ESPN Audio to Offer New Flagship College Football Podcast

ESPN College Football Podcast

ESPN is launching a new flagship college football podcast, featuring lead analysts Kirk Herbstreit and David Pollack as well as SportsCenter's Kevin Negandhi. Beginning Friday, August 23, the ESPN College Football Podcast, "Herbie & Pollack," will publish three times per week through the season with Negandhi hosting all episodes. Herbstreit will co-host on Mondays and Pollack will do so on Wednesdays and Fridays.

Many of ESPN's best-known college football personalities will join as guests, with weekly segments devoted to the CFP Rankings, the ESPN CFB 150 initiative celebrating the 150th anniversary of college football and predictions with analysis of the games to come each week.

Herbie & Pollack joins "CFB 150: Down & Distance" hosted by Ivan Maisel and the on-demand offering of "Packer and Durham," an audio version of the daily morning show airing on The ACC Network as new entries into ESPN's podcast lineup this fall. In addition, TV's weekday College Football Live can be heard as a podcast.
