Light The I Episode 4 - Coach Bielema

As I said on the first episode, Scott and I looked at the first week as our "soft opening." There are always going to be a lot of bugs to work out. Our producers are still learning how to run the board. We're still learning how to pace everything (that will take at least a month). So for the first three episodes, we wanted to work through all of that.

And then for the fourth episode, we wanted to bring in our first guest. Why not bring in... the head coach of the football team? I said it to him in person and I'll say it again here: a massive THANK YOU to Coach B for doing this. As he describes in the interview, he's quite busy right now, so for him to take time to not only join us but to join us in the studio... I can't thank him enough.

One quick pitch and then I'll get to the episode. This is a podcast with sponsors and so this is the first time in my career that clicks will matter. Subscriptions to podcast feeds matter. Subscriptions to YouTube channels matter. If you'd be so kind as to click on one of those "subscribe to this podcast" buttons, we'd certainly appreciate it.

Thanks again to U of I Community Credit Union for being our presenting sponsor. And thanks to our producers, Mazie Gierat and Ella Peterson (Ella produced this episode). And thanks to football SID Brett Moore for helping set this up.

Look at me. I'm a shadow of my former self. "Click here! Subscribe! You're not going to believe the part where Coach Bielema talks about the NIL money his players are making!" (He really does that in this ep.)
