The Obligatory PSU Podcast

Fall camp opens this week. Summer graduation and Campus Move-In are right around the bend. Before you know it, Week Zero will be in the record books, and "Thundering Herd Hate Week" will be upon us. Many inquiring Nittany Lions want to know: Who is this guy set to lead the team out of the tunnel on September 5th?

To gain deeper insight into Penn State's head coach of the future, the guys welcome back Mark Wogenrich, editor and publisher of Penn State on SI, the site for Nittany Lions sports on the Sports Illustrated network. Mark has covered the team dating back to the late Paterno era and has spent time reporting on Coach Campbell's first offseason both in Happy Valley and, recently, Big Ten Media Days in Chicago. He offers perspective on who Campbell seems to be as a coach, communicator, and person and contrasts this latest coaching transition with the prior two, which both occurred under far less conventional circumstances.

HOSTED BY: Brandon Noble, Mike "The Mailman" Herr, Kevin Horne, Chris Buchignani

GUEST: Mark Wogenrich

What is The Obligatory PSU Podcast?

The Obligatory PSU Podcast features wide-ranging discussions of Penn State sports, Nittany Lions football in particular, and all things Penn State and Happy Valley from the cast of The Obligatory PSU Pregame Show: Former Penn State and NFL defensive lineman Brandon Noble (’92-97), campus icon Mike “the Mailman” Herr, Mount Nittany Conservancy Board Secretary Kevin Horne, and seven-time Sam's Club Member Chris Buchignani. Along with a rotating cast of characters from around State College and across Nittany Nation, the guys focus on the stories, issues, and personalities surrounding the Blue and White fan experience.

The Obligatory PSU Podcast delivers fun and insightful commentary on the teams, University, and place that are beloved by many thousands of students, alumni, and fans. There’s no pretense of objectivity or “journalistic” distance here; these guys are here because they care, and their Penn State knowledge and love shine through in every installment. The goal is to touch on a broad variety of topics relating to the Nittany Lions in conversations that are frequently funny and occasionally profound, all while enjoying a few (or more) adult beverages. If you’ve got Penn State in your blood, you’ll enjoy sharing the journey with us.
