge. Spoiler alert: it was wet, wild, and absolutely unforgettable.

We’re back with another banger of an episode, and this time we’re joined by none other than Max Leograndis! We break down the South Carolina Section Match, talk a little PCSL, sprinkle in some World Shoot chatter, and of course—plenty of that off-topic randomness you’ve come to know and love from us.

From match performance insights to travel stories and training thoughts, this one’s packed with personality, perspective, and plenty of laughs.
