Pod for Life: A show about Tennessee football
By The Athletic
On Pod For Life, you’ll hear insight from behind the scenes of Tennessee’s program, plus interviews and thoughts on what you saw on the field on Saturday. Tennessee writer David Ubben and Nashville columnist Joe Rexrode will be talking Vols every week, taking you inside the program and probably getting sidetracked by any number of tangents. Also, David will return with a 'PFL' subscribers-only show in the middle of the week that will feature a rotating set of special co-hosts.
