  • Ep 31: Temi Thomas-Ailara: The High-IQ Powerhouse Dominating LOVB
    Mar 25 2026

    In this episode of Side Out Society, we step off the court with one of the most dominant scorers in the professional game to uncover the person behind the points: Temi Thomas-Ailara. While she is currently lighting up the league for LOVB Madison, Temi opens up about the "imposter syndrome" she felt during her transition to the pro ranks and how she’s learned to own her place alongside the very women she grew up admiring. We explore the fascinating contrast between her high-level degrees in bioengineering and her absolute love for "total garbage" cinema, proving that even a literal genius needs to shut off the brain with a bad movie every now and then.

    The conversation dives into the "Temi" the fans don’t see, from her meticulous hobby of bedazzling and her progress on a long-term crochet project to the essential role her cats and her brother play in keeping her grounded. Temi shares heartfelt stories about her family’s support, how she manages the pressure of being a "high-IQ powerhouse," and what it really feels like to finally be at home in the professional world. Whether you're interested in the mental game of elite sports or just want to know which bad movie to add to your watchlist, this episode is a beautiful look at one of volleyball's most thoughtful stars.

  • Ep 30: Coach Jason Kidd: Grit, Growth, and the "Nervous" Reality of Being a Volleyball Dad
    Mar 18 2026

    In this episode of Side Out Society, we are joined by a literal basketball savant and a certified power player in the world of sports: Dallas Mavericks Head Coach Jason Kidd.

    While you know him as a Hall of Famer, two-time Olympic Gold Medalist, and one of the greatest point guards to ever play the game, we’re diving into his newest high-stakes role: Volleyball Dad and Professional Investor.

    Coach Kidd joins Tiff and Lindsay to discuss his strategic investment in the Dallas Pulse and why he believes volleyball is currently the most exciting "organic" growth story in sports.

    Whether you’re a Mavs fan, a volleyball parent, or just love a good look into the business of sports, this conversation is a total ace.

    Mar 11 2026

    This week on the Side Out Society Podcast, hosts Tiffany Oshinsky and Lindsay Harwood break down the week's professional and collegiate volleyball news. We start with Major League Volleyball, where Dan Meske and Beth Launiere have been named All-Star coaches for the March 28th game in Orlando. We also dive into this week's dominance of rookie Mimi Colyer, who is currently leading the league in both points and kills.

    Over in League One Volleyball, we discuss the return of the LOVB Icons fan-voting initiative and the newly announced host cities for the playoffs. Plus, we react to the 12 nickname finalists for LOVB Nebraska — from the Cranes to the Cornadoes — and debate which one actually captures the spirit of the state.

    Finally, we highlight "superhuman" performances from Lauren Carlini and Jordan Thompson, recap Louisville’s first spring game victory, and share our dream celebrity volleyball teammates.
