Nothin’ But An App State Podcast is built for people who follow Mountaineers sports closely enough to care about the week between games. It is not only a scoreboard show. The episodes spend time on the weather in North Carolina, the timing of spring sports, postseason brackets, campus rhythms, and the small rituals that make App State coverage feel lived in. Brett Strelow and Adam Witten often open with relaxed back-and-forth before the main segment arrives. The detours matter. Hornets playoff memories, Tampa Bay Rays pain, Final Four stories, golf imagery, and an awkward fist-bump exchange all become part of the same room as baseball, football, basketball, wrestling, tennis, and softball. The show is especially comfortable with sports calendars that overlap. March Madness can sit beside wrestling, spring football, baseball crowds, softball series, and tennis recaps without the episode sounding scattered. It also has a practical streak. Black & Gold Rewind can slow down over a Texas State loss, a Sun Belt six-way tie, and the exact cost of landing a four-seed instead of slipping deeper into the bracket. Mountaineer Talk brings in the more official feel of a weekly coaches show, with Matt Present guiding segments from River Street Alehouse and moving through wrestling, men’s basketball, women’s basketball, assistant coaches, and sponsor resets. Interviews tend to be warm and developmental. Charlie Evans talks baseball memories and favorite Phillies. CJ Huntley reflects on family, work, teammates, Coach Kearns, and a senior season that stuck with the program. Trent Ramsey’s spring-football segment is framed through recovery and return after a tough injury. Kaleb Bowman’s story connects App State to professional baseball through Nashville Sounds and Milwaukee Brewers organization context. The show’s personality comes from that combination: official enough to carry highlights and coaches, loose enough to wander into local jokes, and specific enough to make tiebreakers, road matches, and doubles points feel like shared knowledge.
Made for: For App State fans who want more than final scores: basketball followers, football regulars, spring-sports diehards, alumni, and listeners who enjoy local context around college sports.
What sets it apart: It blends official App State network material with conversational, campus-close analysis. Few college-sports shows move so naturally from Sun Belt seeding math to player interviews, tennis recaps, sponsor handoffs, and Boone weather.
