  • GoBigRedIA
    Pathetic…just like the football programs history.
    Nebraska fan here, had the misfortune of stumbling across this podcast. Just two idiots circle jerking over one of the most pathetic programs in the entire history of the sport. No boys, it’s not a good day to be a Cyclone. It should be a shameful and embarrassing one.
  • Feesh1
    Women’s BB post game shows
    It’s awesome to hear shows focused on the women’s game. I enjoy hearing discussions of their games which sometimes gets a bit of a short shrift on the main pods.
  • Alex's Lobos

    How can I get some Ames lager to Texas so we can support the collective with cold ones?
  • cystate1
    Amazing work!
    Love the insight, especially the wrestling pod! Can’t get enough.

  • BLaFratte
    Thank You!
    Chris and his team do an awesome job of covering Iowa State Athletics!
  • waukeecy
    Mostly good
    Probably unpopular opinion. I know first pod after a bye week. But I thought the Sunday night pod was pretty hard to listen to. Been following from the beginning and appreciate most of what is published as well as Iowa everywhere. Lately I’ve found it very ironic CW calls hassle an elitist… also, please stop talking about anything AG related like you know what you’re talking about. You sound real stupid. Just promote your sponsors and be done.
  • Brent ISU
    Love the coverage
    Great coverage of ISU sports - Football, Men’s and Women’s Basketball, and Wrestling. Love the content, especially the podcasts
  • CyPower34
    Phenomenal podcast!

    Can’t wait for Sunday evening

  • cyclone.analyst
    Love it
    Love the Cyclone Fanatic podcasts! Especially love Corner 3 and Football & random things!
  • CycloneBomb
    Great Podcast Network…But…
    The Landlocks podcast with Flint and Vos is a complete waste of time.
  • Jonah Vicker
    Narco FTW
    Really glad CF contributed to Narco being played at Jack Trice Stadium, especially as an avid listener (and ISU student) to the program. A note was left in the PA box stating that CW and Blum specifically requested this song post-Cyclone TD. Great W, gentlemen!

    Best Information and Analysis of ISU sports
    Best podcasts I’ve ever listened to.
  • Huntoonjmsc
    Best Cyclone Coverage 💯
    Podcasts have always been good, they always get better too.
  • Jeff Lancioni
    Every Pod is a can’t miss!
    If you are a Cyclone fan, no one covers the team better with high quality podcasts. Chris and Brent, Jeff and Jarred, Steph and Alisa; all great listens. The first podcasts I listen to in my library every time.
  • mustangcy
    CW and Blum Pod
    CW and Blum pod is my only can’t miss pod. I actually look forward to my Monday drive now!
  • embrassthesuck
    National Champion
    Iowa State had a national champion this past weekend and you couldn’t even give him a shout out. Well, this me canceling you.
  • Brobinson767
    Inconsistent
    CW said he will always do a reaction podcast where he provides a raw emotion of what happened. Well unless it’s his friend Steve Prohm. Then he waits 1-2 days after that loss to give a tone down reaction. Perhaps Jared should take these over if you cannot be consistent with reaction podcast and when they will be recorded.

    Gameday Family Tradition
    Without Williams and Blum before and after the game (and John Walters during), it feels like something is missing on gameday. Great coverage, fascinating history, and exciting insight into the culture of Iowa State football.
  • ahsjajjandnrbbshaja
    Gets the job done
    My favorite podcast for Iowa State sports! You guys do a great job giving the fans variety and all the characters in the podcast lineup bring good personalities to the table.
  • JakeBook1990
    My Favorite Source for the Cyclones
    I became and Iowa State fan as an 11 year old boy during the 2002 season. I vividly remember watching the Nebraska game with my grandma and instantly fell in love with Seneca Wallace and the Cyclones. Over the next nearly 20 years I’ve enjoyed the highs and the lows of Cyclone Football. I moved away from my home state in 2012. Cyclone Fanatic makes me feel like I’m home. I love Williams and Blum and their passion for this team, the Meyer and Blythe podcast is awesome, two of my all favorite Cyclones. The recent podcast with McCarney has probably been the greatest highlight of listening. I laughed and I cried. He is one of my greatest hero’s. Can’t give this podcast enough stars. Thanks guys!
  • JoshtheRoo
    Variety, fun, and everything you love about ISU!
    Love the shows and all the hosts. I’ve been listening since 2018 and the coverage has only gotten better and better and made me even more of a Cyclone fan. Interacting with everyone on Twitter makes the everything really pop too. It also really works cause you can tell everyone on mic really likes each other. At the end of each episode I feel like I just got done sitting in with good friends more than I’ve been broadcasted to. Love from a recent alum in Nebraska!
  • NancyLBB
    Variety of shows
    Love the addition of the Title IX pod!

    Top Source for Cyclone News
    As a recent cyclone alum who lives out of state, I utilize cyclone fanatic for nearly all of my Iowa State news and updates. They deliver week after week with new, intriguing content even when it’s out of football/basketball season or during a lockdown with no sports. This made it an easy decision to become a patreon supporter. The only thing I’d like to see is an option for a subscription based model with zero advertisements. Thanks for all you to Cyclone Fanatic!
  • pwraney
    Great chemistry
    Look forward to hearing these guys banter each week. Great pod to add to the line-up.
  • Hawkeyes7799
    Blum
    It’s pure comedy how rattled he gets by the Hawkeyes. Lol.
  • Terbslohcinnekue
    Great information
    Love the Williams and Blum pod and FART podcasts to keep us updated on all things Cyclones!
  • Iwj9py2*
    Go Cyclones!
    Great podcasts! Keeps me on top of all things ISU sports.
  • Lifetime WSJ Subscriber
    Slow pace
    Chris Williams can get stuck on a topic for too long. Maybe it’s though to find content during Covid to give the show a faster pace
  • CycloneKev06
    Excellent Podcast!
    Definitely the go-to podcast for Cyclone fans! Chris Williams and company do an amazing job of covering Cyclone athletics! Take a listen...you won’t regret it!
  • isulaura
    Title IX
    Fantastic pod

    Best Iowa State Cyclones coverage anywhere
    Great podcasts. Fun hosts. Could not be a bigger fan.
  • MedicineMan69
    Degrades Iowa State
    Sad to think this podcast represents Iowa State in some way. Any affiliation with Cyclone Fanatic is bad for business
  • CarolineNH
    Great podcast
    Lots of fun, informative content. Excellent variety of pods and talent. Great listen after a big win or disappointing loss.
  • elreh955
    Getting bored
    Been an ISU fan since, well, about 1970. Past graduate and most of my family has attended (12 or so degrees). Love the Cyclones. And have loved CycloneFanatic for quite a while but recently it has gotten boring. Even during the peak of football season it seemed that the "news" part of CF was really missing. Many podcasts deal with personal life stuff, or with non-athletic topics, or with issues related to how fans complain on Twitter, or with issues about the media, or, worst of all, issues related to the speaker's perspective on ISU as a national champion. I really don't care for this "stuff". I care about the Cyclones, what are they doing, what's the news, who just committed, what are they like, etc. Tired of 1 hour podcasts with content that should only take 10 minutes. Please....more relevant content, less BS gabbing.
  • Simmo158
    The Best
    The best just got better adding Ames legend Niang regularly. Title 9 is awesome for everyone not just the ladies. The hard work comes through the speakers.
