This Wednesday Buckeye Talk episode begins with an announcement and then continues with nearly three hours of appreciation.

Doug Lesmerises is leaving cleveland.com and Buckeye Talk. The pod will continue with Nathan Baird and Stephen Means and a potential addition, and you'll find Doug somewhere else out there in podcast land pursuing a chance he couldn't turn down.

Doug will be on two more episodes on Thursday and Friday, but on this episode he answers more than 40 questions from text subscribers about his favorite Ohio State games, players, coaches and memories, and his favorite episodes and aspects of Buckeye Talk.

This went super long, but there was a lot to remember, and a lot for Doug to be grateful about. This podcast audience has been the highlight of his career, and he wouldn't be where he is without these listeners.

So strap in for lots of memories ... or skip this one and look forward to next week and the new future of Buckeye Talk.

Thanks for making Buckeye Talk part of your Ohio State fandom.
