Air Pressure: An Interview with Katie Olson
Episode 2
Wednesday, 15 October, 2025

Hey there Rise fans! I was really excited to record this episode as Katie was such a fantastic guest. In this episode we dive into Katie's journey from a standout volleyball player to a respected voice in sports broadcasting as color commentator for the Grand Rapids Rise. It was incredibly exciting to hear her thoughts on volleyball strategy, the MLV as a whole, the Rise team, and the vibrant volleyball culture in Grand Rapids. The number of variables in any given volleyball rally are astounding, not least of all air pressure!Get months FREE with Surfshark: https://surfshark.club/friend/fFP9U5ShSign up with Rakuten (it's always free) and get money off the things you were buying anyway: www.rakuten.com/r/EDWARD22078?eeid=28187Let me know what you think on Reddit, Instagram, Spotify, or by writing the show at embersnest@gmail.com.
