  • Smart IU talk

    Love all the guests. Love the insights. Am a subscriber to ITH. I have a friendly suggestion about your interview style: Often you ask a simple question and then spend a minute explaining (and sometimes answering) it before you ask it again and finally let your guest answer. Just ask a question and then follow up with the nuance and caveats after your guest responds. Thanks!

  • Great IU hoops podcast

    As a lifelong Indiana fan, Podcast on the Brink, and Inside the Hall are my go tos for IU coverage. Alex does a terrific job on the podcast, has interesting guests and is fair and balanced. I particularly like the episodes with his Dad, Rick, who is a gold-standard hoops writer in Kentuckiana. Acorn didn’t fall far from the tree with Alex.
