The Obligatory PSU Podcast

Who needs show prep? The guys launch right into recording with zero plan and come out with a fun, if wide-ranging, discussion that covers topics ranging from the college football transfer portal to hotels in State College.

Show Notes

Plans. Everybody has them, as Mike Tyson once said, until they start getting punched in the face. Well, "everybody" except maybe Noble, Chris, Kevin, and Mailman. And sometimes plans are overrated. For this installment, the guys just smashed "Record" and left the rest to fate, resulting in a fun and wide-ranging conversation that ended up covering a lot of ground. There's some college football talk about early enrollments, graduate transfers, and the portal. Kevin explains the two top behaviors for identifying "old people" and his attempt to Jedi mind trick Penn State's survey about Fall attendance at Beaver Stadium (Kev gives his "official" prediction on 2020 stadium capacity). Mailman shares some listener questions and PSU trivia. And there's even a half-assed explanation of why Chris edits out the swear words from the podcast. It's beautiful nonsense at its best. Hope you enjoy! #WeAre

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

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.
