The Around the Nation podcast is back for a second season and this year, with Keith McMillan and I on opposite ends of the Division III landscape, it’s presented us some new challenges. Before, Keith and I always recorded together, in the same place, but now he’s in Washington, D.C., and I’m in Minneapolis.

So it takes some technological stitching together and timing and such we haven’t completely gotten down yet. But we’ll work on that more next week.

Hopefully the analysis of Week 1 is the important thing, since that’s what we do with our weekly podcast discussion on Monday morning. Such as, what do you do if you’re a good team and you lost to a better team this week? Or lost to a bad team? Where does a team go from here after its first game?

What did we learn about St. John Fisher? What can we expect from UW-Whitewater? What’s it like getting a long losing streak off your back? All that and more in this week’s Around the Nation podcast.
