About this listen
Tricia Whitaker and Sydney Parrish sit down with Don Fischer, the iconic Voice of Indiana University football and men’s basketball for more than 50 years.
From his humble start unloading freight trains to becoming one of the most respected play-by-play broadcasters in America, Don shares incredible behind-the-scenes stories — including how he lied his way into his first job, the five-hour mentoring session that changed his life, and the moment he knew Kurt Cignetti was special.
Fischer also opens up about IU’s unforgettable football run, what makes Cignetti and Darian DeVries the perfect fits for Indiana, and how he’s preparing to call two IU games in one day at the Big Ten Championship.
If you love IU sports or want a masterclass in broadcasting, this is an all-time Sideline Stories episode.
