  • The Divination of Instagram + Crazy Free Agency
    Aug 3 2024
    Hello Grand Rapids Rise fans! The dust has settled on the free agency period for now and I’m excited to start thinking volleyball again. This episode dives into the Grand Rapids Rise newest (and oldest!) members alongside my enthusiasm and questions for this upcoming season. More to come on PVF vs LOVB, but for now it’s all Grand Rapids Rise! Let me know what you think by writing embersnest@gmail.com, as well as commenting on Spotify and Reddit!

  • The Agony of Defeat
    May 18 2024
    Live from Omaha, I discuss my impressions of Omaha the town, discuss how well they pulled this event off (even if there are areas of improvement) and of course talk about the Grand Rapids Rise falling 3-0 to the Omaha Supernovas in the PVF Championship. Ultimately, the ability to be here was a privilege, but carrying the torch of fandom is also a privilege as well as a curse of its own. The fact that the PVF as a whole and the Rise have been able to get fans to care so much and put so much emotional equity into it is the biggest victory of this whole ordeal and is a positive indicator for the future. What are your final thoughts on the first season of the PVF? I want to hear from you: write the show, comment on instagram (embersnestpod) or Reddit, or send in a voice message! I want to know what this first season of the PVF meant to you! Ember's Nest is available on Spotify, Apple Podcasts, iHeartRadio, Amazon Music, and Audible.

  • The Rise are Championship Bound and So Am I!
    May 16 2024

    Grand Rapids comes away with the upset victory behind fantastic defense and key contributions from Marin Grote, Kayla Caffey, and Ashley Evans alongside the usual stalwarts of Dimitrova and Chaussee! This rollercoaster of a match was back and forth, but in the words of Ashley Evans, the pressure was on Atlanta and Grand Rapids just made their adjustments to win the game. The Bolt6 challenge system was also expertly utilized by Grand Rapids to help swing this one to them.

    Will you be in Omaha? Are you having a big watch party at home? Sound off on Reddit, Spotify, or now Instagram @embersnestpod! What did you think of the first of two 5 set semifinal matches?
