Purpose
The Assembly Call was launched with a simple goal: give IU basketball fans a place online to hang out and discuss their Hoosiers after every game. Thus, as soon as every IU game ends, another episode of The Assembly Call begins.
Listen live to each episode right on the homepage.
In the future, there will be regular live shows in between games and during the off-season as well.
Hosts
The Assembly Call was founded by Jerod Morris, with Andy Bottoms and Ryan Phillips signing on soon thereafter to be co-hosts. All three are proud IU graduates.

History
The Assembly Call was launched in 2011, with the first live postgame show airing live after Indiana’s season-opening victory over Stony Brook.
As of the writing of this About page, the Hoosiers are 11-0 all time when taking the floor with an episode of The Assembly Call scheduled. We are not trying to draw any direct lines of causation; we’re just pointing out facts.
