“Football Letter Podcast” features volunteer leaders and lettermen

UNIVERSITY PARK, Pa. – Penn Staters who want to hear behind-the-scenes stories and learn how to cheer on Penn State football during the season can tune in each week to “The Football Letter Podcast,” a weekly series produced by the Alumni Association in the fall .

Episodes feature conversations with inspiring lettermen and volunteer leaders who bring the Alumni Association’s mission to life, as well as Penn Staters who help transform Beaver Stadium into the best atmosphere in college football. Additionally, select episodes will feature historical insights from Football Letter Editor Emeritus John Black ’62 (1976-2021), drawing on his time covering Penn State football.

The volunteer leaders are often chapter presidents or board members. They discuss how their chapters host watch parties and how Penn Staters can get involved in a local chapter throughout the year. One of the 30+ benefits of Alumni Association membership is access to over 250 partner groups, including alumni chapters, many of which host football parties.

Full episodes and video excerpts are available on the Alumni Association season playlist.

Penn Staters who would prefer to listen to the episodes can find them on the Alumni Association podcast page by searching “Football Letter.”

Episodes will be released each week during the season, except when Penn State has a bye. This is the second season of the podcast and follows its previous format as a weekly live show. Football Letter editor John Patishnock Jr. ’05 hosts the podcast, an extension of The Football Letter, another benefit of Alumni Association membership.
