Hey, all you out there in the podcast universe. You're probably wondering exactly why I'm coming to you on a Monday. Well, there's a good reason why. As I often do, let me break down the fourth wall of the podcast universe. Sometimes podcasts like The Commercial Break will get a request for something called a feed drop.

19.44 - 40.631 Bryan Green

That's when I take someone else's podcast or a snippet of someone else's show and put it on my own RSS feed, the thing that you're listening to right now. These are very common throughout the industry and nine times out of ten, I say no to these. I know your time is valuable and I don't want to waste it. But a couple times a year, a request will come across my desk and I actually like the podcast.

and I think you might like it too. And today, I've got one of those shows. It's something I've talked about before here on the commercial break. It's a show called Campus Files. For many people, college was some of the best days of their life. But if you pull back the curtain, scratch the surface a little bit, it was much more complicated and sometimes sinister than it appeared.

Financial fraud and abuse, sports scandals, political unrest and upheaval, admission shenanigans, and downright craziness. It seems like every other week, there's a headline about a scandal at a major university. Each week, Campus Files dives into some of the wildest scandals and stories that have taken place across colleges and universities.

I'll tell you what, Campus Files is definitely sharing some stories that you will not hear on the campus tour. So here's what I'm going to do. I'm going to drop in a preview where Campus Files is taking a deep dive into a Greek life drama, more specifically, Bama Rush. And if you know me, I love a good Bama Rush drama. And this one is no joke. This is an Odyssey original podcast.

109.051 - 117.638 Bryan Green

You can get it on the free Odyssey app or wherever you're listening to podcasts. Take a listen to this 10 minute preview about Bama Rush, and I'll be back to wrap it up.

119.967 - 132.027 George Wallace

I draw the line in the dust and toss the gauntlet before the feet of tyranny, and I say segregation now, segregation tomorrow, and segregation forever.

137.082 - 156.973 Ad Narrator

The University of Alabama is the site of one of the most famous moments in the history of the civil rights era. In 1963, Alabama Governor George Wallace defiantly stood in the doorway of the university auditorium. He was symbolically trying to block Black students from desegregating the university.

156.993 - 167.788 George Wallace

As governor and chief magistrate of the state of Alabama, I deem it to be my solemn obligation and duty to stand before you, representing the rights and sovereignty of this state and its people.
