It's the "Higher Ground" edition of the #Bengals Booth Podcast as Cincinnati looks to follow a thrilling season-opening win over the Vikings by adding a road win over Andy Dalton and the Chicago Bears.

On this edition, I’ll talk to NFL RedZone host Scott Hanson about the demands of hosting “seven hours of commercial free football” and get his thoughts on this year’s Bengals.

My 1-on-1 player conversation this week is with Evan McPherson, coming off one of the greatest debuts by a kicker in NFL history.

Dave Lapham joins me to discuss the latest Bengals news and share some keys to this week’s game

And finally, it’s our "Know the Foe" segment as we discuss the Bears with their outstanding radio voice Jeff Joniak.
