About this podcast
Hi! My name is Sienna McEneaney and I am a journalism student and collegiate athlete who interviews other athletes about how sports affect their life. The Runaround Podcast will share the entire run-around of every guest’s experiences in and around athletics. Sports have the power to bring people together in a way not many other things can, and I want to help shine a light on that!
After being strictly audio-based for the first three years of producing the Runaround, I am excited to add a visual element to my conversations by utilizing the UNO television studio and a full behind-the-scenes crew. Full, viewable podcast episodes can be found on my Youtube Channel, The Runaround Pod, and on Spotify. I'm excited to kick off a new chapter of The Runaround!
