Blue Demon Room

Welcome to the Blue Demon Room, the official podcast of DePaul Athletics! Our hosts, Jenna Duddleston and Kacy Standohar, will be sitting down with our own student-athletes, coaches and alumni to hear their stories, learn what keeps them going and get to know who they are on and off the field of play. We look forward to featuring our DePaul Athletics team working behind the scenes to dive deeper into what goes into running a Division I program in the city of Chicago. Episodes will air every other Tuesday so be sure to follow along with us on Spotify, Apple Podcasts, YouTube and DePaulBlueDemons.com.
