Episode 013 | Leah Edmond Talks Atlanta, Team Culture & the Future of MLV

[upbeat music] Hello, hello, hello.

What's going on everybody? Welcome to the Set Six Podcast, the official podcast of Major League Volleyball.

Things look a little different, and that's because I am in a hotel room in Pittsburgh right now, where we are already working on the next episode.

That's just the, the dedication to the craft that we have.

But in all seriousness, no, it's, um, really fun.

I think you all are gonna like it a lot.

Um, and also some stuff that's gonna be on our social media, so stay tuned to our Instagram, um, and keep touch on it this week, um, 'cause we'll have some great stuff, um, from being out here.

But just again, one of the, one of the great perks about this job and just being able to travel a whole bunch and get to d- you know, meet up with our athletes, um, in the off-season.

But I'm, I'm getting ahead of myself.

Please welcome to episode 13 of the official MLV podcast, this being Set Six.

Please continue to like, comment, and subscribe.

Got a lot of great feedback this last week on the pod, which is always, always so much fun and, um, yeah, just love hearing from you.

So thank you for, for doing that.

Before you listen to this one in its entirety, please go listen to episode 12 with Ally Czech, an awesome conversation with one of the newest members of MLV Nor Cal.

And this one you clicked on because we are talking to Leah Edmond, arguably one of the, one of the biggest faces, maybe the biggest face of MLV.

It was such a blast to talk with Leah.

I got to chat with her a little bit last season as well.

Um, she's just the best, which you all know, and that's why you're here.

So, so excited to talk to Leah.

Um, but first, um, you know, to preview a little bit again of, of next week's episode, and we'll say more of this too when we get there.

Um, being here and, and being able to see some of the, the Pit facilities and the University of Pittsburgh, uh, just a truly, truly a pleasure.

And so if, if, uh, any of those, um, staff or alumni are watching, just a, a big thank you to what we've been able to do here this week in Pittsburgh, um, and, and a thank you to them.

And again, you'll see more of that, uh, this week.

And, um, a thank you to, to Leah and the, the, uh, Atlanta staff for being able to talk to her.

We actually did this one a while ago, and we didn't wanna, uh, schedule Leah and Aiko two back to back.

You know, we had to spread it out a little bit, um, to not be so Atlanta centric.

But, uh, we know you wanna hear from, from Leah, uh, like we said, one of the, one of the faces of these, this league, which you know.

So the format of this episode is gonna be the news, then we'll chat with Leah, and then we'll wrap it up.

Pretty, pretty smooth and simple.

So without any further ado, let us get to the news from, uh, this lovely hotel room here at the Hilton in Pittsburgh.
