The Big Ten Network’s Mike Hall has a brand new podcast, starting Tuesday November 10th.

“On The Bench with Mike Hall” is a long-form discussion podcast featuring Big Ten coaches and players, plus national announcers and entertainers sharing stories with Mike about their Big Ten fandom, as well as their fascinating careers.

It is an outlet for longer stories to be told, on topics – and with guests - that are tangential to the Big Ten.

Some of the stories you’ll hear include:

Gene Keady on why he’s given his dogs names like Princess, Queeny and Wimpy.

Fran McCaffrey on how Julia Roberts once aided him in recruiting.

Joel Klatt on his years of survival as a minor league baseball player.

Gerry Dinardo explaining what it was like playing with Rudy Ruettiger in college.

Tom Izzo on the note Judd Heathcoate left in his office the day he took over the program, and much more.

New episodes released every Tuesday.

Available wherever you get your podcasts.
