What are your favorite MSU podcasts? Some have come and gone through the years and some have stuck around. Here are the ones I know of at the moment. If someone posts more that I'm unaware of I'll update it as well. (links open in Spotify or other player). But which are your top 3 "must listens"?
Thunder & Lightning: [each week day] We lost the B&B show when Bob left his homeland. Brian Hadad, long time friend of the program and one of the original Six Pack hosts with Joel Coleman. It's the most consistent MSU podcast and is a strange mix of optimism and pessimism... which is probably accurate for MSU fans. Yes, they're both fans who try to be objective as "journalists" too. Generally 30-60 minutes.
The Boneyard: [3x week] Steve Robertson, a long time recruiting analyst turned author/investigator provides insight and commentary on what's going on with the Bulldogs most Mon/Wed/Fri. There is an over-coating of optimism most days, even after the losses. But he's not afraid to call out egregious mistakes when he sees them either. And you get to hear what Steve's family's favorite burgers are at Bulldog Burger Company as well.
The Sky Dogs: [weekly] Matt East & Hank Allen are MSU grads and Weather Dudes who provide their own analysis of MSU sports and also have some friendly banter. And since these guys are professional tv guys their mic technique is on point.
Starkville State of Mind: [weekly] Justin Strawn is a school teacher and fan who likes to talk about MSU sports and is usually a solo show. He's being doing this for quite a while. Generally 30ish minutes.
For Whom The Cowbell Tolls/What The Hail: [sporadic] Another fan talking MSU sports. I don't have much experience with this one.
Hail State Shockwave: [often] Colton Watson and Gavin Logazino have regular conversations about MSU Sports and an occasional guest as well.
Inside Mississippi State Athletics: [almost weekly] It's an official podcast from Leerfield Sports. It's been DawgTalk with Moorhead so far this fall.
Bully Banter: [weekly] From the Commercial Dispatch, Ben Portnoy and Garrick Hodge talk MSU sports from these two journalists' perspective.
Black Dawgs Sports Podcast: [often] This is from the guys from the Black Dawgs Matter Facebook group. They talk what's going on in MSU athletics from their perspective.
Maroon Maniacs: [seems to have stopped?] Don't really know much of this one. They're eight episodes deep right now and started in August but hasn't posted a new show in a month.
Gone but not forgotten are The B&B Show and Brandon Walker's show More Cowbell. Matt Wyatt had a few with Brett Hudson that were sport specific (Dog Pile, PTLTD) that might come back or might not since Brett is covering Bama now. There was also Jake Wimberly's Double Coverage (not my cup of tea. Sounded like Jim Rome with short, staccato sentences and trying to insult listeners). There was Bully Barkline too. Plus Maroon & White Audible which was a Strawn production too.
