“A really really great show that I once in a while check hopelessly & realize that there will never be new episodes. This is evergreen content though, give it a listen.”

“I really enjoyed all of the 8 episodes, especially as many of them covered topics that were not likely big enough to get their own 30 for 30!
There is so much material and potential of new episodes out there. Please make more episodes Ivan!!

“Maisel proves himself to be a master story teller. Yes, it’s about CFB, but still so much more. It’s about life, death, racial tensions, controversy, heroes, villains, rising and falling. It’s stories about life, interconnected by that great sport we all love. May we have some more, please?!?”

“What an informative podcast! I’m not an uber football fan - I love my team and am interested in the history and dynamics, but stats fly out of my head and I find it difficult keeping track of players and the chaos of a whole conference sometimes. I was intimidated at first listening to this, but...”Read full review »

“If you’re a fan of college football or history this is the best podcast I’ve heard. Only down side is that there’s only 8 episodes so far, hopefully there are plenty more to come.”

“Fascinating looks at different stories from CFB’s rich and stories history. The only criticism of the series is that there aren’t enough off them. Hopefully they’ll make further episodes.”

“I love the stories this podcast tells, but I am disappointed that there aren’t more episodes. There are countless crazy stories throughout 150 years of college football so there shouldn’t be a problem coming up with new episodes.”

“There are only going to be eight episodes to cover 150 years of college football? These eight episodes only scratched the surface of all the history of college football. With only eight episodes, it feels like a few random college football stories, not a podcast covering 150 years of the sport....”Read full review »

“Ivan has always been great on podcasts. This is by far perfect for his story telling ability and knowledge of the game. This needs to continue until he can’t find any more stories to tell. Don’t stop based on a limit set beforehand.”

“Ivan has an unparalleled knowledge of the history of the game. The stories are great, production is high quality, and no hot takes are included. The perfect way to celebrate 150 years of college football. The only thing missing is Beano.”

“It’s really too bad that campus conversation wasn’t continued. Loved the format of that podcast. This will definitely help fill that void, Ivan is probably the smartest mind there is discussing college football so if you’re a fan this is a podcast you really need to subscribe to.”

“I’m a huge cfb fan but I am not that aware of a lot of the history of the sport (especially outside of the b1g region). I wish this would be an ongoing podcast and not just for this season. Ivan is great at telling stories and is incredibly knowledgeable. Keep up the great work.”

“There is no better storyteller about College Football history then Ivan. He is also unrivaled with putting what’s going on in the game today in proper perspective. Campus Conversation was an outstanding podcast that I already miss but this is a step in filling that void.”
