@teacriterion Thank you!

[Matt Barry @realmattbarry]

@teacriterion Hi, there! I’d love to see what you could do for TRON: Legacy (2010), Hot Fuzz (2007) and Its A Wonderful Life (1946)

Looking forward to see what you can create!

[Heart of a Fan @HeartOfAFanPod]

25 years ago, the greatest play in #Titans history took place in an #NFLPlayoffs moment for the ages. You may have seen it before, but have you ever seen it from the view of Fan of the Year @bg901?

Thank you for sharing your story with us, Brandon!

[Heart of a Fan @HeartOfAFanPod]

The pick is in!

We're proud to announce our partnership with @PFUFA_org , the fans of #NFL's Fan of the Year program, to help share their members' stories of community and passion in upcoming episodes and projects.

Are you a diehard sports fan like no other? Have a great story in your fandom? My friend @realmattbarry is looking to tell these stories via the @HeartOfAFanPod

[Heart of a Fan @HeartOfAFanPod]

You may have seen these games before, but have you ever seen them from the fan's perspective?

We had a great first season of #HeartofAFan, but we can't wait to share Season 2 with you soon!

Largely won’t be engaging on this app anymore, outside of the podcast’s account.

If you’re moving over to the new app, I’ve set up shop there to share the podcast and occasional thoughts if you want to join me there!

[CBJectively Speaking @CBJectivelyPod]

We did an interview for @HeartOfAFanPod about the incredible 5th Line community & how we’ve all come together through our shared tragedy/loss 💙❤️

We are so lucky to be part of this community & we hope that shows through this special recording — more details to come! #CBJ

I met Tim Tolokan freshman year and was spellbound by all the stories he told from his years of experience.

In his time, he sat on the board that decided to move UConn out of the Yankee Conference into the Big East, and hire Geno/Calhoun.

No better definition of a Husky!

[Kyle Muncy ®️ @UConnTrademark]

Tim Tolokan is the reason I have been here @uconn for 31 years full-time and was the definition of Bleed Blue. All of what Huskymania is today started with him and the promotion of the amazing things that @UConnMBB and @UConnWBB have become. #RIPTimely https://t.co/C5xlTuueM9
