Season 5, Episode 24: A conversation with "Track Guy Movie" director Andrew Snyder
Monday, 24 November, 2025

Lance starts the show by putting the finishing touches on the college cross country season. He mentions three Iowa colleges who picked up team trophies during NCAA and NAIA championships over the weekend. He then gives his viewpoint on the controversy surrounding BYU coach Ed Eyestone's criticism of college cross country programs that rely on international runners to fuel their success. Two of the top men's teams, Oklahoma State and Iowa State, have defended the practice of using recruiting services in the new age of NIL. The show finishes with Andrew Snyder, director of "Track Guy Movie" that focuses on announcing legend Mike Jay, talking about his top highlights from the documentary that debuted in September. Andrew, a native Iowan, tells the work that went into making his first full-length film and what he hopes to accomplish next in his career.
