Bellu on the Bayou is hosted by Michael Bellu.
The Bellu on the Bayou podcast will focus on Louisiana State University fan reactions. I will mainly interview past and present LSU student-athletes to gain a unique perspective of both sides of being a Tigers fan. The unique part of being a student-athlete is being a student and an athlete, where one season you are a fan and the other you have fans. The fan experience is something that sets college sports apart from professional leagues.
