We also take a look at the key NCAA matchups from last week, discuss the biggest surprises for the season so far, and Pavan's Percentages makes a long-awaited comeback!

In this episode of Volley Talk, we go over the absolutely incredible medal matches from the 2025 Women's World Championship. This was some of the best volleyball we have seen in a very long time, if not ever, on the women's side.

Italy extended their world-record winning streak to 36 matches en route to winning gold at Worlds, becoming the first team to hold the Olympic, VNL, and World Championship titles at the same time. They are the first team since Cuba in 2002 to hold the Olympic and World Championship titles simultaneously.

In this episode of Volley Talk, we discuss some big updates and roster changes coming out of LOVB and the PVF (yes, I'm still calling it the PVF for now) this week. We also try to tackle a question that we have been avoiding for quite some time... we were intimidated to take it on.

In this episode of Volley Talk, we go over the matches from the Men's VNL Final 8. Poland was absolutely dominant, winning all 3 matches 3-0 and relying on different players throughout the week. Brazil and France didn't look as sharp as was expected, and surprisingly, not one match went to 5 sets.

We have a lot of listener questions again this week, and this time they're (mostly) all about the men's game.

In this episode of Volley Talk, we discuss what went on during Week 3 of the Women's VNL competition. Italy finished the preliminary round with a perfect 12-0 record, followed closely by Brazil at 11-1. Serbia pulled themselves out of the relegation spot by winning 3 of 4 matches in Apeldoorn, but the battle for relegation lasted until the very end.

A couple teams really elevated their performance in Week 3, and others struggled to get anything going. We make some predictions for how the Final 8 will unfold, and of course, answer listener questions.
