The start of fall camp meant the return of the Dispatch’s Buckeyextra podcast, featuring the paper’s two Ohio State football writers, Tim May and Ken Gordon. A new ‘cast showed up last night, and we’ll probably see one more before they pick up a weekly schedule once the season starts.
I wanted to mention the podcast here, because Ken and Tim do a nice job with it for a couple of old-media dinosaurs*. Tim has been covering the team for years, is a native of Alabama and tosses around folksy Southernisms a little like John Cooper used to (although my sense is that much of that schtick is done ironically — and at least Tim understands the importance of the Michigan game). And I actually went to school with Ken — I think he had started at The Post the same year I began my Army vacation — and he does a nice job on the mic as well. Also, he’s already started hassling Tim about ‘Bama’s national title, and I’d bet that’ll continue through the season.
There are a couple of ways you can get to the podcasts: you can listen at the Dispatch’s podcast page or you can download them from iTunes and listen in the car as you pass dozens of Steelers bumper stickers on your way to work.
OK. Maybe that’s just me.
*That’s a joke only I am allowed to make, boys and girls.
