The Obligatory PSU Podcast features wide-ranging discussions of Penn State sports, Nittany Lions football in particular, and all things Penn State and Happy Valley from the cast of The Obligatory PSU Pregame Show: Former Penn State and NFL defensive lineman Brandon Noble (’92-97), campus icon Mike “the Mailman” Herr, Onward State managing editor emeritus Kevin Horne, and Nittany Valley Society president Chris Buchignani. Along with a rotating cast of characters from around State College and across Nittany Nation, the guys focus on the stories, issues, and personalities surrounding the Blue and White fan experience.
The Obligatory PSU Podcast delivers fun and insightful commentary on the teams, University, and place that are beloved by many thousands of students, alumni, and fans. There’s no pretense of objectivity or “journalistic” distance here; these guys are here because they care, and their Penn State knowledge and love shine through in every installment. The goal is to touch on a broad variety of topics relating to the Nittany Lions in conversations that are frequently funny and occasionally profound, all while enjoying a few (or more) adult beverages. If you’ve got Penn State in your blood, you’ll enjoy sharing the journey with us.

Can’t get enough!
This is my absolute favorite Penn State podcast. Notice I did not say, Penn State *Football* podcast. Don’t get me wrong, these guys cover plenty of Penn State football, but what separates them from the pack and what they do better than anyone else is capture the essence of the overall Penn State experience. When I listen, I feel like I’m transported back to State College, hanging out with fellow alumni and Mike the Mailman reminiscing about the good old days in Happy Valley. I mean, who doesn’t love Mike the Mailman? The stories they all share are wonderful and each of them bring their own unique perspective to all things PSU past and present, although the curmudgeon Kevin Horne could probably use a hug or two. It’s a pleasure to listen to these guys, I wish they did more. So grab your pen and your pencil.. this podcast is a must for all true blue Penn Staters out there. ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️
These geezers are good
I love the sassy back and forth rhetoric these four display on television. I’d guess they are friends when the cameras turn off as well. You can just tell from their witty football-laced banter. If you’re jonesing for some good Penn State talk especially if you don’t live in the area, nothing is better than cracking open your favorite brew and listening to these guys and drinking along with them. I feel like I’m back with my college buddies BSing along with them.
Love it
I could listen to Brandon give his insight all day. Great show and the guys have a great chemistry. The passion they have for the school comes through the speakers. WeAre
