This is the official fan podcast of the Grand Rapids Rise, or the unofficial Grand Rapids Rise podcast depending on how you look at it! A lot of sports depend on how you look at it, and here we'll get a look at all things Grand Rapids Rise!
Hey there Rise faithful, I just HAD to produce a podcast as the Rise announce that Cathy George is not returning as head coach and is transitioning to a front office role.
I do have breaking news on when the new coach will be announced, so listen to hear that as well as my thoughts on who that coach could be!

Eliminated: The Offseason Looms
The Grand Rapids Rise fell 2-3 to the Orlando Valkyries in their home finale and were eliminated from the playoffs later in the weekend. It's frustrating that a team playing much better ball down the stretch could not overcome early season losses and injuries. I begin to discuss my thoughts on the offseason and what could or could not loom with the Rise coaches and players this offseason. What do you think? If you had to pick only a few core players to return for sure, who would they be? Let me know by writing the show at embersnest@gmail.com, or on Instagram @embersnestpod.

Playoff Scenarios and Team Performance: A Blitz!
The description should be short because so is the episode! The Rise would not be eliminated with a loss tomorrow but they need the win as far as this podcast is concerned. The playoff scenarios are confusing without the loss!
What do you think about the Rise playing their best ball at this time of year? Will it be enough?
