Wouldn’t it be cool to listen in as today’s top college wrestlers talk technique… or legendary coaches and old-school wrestlers tell their stories?

Now you can, thanks to websites that provide audio interviews with wrestlers, coaches, wrestling writers and others connected to the sport. Here are a couple websites that provide a nationwide (and sometimes worldwide) perspective. If you know of others, please let us know. Thanks!

Wrestling411. This website provides unique coverage of amateur wrestling. Award-winning wrestling journalists Jason Bryant and Kyle Klingman conduct insightful interviews with some of the most significant figures in the sport, which are archived and available for listening at the website.

In the past week or so, Wrestling411 has been busy interviewing a wide range of individuals from the world of wrestling, including Terry Brands (two-time NCAA and World champion, and head assistant coach at the University of Iowa)… Dennis Hall (World champion and 1996 Olympic silver medalist)… Wayne Baughman (three-time Olympian, Olympic coach, and retired coach from the U.S. Air Force Academy)… Boston University assistant coach Sean Gray… and Doug Jesse, who’s starting up the new wrestling program at Tiffin University in Ohio.
