On the season 11 premiere of Podward State, hosts Hailey Stutzman, Charlie Pegler, and Keeley Lamm were joined by the entire cast and crew to preview the season, introduce new members of the Podward State family, and share some pod banter.

To kick things off, Stutzman, Pegler, and Lamm caught up on their summer activities and returns to senior year.

Then, the hosts got to know newly established Podward State contributors Ally Eaton and Michael Siroty by asking them a few familiar questions and getting into some nitty gritty topics.

Eaton and Siroty were then joined by Slaughter Joseph and Ryan Smith to read Penn State headlines since returning to the studio including downtown’s new Tropical Smoothie and Penn Staters Stephen Nedoroscik and Cam Sullivan-Brown making their reality TV debuts on “Dancing with the Stars” and “Big Brother,” respectively.

Finally, Aidan Conrad, Mikey DeAngelis, CJ Gill, and Joseph chatted about what’s new in the world of Penn State Athletics and life as the No. 3 football team in the country.
