Podward State is so back.

On the season nine premiere of Podward State, hosts Connor Krause and Hailey Stutzman are joined by Penn State and Onward State alumna and New York Jets team photographer Sarah Snyder.

Before getting into the main interview, Charlie Pegler, Slaughter Joseph, Aidan Conrad, and Mikey DeAngelis discuss some Happy Valley headlines from the first few weeks of the semester. The gang chats about Luke Combs and Zach Bryan’s upcoming performances in State College, tuition increases, and the new Cow & Cookie storefront in the HUB.

Next, Krause and Stutzman welcome NFL photographer Snyder to the studio. Throughout the episode, Snyder discusses her involvement at Penn State, journey to the NFL, and the ins and outs of life as a photographer for a professional sports team.

To cap off the show, Krause and Keeley Lamm get into some Penn State football talk, including West Virginia score predictions and whether James Franklin’s choice to withhold the announcement of his starting quarterback was just “James being James.”
