This is an IHeart podcast.

And welcome in, like kick on the air. It is Thursday night. It's August 5th already,

the year of our Lord, 2021. We've talked a lot about conference realignment. We've talked a lot about teams going here and teams going there. None of it tonight. You have my word and I have to format right in my hand. Wall to wall to college football circa 2021. Camps are opening all over the place. We are going to the SEC. We're going to all the conferences tonight.

I mean, I am making sure that we're touching every part of the country tonight.

And we are talking about everything from biggest questions in various conferences to fall camp,

sort of questions slash things to focus on in case you can't tell the energy level is ramped up a little bit around here because it is football season.

There are actual camps opening, which means unlike months past, we get feedback.

We're about to have whispers and intel segments for you starting next week,

where we are getting real time from people on the ground feedback on different camps.

And I'm so excited to talk

about that because I feel that number one, a renaissance year of college football is upon us. And

number two, there's a lot more balance, even at the top of the sport at the beginning of this year,

than the preview magazine culture is leading you to believe. I've been asked by a lot of you. This is the best question you could ever be asked. We have late kick live. You're watching it right now if you're on YouTube. We have it on YouTube. And of course, we have the late kick podcast. Now, I know some of you are new to the format, and some of you are just coming back because you chose to exercise your right to have an off-season. We didn't. We've been here the whole time. But if you're coming back,

let me just remind you how this works. We do late kick live, starting next week. We'll be Sunday, Tuesday, Thursday night, 8 Eastern 7 Central. If you miss the live show, you got the replay on the YouTube channel, and we cut up all those videos for you. But also, we have the late kick

podcast. And some of you have actually started asking me, what helps more? Would you rather me

consume the show on YouTube or consume the show in podcast? The answer is thank you. That's not an

answer. That's a response. But the answer is both, because there are products that you're going to get

on the YouTube channel that you don't

get in podcast. There are two mailbags per week that you get in the podcast that you don't get on

Late Kick Live. And then here's the kicker. You're about to start getting a whole lot of stuff

on Instagram and Twitter at Late Kick Josh that you don't get on either the podcast nor YouTube.

So make sure you're following everywhere.
