BRIDGEPORT, Pa. — Six Collegiate Water Polo Association (CWPA) PoloCAST episodes will be released on a bi-weekly basis beginning Thursday, October 2.
The interviews were recorded in the era around the COVID-19 outbreak and were not compiled at the time. Fast forward several years, and the lost footage was produced and will be published for the water polo community.
The schedule of release is the following:
- Thursday, October 2 – Official Val Vasilchikov
- Thursday, October 16 – CWPA Hall of Fame inductee/Former University of Michigan athlete/Long Beach State University Women’s Water Polo Head Coach Shana Welch
- Thursday, October 30 – Retired official/CWPA Varsity Coordinator of Officials Michael Goldenberg

- Thursday, December 11 – CWPA Hall of Fame inductee/Former United States Naval Academy athlete/Former Princeton Men’s & Women’s Head Coach/U.S. Naval Academy Head Coach Luis Nicolao
PoloCast was a biweekly series during the 2020-22 seasons that highlighted some of water polo’s best minds and athletes over the past 50+ years in a longer format interview. The previous PoloCAST episodes are available on Apple Podcasts, Breaker, Google Podcasts, Pocket Casts, RadioPublic, Anchor and Spotify.
Hosted by CWPA Hall of Fame inductee and former Team Canada Olympian George Gross, Jr., the podcast provided listeners with more than just an X’s and O’s conversation about water polo – but a dialogue about what helped good players, coaches and administrators reach the top of the game.
