Love the show, great content, but 50% of the podcast is ads unless you pay them $1/month on YouTube
I love you’re podcast typically. Tom I listened when you had Matt McGloin before he raised our taxes 33%. Anyway, this is about expectations and ppl including you guys, have to realize Franklin will NEVER get us a Natty. He and his staff just won’t break through. This is our ceiling. With that said, we wouldn’t have won these games in years past. You were so negative in this episode, you couldn’t talk about 3 4th down conversions to go get that playoff birth? This is the most hope I’ve had for a... more
Why would you publish this episode? It was a steaming pile of buckeyes. Justin goes to practice, doesn’t see anything or know who anyone is. He doesn’t talk to anyone of significance or get any real info. Tom asks Justin repeatedly about what he saw and Justin repeatedly answers “Like I said, I really could see much and I don’t know who anyone was.”
This episode seemed like they were contractually obligated to put out some sort of podcast because of sponsorship agreements. It was 21 minute... more
This episode was a steaming pile of dog poop. Justin went to practice and didn't know who anyone was or if they did a good job. Absolutely devoid of useful information. Why did you publish this episode
Justin King has become one of my favorite voices in Penn State media. He combines player perspective, nfl knowledge, talent evaluation expertise, and balanced critique of team strength and weakness. Definitely an upgrade. Tom does a good job of maintaining tempo and topic. I don’t miss the previous negative podcast tone at all.

Across recent episodes, the show combines in-depth Penn State football analysis with recruiting and spring practice coverage, often featuring a former PSU quarterback as a co-host and guests from college programs and football media. Typical topics include quarterback development, roster moves, transfer dynamics, NIL implications, and how coaching changes shape both on-field strategy and recruiting pipelines, all interwoven with sponsor messaging and fan engagement.
A standout aspect is the blend of insider perspective from a PSU alum with on-the-ground scouting and practice observations, plus recurring guests from prominent college programs and Penn State media outlets. It's likely to appeal to devoted PSU fans who want professional-level b... more
