Exciting announcement

| | Comments (6) |

Hey guys,

Sorry I was MIA today, had some office work to attend to, and a rather important lunch meeting.

Barring any unforeseen setback, the Inside UCLA podcast will start up on Tuesday for UCLA/USC week with my new cohost...former UCLA starting quarterback Ben Olson.

Ben, who had an injury-plagued career for the Bruins, will provide fantastic insight directly from the mind of a former player, one who is still very connected to the UCLA scene. Ben and I will talk UCLA football and hoops for 30 minutes, with an interview or two sprinkled in. This first show, scheduled to tape on Tuesday, will be available here on the blog, on the LA Daily News Web site, Dailynews.com, and on iTunes. That's right, you can hear my beautiful voice while you run or shop or drive.

The following week, we're going to try to answer your calls live on the air, but either way, we'll provide a call-in number and a specific time to call in.

After working the Q&A and in-game chat into the blog, I'm very excited for this next step.

Thanks, and look forward to hearing from you,
Jon

Great news, Jon (and Ben).

Ben was definitely injury prone, but he was an extremely classy guy the two or three times I ran into him. Hopefully this will be a great chance for him to start his own broadcasting career.

I'll definitely look for it on iTunes or on this blog.

This is great. I think Big Ben will be terrific at this. Can't wait. Good go, Jon.

Do you mind if I ask you who won the Pick-the-Score contest for the WSU game? I've been watching the blog for an announcement but haven't noticed one.
