Episode 316, Viral Volley Podcast: Megan Fitch, Texas A&M, 08-08-2026
In this Viral Volley Podcast/CVW crossover episode, Rob checks in with former Cornerstone Christian super star, Megan Fitch, who finished a remarkable first year at Texas A&M as a National Champion! From their meeting at the Durango Fall Classic in 2023 (Rob may have said 2024 in this episode) along with Aggie alumna and USA National Team Libero and Olympic Silver Medalist Stacy Sykora who were on the call at the event, it was apparent Head Coach Jamie Morrison had a talented athlete coming his way! Rob gave a shout out to one of Megan’s former Warrior teammate, Kaia Thiele of UNLV! We talk about Megan’s first season in training, media days, playing in front of massive crowds at national powerhouses and competition through the 2025 season. Naturally, we discuss her freshman experience going into her first NCAA Women’s Volleyball Tournament and how Head Coach Jamie Morrison dialed in the Aggies for their title run! With the 2026 season coming into view, Megan gives some thoughts as to what we can see competition wise for the Aggies and the gauntlet of a schedule Texas A&M will have to kick off the year!

Episode 315, Viral Volley: Names in the Game, Brooke Nuneviller, LOVB ATX, 07-18-2026
In this episode of the Viral Volley Podcast, the former PVF/MLV superstar and now LOVB Austin OH Brooke Nuneviller joins Rob on the “Names in the Game.” Brooke dropped a HUGE announcement back in May that she would NOT be returning to Omaha, but everyone knew something else was on the horizon for the Chandler, AZ native. Brooke reflects on her time in Omaha with her 2 Championships and Best Outside Hitter hardware in her time as a Supernova. She shares about some of her favorite (setter) teammates, favorite teams to compete against and other anecdotes in her time in Omaha. The conversation then moves towards what the future holds for the former Oregon Duck All-American in Austin, as she combines forces with a rock-solid LOVB roster. With Brooke, joining LOVB she’s one of the few “unicorns” in the American professional volleyball to play internationally (Turkiye), don the USA WNT uniform and in the 3 American women’s professional leagues of Athletes Unlimited, Pro Volleyball Federation/Major League Volleyball and now, LOVB. Without a doubt, Brooke has some great matches ahead of her, along with the support of Gorjana and Mizuno! As always, thanks for watching or listening!

Episode 314, Viral Volley Podcast, Names in the Game - Alaina Chacon, 6-5-26
In this Episode of the Viral Volley Podcast, ascending pro volleyball athlete Alaina Chacon jumps after she and partner Maddie Anderson go 2-0 at the opening weekend of the AVP League in Belmar, NJ. Before that weekend, Alaina has always been one of those "watchlist" athletes from her days in HS indoor, to Florida St., and now the Beach Pro Tour and the AVP. One of three tallented sisters, Alaina has been a switch-blocker on the beach but has also been a lightning quick defender with a full toolbox of attacks-- that include a very heavy hammer. This week she reflects on her volleyball beginnings, getting discovered by coaches Hector Gutierrez of TCU and Brooke Niles at Florida St. After finding success at the collegiate beach game she ventured into coaching and eventually her pro career where she has continued to find success at both the BPT and AVP! How she had to find a partner rather quickly at the start of the 2026 season being that sister, Morgan was carrying her first baby for Auntie Alaina! What did she do? Did she "...slip into Maddie's (Anderson) DMs?" Nope. She just texted her :). Listen in!
