Monday Oct 23, 2023
And, we’re back! It’s been 100 episodes since the first the Griz Fan Podcast on April 25th in 2018. And, we’re back! For this week we reflect on the 100 episodes since the first the Griz Fan Podcast on April 25th in 2018. Episodes used to be under an hour long, opened with a bluegrass song, and were recorded on an ipad. Now, pods surpass 2 hours, open with updates from James, and are recorded on a sound board. As we look back, the GFP maybe had a few hundred listens each week, now it’s in the tens of thousands. On this week’s pod, without a game to recap, we do a little bit of talk around the conference. We take some time to chat quickly on the upcoming Northern Colorado game. From there, we have a lot of fan comments and questions reminiscing on pod moments. To all who keep tuning in to have a chat about Grizzly sports and have a few beers with us, we appreciate you, go Griz!
