The Cardinal Chirp Podcast

We got Molly Brumbach and Maria Utz from Women's Soccer for 40 minutes...a cappella, Halloween, high school, and slippers were all discussed in depth...many laughs were shared and we think you'll enjoy this one.

This is your one-stop shop for all things Homecoming as we welcome the unofficial King of the the Wesleyan Tailgate - Dave Bagatelle, Class of 1986 - as the featured guest in this week's episode.

Having just experienced one of the best weekends in program history, Audrey Pace '26 and Kenzie Mauro '27 join the pod to talk about the weekend that saw the Cardinals defeat Williams to secure the program's first Little Three Championship since 2003 and then follow that up with a 2-1 double overtime win at seven-time defending NCAA National Champion Middlebury, representing the first time Wesleyan has ever beaten the Panthers in Vermont.

Fresh off a 42-point home win over Hamilton, senior defensive back Dylan Connors '26 and junior quarterback Matt Fitzsimons '27 join hosts Cat Palmer '26 and Will Littell '26 to discuss the current season, last year's historic outright NESCAC Championship, their personal journeys to Wesleyan, preseason shenanigans, and much more!

Two-time All-American and two-time NESCAC Player of the Year Sophia Lindus '26 details her journey across the country from Los Angeles to Middletown where she has thrived both on and off the court despite having to overcome a devastating knee injury that forced her to miss the entire 2024 season.

Hear from our team of four student-athlete hosts, Bridget Horst '26, Cat Palmer '26, Will Littell '26, and Kayla Howell '26, as they introduce themselves and detail what fans can expect from the podcast this season.
