In the middle portion of the program, Northeast baseball coach Richy Harrelson bats cleanup and not only talks about his 2020 teams but also the new NEMCC Baseball/Softball Complex at 600 N.

In the third interview of the program, Kollmeyer welcomes Student Success Center director Britney Whitley to the podcast to talk about all the advantages of the Student Success Center and also the changes that the SSC has brought to the Northeast student population. Whitley talks about the availability of the Tutoring Lab and the Co-Lab until 9 p.m. each night for students who wish to find a quiet place to study with friends. In addition to helping change the student culture at Northeast, the Student Success Center has proven to keep students inc lass and produce more hours finished and a higher grade point average than those that do not use the facility.
