From big games to big headlines, Balls & Banter is where sports, entertainment, and the day’s wildest storylines collide. Hosted by former counterterrorism officer and sports junkie Drew Berquist, the show delivers fast-moving takes, sharp banter, and no-fluff analysis. It is heavy on football and major American sports, with a dash of news and culture when it’s too ridiculous (or too important) to ignore. It’s energetic, unfiltered, and built for fans who want laughs, real talk, and a host who doesn’t tiptoe around the truth.
