In a move that signals a fresh approach to fan engagement, the University of the Pacific’s Athletics Department has introduced a new podcast series, Roar More with Tschuor. Hosted by Director of Athletics Adam Tschuor and featuring Tigers play‑by‑play voice Zack Bayrouty, the series offers listeners an unfiltered look at the people, decisions, and momentum that drive Pacific sports.
The podcast is designed to answer the questions fans have been asking: How do coaches prepare for a championship? What goes into adding a new sport? How do student‑athletes balance academics and competition? Each episode tackles a specific topic, from basketball rankings to coaching changes, and provides context that is rarely available in traditional press releases.
Listeners gain access to the day‑to‑day operations of the department. Tschuor discusses recruitment strategies, training regimens, and the support systems that keep athletes healthy and focused. By hearing these conversations directly from the people who shape Pacific athletics, fans develop a deeper appreciation for the complexity of collegiate sports.
One of the podcast’s core goals is to bridge the gap between the university and its supporters. Tschuor acknowledges that fans want more than game recaps; they want stories about the people behind the action. The conversational format invites listeners to feel part of the team’s journey, fostering a stronger community bond.
Beyond entertainment, the podcast serves as an educational tool for students, alumni, and prospective athletes. It showcases the university’s commitment to transparency and continuous improvement.
Episodes often feature guest appearances from coaches and athletes. These segments provide real‑world insights into leadership, resilience, and teamwork—skills that translate to classrooms and careers. Students can use these stories as case studies for leadership courses or as inspiration for their own projects.
With a new episode released each month, listeners receive timely updates on roster changes, upcoming tournaments, and strategic shifts. This regular cadence keeps the fan base informed and engaged, reducing the reliance on sporadic news releases.
Accessing the podcast is straightforward. Episodes are posted monthly on the Pacific Tigers’ YouTube channel, and the audio can be streamed directly from the university’s athletics website.
Listeners are encouraged to leave comments on YouTube, share episodes on social media, and participate in live Q&A sessions that the department occasionally hosts. By contributing questions or feedback, fans help shape future topics and deepen their connection to Pacific sports.
The podcast is just the beginning. The Athletics Department plans to expand its scope to cover emerging sports, alumni success stories, and behind‑the‑scenes features that highlight the university’s broader mission.
Future episodes may delve into areas such as sports science innovations, community outreach programs, and the impact of athletics on campus culture. This breadth ensures that the podcast remains relevant to a wide audience, from current students to alumni and local supporters.
As a fan, you can influence the podcast’s direction by suggesting topics, sharing your own experiences, or simply spreading the word. Your engagement helps the Athletics Department refine its messaging and strengthen its relationship with the community.
