Author: Richard Branch/Maxwell Brusky Language: English Episodes: 100
For fans whose Saturdays revolve around Camp Randall Stadium, BuckAround: A Wisconsin Badgers Football Podcast offers a deep, dedicated conversation that goes beyond the final score. Hosts Richard Branch and Maxwell Brusky bring the perspective of longtime followers, having built this audio show from the ground up as an extension of their popular blog, which has been part of the fan conversation since 2012. This isn't a general sports show that occasionally glances at the Big Ten; it's a focused analysis for those who live and breathe the cardinal and white. Each episode digs into the specifics of Wisconsin football-the evolving offensive line, defensive schemes, recruiting landscapes, and the traditions that define the program. You'll hear breakdowns of game strategy, player development, and the broader context of the season as it unfolds. The tone is informed and passionate, mirroring the community of listeners who tune in. It’s designed for the dedicated supporter who analyzes depth charts, remembers pivotal plays from seasons past, and truly can never get enough of Bucky. This podcast provides that year-round connection, turning the obsessions of die-hard Badger fans into substantive, engaging dialogue.
