Podward State: Season 5, Episode 1
On our season five premiere, hosts Samuel Brungo and Grace Cunningham are back in the studio — albeit a brand-new one.
We’re joined this week by associate producers Jordan Mansberger and Will Pegler to catch up on what we might’ve missed over the summer. The crew touches on all things from COVID-19 testing and vaccines to renovated restaurants and buildings around State College.
For the second half of our show, Sam and Will are joined by our other two football beat writers, Ryan Parsons and Gabe Angieri. The four discuss their expectations for this season and chat about some new players and coaches. Finally, they preview the No. 12 Wisconsin Badgers before the Nittany Lions head off to Madison this weekend.
Although this is just the beginning, stay tuned this fall for an exciting season filled with a ton of fun guests and topics.
