Podward State: Season 5, Episode 3 Ft. Kirk French

On this week’s episode of Podward State, hosts Samuel Brungo and Grace Cunningham begin by going over some Penn State and State College headlines from the week with help from associate producer Jordan Mansberger and our new contributors, Shannon Smith, Charlie Pegler, and Hailey Stutzman.

After that, we’re joined by Penn State’s own alcohol expert, anthropology professor Kirk French. He talks with us about his advocacy for COVID-19 vaccinations and the initiatives that he has started to encourage Penn State to require vaccines for all students, faculty, and staff.

Finally, Brungo is joined once again by editor Connor Krause to recap last weekend’s football game against Ball State and preview this Saturday’s White Out against Auburn.

Podward State is an Onward State-produced podcast that releases weekly episodes on Spotify and YouTube. Each will feature discussions about all things Penn State, including sports, news, student life, entertainment, and more.
