  • Love Penn State, so Let’s Talk about Penn State

    I enjoyed this podcast at first, especially the bottom up nature of the journalism, with an emphasis on local Penn State coverage. This past season has transitioned much in the same way the season evolved. What started out as football discussion, became an obsession with ‘appreciation lectures’. What I mean by this is similar to the experience of James Franklin as coach. In the end he spent more time talking at the media and at the fan base demanding appreciation for his accomplishments.

  • Great content when they record.

    Three things make a great podcast- 1-Content, 2-Hosts personalities create a fun dynamic and 3-consistent predictable delivery of the show. Nittany Dispatch delivers on 1 and 2 but fails miserably to fulfill 3. Making it more frustrating is that the hosts know they fail to deliver regular shows, promise to do so yet continue to fail to deliver. A frustrated 5 stars!!

  • Good Show

    Love the show and always appreciate the info, but it is time to move on from the VT JF talk. I get that some of it is tongue in cheek, and agree it was an interesting story at first but that was 5+ months ago. Time to move on.

Talking Points

Recent interactions between the hosts and their guests.

Penn State AD Pat Kraft on Beaver Stadium, the coaching search, Matt Campbell and much more
Q: Where do you stand in the Big Ten in terms of men's basketball budget and your long-term vision for that program?
Budgets are complex and not just about spending the most; it's about sustainable investment, developing the right mix of players and coaching, and realizing that more money doesn't always equal better outcomes. We'll compete at the highest level and aim for NCAA tournament contention while navigating the changing landscape.
Penn State AD Pat Kraft on Beaver Stadium, the coaching search, Matt Campbell and much more
Q: Truly brings the best out of people. But looking back at it, what surprised you most about running that search? Is there anything that maybe you learned from it that you would change moving forward with searches?
There was a lot of venom and intensity, more than I expected. The vitriol ramped up toward the end, and it even affected my family. If I could change anything, I'd push back a little harder against misinformation and be more cautious about trusting information the third time around.
Penn State GM Derek Hoodjer on roster building philosophy, what's different at Penn State and more
Q: What does 5 for 5 mean for you guys and what impact do you expect?
There will be a large scale impact as seniors gain eligibility and more players can consider staying or transferring; the landscape adds more moving parts to roster planning and recruiting strategy.
Penn State GM Derek Hoodjer on roster building philosophy, what's different at Penn State and more
Q: Derek, how's it going?
Things are well. I appreciate you guys having me on.
Penn State fires head coach James Franklin: What it means for the Nittany Lions moving forward
Q: Did James Franklin lose the team?
No, the effort was not because of him but due to the pressure of the Oregon game.
