Wichita State coaches and student-athletes are at home during the pandemic and working to stay healthy, stay on top of their academics and prepare for future competitions.

The Roundhouse podcast takes Shocker fans into their lives as they deal with this disruption.

In the most recent podcast softball coach Kristi Bredbenner talks about outfitting the addition to her family in Shocker colors, keeping the team connected through check-ins and regular questions. She has three talented seniors who will return next spring and she details what that means for her roster. Track and field's Steve Rainbolt misses the rhythm of accomplishment and team competition he usually experiences during the spring. He is a newcomer to Netflix and offers a few movie recommendations, led by "Bull Durham."
