Pitt Beyond The Script | Episode 1.13 | Swimming & Diving Staff, plus Pat Narduzzi

Welcome back to Beyond the Script — the podcast that takes you inside Pitt Athletics, past the press conferences and into the real conversations. Host Jason Earle sits down with the people making it happen.

Pitt Swimming & Diving enters a new era. Katie Kasprzak steps into a full-program director role, with Ian Walsh and Josh Larcom joining as head coaches for swimming and diving, respectively. The three sit down with Jason to talk through the new leadership model, the culture they're building, and the returners and newcomers who'll shape the season ahead.

Plus, Pat Narduzzi joins the show four games into the season to talk team identity, breakout performances from the freshman class, the growth of the passing attack, and what's riding on this final home stretch — starting with this week's showdown against Virginia Tech.
