Welcome to the Hog Pot. I'm Bo Mattingly, your host and executive producer. We had an amazing year here on the podcast, and to wrap up 2024, we're excited to bring back our most popular episode of the season, the one that Hogg fans listened to more than any other. Back in April, Arkansas basketball made headlines across the nation with the hiring

of John Cala Perry. We had the opportunity to sit down with him on the day he was announced as the

Razorbacks basketball coach and introduced Coach Cal to Razorbank fans. So without further ado,

enjoyed 2024's top hog pod episode, John Caliperi, new man on campus.

I'm going to love my time here too.
