Iowa Hype Podcast

By Jason Mason

Welcome to the Iowa Hype Podcast. My son and I are avid Hawkeye fans and enjoy spending time together talking about the team, and life in general. My goal with this podcast is to spend some time with my son and be able to enjoy these episodes in 20 years.
Right now this is just a fun thing we did together, but hopefully, it turns into something we can do together every couple of weeks!

Episode 33...Diante Vines.

Diante is one the the receivers we are looking forward to this upcoming season. Diante showed some flashes of brilliance this past season in an extremely anemic offense. This season Diante is poised to have a bigger role with a new QB and some changes within the offense. Matthew and I really enjoyed chatting with Diante and Matthew might have a new frontrunner for which jersey he wants this upcoming season.

Episode 29 | Tom Kakert

Episode 29 | Tom Kakert

Episode 29, we sit down with our third-ever guest that was not a player, but instead a reporter for the Iowa Hawkeyes. Tom has been around the Iowa program for a very long time and has been a part of some historic games and seasons, watching and reporting from the sidelines. A dream job for many, Tom is incredibly humble and fun to chat with. I could have chatted with Tom for another couple of hours on all things Iowa, the MLB, and the greatest band of all time: Pearl Jam. 

Tom is on with On3 Sports as a writer, make sure to check him out HERE

Episode 28 | Yahya Black

Episode 28 | Yahya Black

Episode 28, someone that was a big factor in plugging up holes on the defensive line last season, and is poised to be a huge impact player this season with the departure of VanNess on the line. We were really excited to chat with Mr. Black. Yahya is a massive human being and one of the kindest interviews we've conducted yet. A native Minnesotan, he chatted with us while on Christmas break at home and we even had a chance to chat with his dad for a second. 

Yahya was a great sport answering all of our questions and we truly appreciated him coming on our show.

Episode 27 | Quinn Schulte

Episode 27 | Quinn Schulte

Episode 27, a massively underrated player in Iowa's secondary that had a huge impact this past season... Quinn Schulte. We had a great time chatting with Quinn and he was incredibly accommodating in allowing us to interview him. Quinn has been with the Hawkeyes since he joined as a preferred walk-on in 2019. However, Quinn is no stranger to the Hawkeye program, as he grew up close by in Cedar Rapids and played for his father at Cedar Rapids Xavier High School, having a partial stake in leading his high school team to a state championship.

Quinn was a great sport answering all of our questions and we truly appreciated him coming on our show.

Episode 26 | Nico Ragaini

Episode 26 | Nico Ragaini

Episode 26, this man needs no introduction. Matthew had the time of his life chatting with Nico, and we learned a lot about him from an off the field perspective. Nico has been with the Hawkeye football program for a number of years now, and is set to return for one final season in 2023, hoping to surpass some receiving records in the process.  We both had a blast chatting with Nico and are excited to see what he can do this coming season. Matthew even gets clarification on his last name pronunciation, and we relive the Iowa - Penn State game from 2 years ago.

Nico was a great sport answering all of our questions and we truly appreciated him coming on our show.

Episode 25 | Drew Stevens

Episode 25 | Drew Stevens

Episode 25, one of the newest members of the IA Hawkeyes roster this past season, Freshman phenom kicker, Drew Stevens. Drew burst onto the scene and set some records for freshman kickers at Iowa, en route to becoming an All-Big-Ten honoree. Drew was a great guest and offered some insight as to how he focuses and his mentality for kicking and social media.  Drew explained how he made it to IA City from South Carolina, and what he is looking forward to moving forward as his career wearing the Black and Gold.

Drew was a great sport answering all of our questions and we truly appreciated him coming on our show.

Episode 24 | Logan Jones

Episode 24 | Logan Jones

Episode 24, the glue of the offensive line and someone that stepped into some very large shoes, Logan Jones. As a sophomore, Logan was thrown into a line that overcame some struggles this past year and was a part of a team with a beautiful story arc. He's making a name for himself in the weight room and the sky is the limit on the field at Center. As a native of Council Bluffs, Logan chats with us about Max Duggan, his favorite gameday traditions, and spends some time with Matthew on the "Hot Seat." 

Logan was a great sport answering all of our questions and we truly appreciated him coming on our show.

Episode 22 | Corn Strippers

Vacation episode, but at least we did one. We are enjoying chatting IA football from our Air BNB and like every episode, we get WAY off the rails at every turn. We are literally one win away from back to back Western division Big Ten Champions. Not a lot of quality content here, but so is a vacation episode.

Episode 21 | Purdon't

Episode 21 | Purdon't

We are consistent again! But we're back, and we're actually talking IA football this week, well, sort of. Matthew had a sick day and we tried to make the most of it by chatting IA football, but we got WAY off the rails at points and tried to real it in. We came out with a W this past Saturday and are excited to go into the final stretch of winnable games both on the road and at home in Kinnick. This episode we chat about Purdue statistics, or lack of, IA's 2017 game against OH St, and Matthew's new "Hype Video."

Episode 20 | We still have a podcast?!?

Wow, we suck at consistently producing content. But we're back, and we're actually talking IA football this week. We had the mid-season blues the past couple of weeks, but we came out with a W this past Saturday and are excited to go into the final stretch of winnable games both on the road and at home in Kinnick. This episode we chat about Matthew's interviews with the Swarm Collective, what it was like to travel to Champaign, and what the heck is a Boilermaker???

Episode 19 | Iowa vs Rutgers

Episode 19 | Iowa vs Rutgers

This week's episode is VERY short on content, and heavy on hypotheticals. Experienced a much better week this past Saturday, and look forward to the possibility of 2 wins in a row!n This episode we chat about Matthew's interviews with the Swarm Collective, what it was like to sit through a lightning delay, and what would happen if an actual Hawk faced an actual Knight in a game of football.

Episode 18 | Cy-Hawk Game Week

This week's episode is pretty short on content, and heavy on hypotheticals. During the season Matthew and I hope to chat briefly about the previous game, and preview the upcoming game. We are not analysts and quite frankly won't give you a detailed breakdown of the game. But we can entertain you for half an hour, and when the season is over we will resume our player interviews. Thanks for listening!

Episode 17 | Tyler Kluver

Episode 17 | Tyler Kluver

Episode 17, we sit down with former long-snapper and current podcast host Tyler Kluver. As a walk-on for the University of Iowa, Tyler played through multiple successful seasons at Iowa, including a historic Rose Bowl season in 2015. After graduation, Kluver started the Washed up Walk-ons Podcast alongside 2 of his former teammates at Iowa. Now with well over 300 episodes under their belts, the Washed up Walk-ons have built quite the following, and continue to give back large amounts to the children's hospital from much of their earnings. Our podcast is the family-friendly alternative to the WuW podcast built for kids, and we discuss how the 2 are definitely not in competition, but a companion piece for the kids of the Walk-on listeners. This is by far the longest episode we've ever had, and we probably could have kept going for easily another hour. Tyler is full of great answers, and seemed to enjoy being on the hot seat at the end of the episode.
Make sure to check out their podcast HERE.
And follow them here on Instagram, Twitter, and Facebook.
Make sure you let Tyler know what you thought of the episode and drop us some feedback.

Episode 15 | Brody Brecht

Episode 15, a real modern-day Deion Sanders, Brody Brecht. Brody is currently playing both baseball and football for the Iowa Hawkeyes. Brody is excelling at both while balancing 2 sports and school work, being the 1st athlete in nearly 30 years at the U of I to participate in both baseball and football. We enjoyed our conversation with Brody, and Matthew pretty much thinks he is going to be the next Brody in a few years. Tune in as we ask the real hard hitting journalistic questions, and find out answers to the tough questions such as, if he likes tacos or pizza better.

Episode 14 | Jay Higgins

Episode 14, the incomparable Jay Higgins, Hawk, Hawk, Hawk! Jay has been an integral part of the killer Hawkeye Defense the past couple of years and has even spent some quality time on special teams. Jay has grown tremendously as a player and is poised to grab even more playing time this year behind an extremely deep LB core. Next year will be Jay's year and we are super excited to follow him the next 2 years. Jay set aside his valuable time to chat with us and we were extremely grateful to have the chance to get to know this great young man. Jay was awesome and a great guest to chat with.

Episode 13 | Eric Epenesa

Episode 13 | Eric Epenesa

Episode 13, quite possibly one of the most generationally recognized names in hawkeye football's recent history. With a father that played at Iowa in the late 90's, a brother that played defensive end recently, and another brother that has an offer to play at Iowa. Eric is the 3rd Epenesa  in a family full of very talented athletes. He's a young underclassman on the team, but poised to make a true impact in the coming years, both on and off the football field. A well-spoken, courteous young man, we enjoyed chatting with Eric and think you'll enjoy the conversation as well.

Episode 12 | Tory Taylor

Episode 12 | Tory Taylor

Episode 12, the international guest edition. Matthew started out worried that he wouldn't be able to understand or comprehend what Tory was saying, and ended up having a blast. A native of Australia, Tory attended a punting academy and made the seamless transition to American college football with high praise from those closest to the program. Tory has won the hearts of fans with his charming looks, witty press conferences, and pinpoint punt placements. Tory Taylor will be a Junior Punter for the Iowa Hawkeyes this coming season. Normally punting is an afterthought of the fans, or an opportunity to get up and use the restroom during the punts, but Tory is captivating to watch. His control of the ball and placement make it such an exciting opportunity to see where our defense will be able to start. Matthew loved this one and it really was a lot of fun. Tory is a great guest and we think you'll love listening.

Follow him on Instagram and Twitter. And make sure you check out the awesome work he's doing with "Count the Kicks," at countthekicks.org.

Episode 11 | Parker Dilley

Episode 11 | Parker Dilley

Episode 11, we have our 1st ever guest that's not a student athlete. Parker Dilley is one of the creative team that produces the videos you see on social media for the Iowa Hawkeye Football Team. He's been working with the Hawkeyes since he was a student there in college, aside from the short stint when he was a Maryland Terrapin for less than a year. Parker makes an incredible product week after week with both hype videos, and hit films that cover each game. If you saw Matthew's first ever Hype video we made, we straight up ripped it off of Parker and his creative team. He was ever so gracious and was complimentary in our efforts to duplicate his masterpiece. They do say imitation is the purest form of flattery. Parker works 7 days a week during the season and is extremely fun to chat with. This is our longest podcast ever, and I feel like I could have chatted with him easily for another hour. 

His Vimeo channel is absolutely INCREDIBLE! Check it out HERE.

Make sure you check out his awesome Instagram and follow him on Twitter.

Episode 10 | Kaevon Merriweather

Episode 10 | Kaevon Merriweather

Episode 10, our 5th ever guest, and this one really comes through. Kaevon Merriweather is a Senior from the state of Michigan, competing as a Defensive Back for the Iowa Hawkeyes. He is a very well spoken, smart, thoughtful athlete, as evidenced by not his social media, but the University of Iowa's Social Media feed. He is spotted giving back time and time again to the youth. Our first upperclassman and what might be our most fun interview yet. Kaevon is an absolute beautiful soul, as well as an incredible athlete, and the conversation ranged from his memories at Iowa, experiences, his acting debut, and even got into some African-American history and how we can all do better.  Honestly, we didn't get in everything I wanted to talk to him about, but I know we will have him back on again one day to finish our conversation. He's just a player that is really "Bigger Than the Game!"

Episode 9 | Lukas Van Ness

Episode 9, a force to be reckoned with this coming season on the D-Line...Lukas Van Ness! We had our 4rd ever guest, and Matthew thinks it might be his new front runner for favorite player of the year. Lukas did an incredible job of answering all of our questions and gave some really great answers to a couple of amateur podcast hosts. We cover his favorite moments in Kinnick, his girlfriend's brother, and find out about his hockey playing days. Oh and we also find out he doesn't like Michigan football too much.

A very kind, courteous, professional young man, the one and the only Arland Bruce IV!!! We cover his favorite moments in Kinnick, if he likes pineapple on his pizza, and end with a bold prediction of touchdowns for the year. He was even kind enough to offer Matthew some free life advice.

Episode 4

Episode 4

Welcome to the Iowa Hype Podcast. This episode is terrible. Don't listen to it! I'm serious. Matthew was so tired from our recent trip to Disney, there's not much Hawk news happening currently, and the conversation is a real dud.
If you do decide you want to subject yourself to it, we talk briefly about our trip to Disney World, the Superbowl, Bout at the Ballpark, and the documentary, "The Shoulders of Giants."

My son and I are avid Hawkeye fans and enjoy spending time together talking about the team, and life in general. My goal with this podcast is to spend some time with my son and be able to enjoy these episodes in 20 years.
Right now this is just a fun thing we did together, but hopefully, it turns into something we can do together every couple of weeks!

Welcome to the Iowa Hype Podcast. We made it to episode THREE!!! YAY!!! We talk briefly about some NFL playoffs, who we like, who we don't. We chat about Tyler Linderbaum and why he's one of the coolest people ever, why you should probably listen to the Washed-up Walkons first and foremost, and Matthew is ready to start having guests on the show.

Welcome to the Iowa Hype Podcast. We shockingly made it to a 2nd episode. We talk briefly about how the first episode did, who's staying and who's leaving, and Matthew tells a fun story about meeting one of his favorite players parents in Washington D.C.
