Hey folks. Great news (maybe). If you’re reading this, it’s probably at least good news: The most lovable, least reliable Penn State podcast on earth is back, and this our promise to you - we’ll be here for every week, at least once per week, from now until at least the end of the calendar year, all thanks to the support of the awesome folks at ForTheBlogy.com, the website and YouTube channel that brings you some of the best and most original coverage of the Nittany Lions out there.

The best way to support our efforts here on the pod is to join the For The Blogy Donors Club. For a small, one-time donation of 10 dollars, you help us keeping this pod running, and allow For The Blogy to keep its YouTube and website content from going behind a paywall. And, best of all, as a thanks for your generosity, For The Blogy will send you a custom bottle koozie for your Saturday tailgates.

So to join, go to www.fortheblogy.com/club today.

In their latest return to this podcast, all four of the core Obligatory crew - Brandon Noble, Mike the Mailman, Kevin Horne, and Chris B. - take a look back at the personal journeys that led each of them to a lifetime of devotion and love for Dear Old State, and they relay an abridged version of how their paths converged to create a Penn State pregame show that has continued for nearly a decade. For any new arrivals out there, it's a solid introduction to the cast of characters who'll share their drunken reactions to Penn State football throughout the season, while returning fans will get answers to the burning questions they never knew they had - like, "how much does a six-pack of decent beer cost in Germany?"

Here's to another season of Nittany Lions football; can't wait to share the ride. #WeAre

HOSTED BY: Brandon Noble, Mike "The Mailman" Herr, Kevin Horne, Chris Buchignani
