Hey guys, Jake Brent here with Cyclone Fanatic in the Northwest Bank Studios. If you missed it last week,

we had episode one of our Fanatic book podcast series. I sat down with the author, Chris Williams,

and the co-author, the Swiss Army Knife, the editor Rob Gray for Fanatic, stories from 20 years

within Iowa State Athletics. And we talked big picture, how the book came together, some of the struggles in writing the book.

I would highly recommend checking out that episode on the Cyclone Fanatic Podcast Network.

Today, we get into more of the in-depth stories.

We talk about my favorite chapter, the evolution of the 335 defense, Rob's favorite

chapter, Chris's favorite chapter. Again, it's stories that have never been told on paper,

and it's just a really good insight into how the book came about and the evolution of Iowa State

Athletics. Be sure to go to fanaticbook.com and get yourself a copy.

And don't just get yourself a copy. Get your friends, your loved ones, all of your relatives. Get them

fanatic for Christmas. It'll be a fantastic gift to find under the Christmas tree. If they have any

sort of love for Iowa State, again, check out this episode here with Chris

and Rob in the Northwest Bank Studios.

All right, welcome back to another episode of The Fanatic 20 years inside of Iowa State Stories.

It's our little podcast series where we're giving the listener just a little bit of insight

into how the book was made, where it originated.

And on today's edition of this little special podcast, we're going to talk some stories.

And when we talk about this this book this is not surface level

history this is uh iowa state started uh in this year and got all the way to this year it's the

stories that are in this book are more in-depth reporting than probably anything that exists

out there and that's i think what my favorite part of reading a few of these chapters so far is
