Welcome to a new season of The Football Letter Live.
Tune in each week for Nittany Lion insight, memorable stories, video highlights, and so much more. Join co-hosts Paul Clifford and John Patishnock, as you'll hear from lettermen, alumni volunteers, and Penn Staters who share your passion and enthusiasm for Dear Old State. They'll share behind-the-scenes stories that highlight why Penn State football is so special, both on and off the field.
Registration is free and open to everyone, and you can register for the entire season online. Additional guests will be added in the coming weeks, and we’ll share those details as they’re available.
The show will air weekly at 7 p.m. Thursday, from Sept. 2 to Nov. 18, with a Tuesday afternoon show set for noon Nov. 23, the week of Thanksgiving. A bowl preview show is also scheduled for Thursday, Dec. 9. By registering, you’ll receive a link each week for the show, which will air live on YouTube and Facebook and also be available to watch afterward on both platforms. You can share questions and shoutouts either when you register or during the show, and we'll get to as many as we can each week.
