Podward State: Season 3, Episode 13
On this episode of Podward State, hosts Matt Ogden, Matt Paolizzi, and Sam Brungo talk with writer Acacia Aster Broder about Penn State’s upcoming hockey season and how the team is shaping up to perform after a weird offseason.
Later, we chat with Onward State social media manager Ryan Parsons about what went wrong during Penn State’s 30-23 loss to Nebraska and how the team got to an 0-4 hole. He also touches on Penn State basketball’s media day and the surprise statements a few players made about former head coach Patrick Chambers.
Then, Parsons is joined by associate editor Colleen Nersten and managing editor Matt DiSanto to discuss and review some new State College food joints, including Crust & Crumb Cafe, Weirdough’s Custom Pizzeria, Justice Chicken, and Shake Smart.
Podward State releases episodes weekly and features discussions about all things Penn State, including sports, news, student life, and entertainment.
