In this episode of Volley Talk, we break down the Champions League quarterfinal series between Scandicci and Fenerbahce. This was the only women's quarterfinal to go to a Golden Set, and the level of play was so entertaining to watch!

We also make women's Dream Team selections for international volleyball, Team USA, and NCAA. We know there will be some varied opinions here, so let's hear your picks!

In this episode of Volley Talk, we take a look at the fan-voted (?), league-determined (?) player-inputted (?) MLV All-Star teams. Basically, we have no idea how exactly these teams were chosen, but we have some thoughts.

We also break down some of the longer winning and losing streaks in various leagues. Are they indicative of how the team actually plays or is something weird going on?

In this episode of Volley Talk, we look back at the NCAA Women's National Freshmen of the Year from 2010-present. This exercise is a bit tougher than the POY segment we did last week, but we try to rank their collegiate and pro careers.

UCLA remains unbeaten after taking down Hawai'i 3-0, Indy and Dallas have clearly separated themselves on the MLV front, and what would happen if there was a "transfer portal" internationally?

In this episode of Volley Talk, we look back at the NCAA Women's Players of the Year from 2010-present. We have some fun and try to rank their collegiate careers and see how their pro careers stacked up to expectation.

Confirm or Deny makes a comeback, and the Hawai'i vs Pepperdine series was a lot of fun- honestly, much more competitive than we were expecting! Will Hawai'i hand UCLA their first loss of the season this week?

In this episode of Volley Talk, we take a look at the playoff matchups happening in the Italian leagues and Champions League. We get out our crystal balls to predict how various leagues will finish their regular seasons and playoffs. Will we be correct?

The FIVB officially released the rule changes they will be testing in the 2026 VNL (no libero changes, thankfully!), and we dive into the LOVB double sub situation and wonder... which national team has the strongest double sub (other than Italy, of course).

In this episode of Volley Talk, we take a look at the invitees to the USA Volleyball Collegiate Training Camp. Who would make our starting 7? Any surprise selections or snubs?

Our listeners have been on the same page lately, and many people have been submitting the same questions, which is awesome. We dive into some of the most popular questions, including why we don't talk more about Kendall Kipp, and we make our own MLV All-Star picks.

In this episode of Volley Talk, we go over some of the rule changes we will see implemented in VNL 2026. Some are ok, and some are... not our cup of tea.

Grand Rapids and Omaha made a very interesting trade in MLV that has us shaking our heads, and we dive into the pros and cons of some different blocking tactics.
