Episode 69: Interview with Kade Vilio, and with Men's Rugby Athlete Jan Lourens

There's a particular energy to university sports that exists nowhere else, a blend of raw passion and campus pride that fuels every game. The Mars' Hill Sports Podcast taps directly into that current, offering an insider's perspective on the athletes and stories shaping Trinity Western University. Created by the student-run Mars' Hill Newspaper, this series goes beyond just scores and standings. Hosts Tyler Jones and Luke Rattray, both former sports editors who have steered the newspaper itself, bring a depth of institutional knowledge and a genuine connection to the Spartan community. Their conversations feel less like formal interviews and more like the insightful debates you'd overhear in the campus common room after a big win or a tough loss. Each episode pulls you into the heart of TWU's sports culture, featuring the voices of student-athletes, coaches, and fellow students who live it every day. You'll get honest breakdowns of season performances, thoughtful looks at the balance between sport and academics, and a real sense of what it means to represent the university. It's a podcast made with a clear understanding that the story isn't just about what happens on the field or court, but about the people behind the jerseys. For anyone curious about the heartbeat of TWU athletics, from dedicated fans to fellow students, this is your direct line to the action.
