SANDCAST: Beach Volleyball with Tri Bourne and Travis Mewhirter
Sports:Volleyball
Last week marked FIVE STRAIGHT YEARS OF SANDCAST! In five years, somehow, Tri Bourne and Travis Mewhirter haven't missed a single episode. So much has happened:
- Travis made his first AVP main draw (then a bunch of international medals)
- Tri battled an autoimmune disease...then became an Olympian...then a two-time Manhattan Beach Open champion
- Tri had a kid, Naia Bourne, who makes many appearances on this episode
- Travis got married to Delaney Knudsen, who has since won a bunch of big time matches and tournaments, including the USA Volleyball Queen of the Beach
- Gabby Bourne produced her own movie, and is soon appearing in one with Ben Affleck and Matt Damon (!!!)
- Our numbers have exploded, growing, on average, 30 percent per year
- The NVL came and went
- p1440 came and went
- Volleyball World became a thing
- The AVP was bought by Bally's
- And a whole, whole lot more.
We just got the full family together on this one and reflected on five years of podcasting, and the wild and surreal life changes that have come with it. Thank you all SO MUCH for being part of this wonderful journey. Cheers to five years, and cheers to five more
SHOOTS!
