Hey guys, it's Jake Brent here with Cyclone Fanatic in the Northwest Bank Studios.

In case you somehow missed it, Chris Williams wrote a book, Fanatic, stories from 20 years inside Iowa State.

The book is amazing. So many uncovered stories that really nobody knows about other than Chris.

Until he put the pen to the paper and is putting it out for the public,

I hope you enjoy my sit down with Chris and Rob.
