We take a look back at our first year of episodes and talk about some of the key and pivotal moments in our evolution as a podcast about the Chicago Catholic League football teams and other topics related to the important issues facing high school sports today.

Joe Knows — where Dan throws the questions at Joe to hear his take on the hot topics, the issues, and sometimes the stuff nobody wants to say out loud regarding high school sports and Chicago Catholic League football.

Steve Soucie, Shaw Media's Managing Editor and Illinois high school football analyst/Guru, joins the podcast to discuss Illinois high school football.

We interview head football coach for Benet Academy, Pat New. Coach New talks about the resurgence of Benet Academy football, the players we should be on the look out for, and the challenges of competing in the Chicago Catholic League.

In our inaugural episode of the Chicago Catholic League football player spotlight, we interview Luke Doyle, star and standout wide receiver from Benet Academy.

In this episode of THE Varsity Voices, we’re flipping the format and handing the mic to Dan, for our special segment we like to call… Dear Dan.

This is where we throw out the questions—raw, real, and sometimes ridiculous—and Dan gives it to us straight. Whether it’s Chicago Catholic League football topics, NIL deals, transfer rules, or just who’s got the best stadium nachos, you’ll hear what he really thinks. No scripts, no sugarcoating. Just Dan, doing what Dan does best, calling it how he sees it!

Where is high school sports headed considering NIL, transfer issues, right to play and other factors? Plus, what kind of pressure are high school sports administrators and coaches under considering today's environment. Are they ready, do they need to make some changes...listen in and find out our thoughts.

In this episode we interview Theo Hopkins, the newly appointed head football coach at Leo Catholic High School in Chicago, part of the Chicago Catholic League. He brings a wealth of experience as well as deep connections to the school and the Chicago Catholic League football.
