Penn State Football: 2017 Year in Review
It’s the inaugural episode of The Obligatory PSU Podcast, the new companion podcast produced by the cast of The Obligatory PSU Pregame Show – former Penn State and NFL defensive tackle Brandon Noble, campus legend Mike “the Mailman” Herr, and authors/superfans Kevin Horne and Chris Buchignani. On Saturday of THON 2018 weekend, Brandon, Kevin, and Chris joined Mike for morning Mail Call at the Bryce Jordan Center and then regrouped at the BlueWhiteTV “living room” studio to look back on Penn State’s 2017 football season.

Just like the show, which began with complete strangers drinking beer and talking football on the back porch, this podcast will evolve (sort of… at least a little bit), and that includes everything from the format to the content to the show notes. Come along for the ride, and let us know what you like best.
