Each week, Titan Table Talk features conversations with Illinois Wesleyan University coaches and student-athletes. In the latest episode, host Matt Sosler interviewed head football coach Jared Williamson after the team’s first road win of the season against Carthage, a member of the College Conference of Illinois and Wisconsin (CCIW). Williamson also previewed the team's upcoming first night game of 2025 at Washington University in St. Louis.

Defensive linemen Matt Hansen and Nathan Schmidt joined to discuss their performances in the Carthage game. Hansen recorded three tackles and an interception, while Schmidt contributed two tackles and forced a fumble.

Men’s golf was represented by Pablo Castro and Michael Spitzer. Castro set a program record by shooting -8 in the final round of the NCAA Preview Tournament, helping Illinois Wesleyan move from 22nd to 4th place overall.

The episode concluded with women’s volleyball setters Sophia Feeney and Lauren O'Brien discussing their recent matches. Both are Bloomington natives who reflected on their local ties to the team, recapped a 2-1 week, and looked ahead to re-entering CCIW play against North Park.

"Welcome back to Titan Table Talk! Each week we sit down with Illinois Wesleyan coaches and student-athletes to hear their stories, reflections, and updates from around Titan athletics," said host Matt Sosler at the start of the episode.
