A college basketball (and more!) podcast hosted by Will Rainbolt (@willajrainbolt). As an Indiana University graduate and a devoted superfan of men's and women's college basketball, there should be no limits for what to discuss! Aside from recapping previous action, there will also be episodes devoted to throwback days in college hoops. From "worst-of" episodes to "remember that guy/girl?" the hope is to make this podcast as interactive and interesting as possible. If you have any questions or ideas, please feel free to email the pod at crimsonmiserypod@gmail.com ! Thanks for listening!
