Anchored by the Noles247 Podcast with Brendan Sonnone, Chris Nee, and Zach Blostein, this network dives deep into the world of Florida State football. You'll hear their honest, sometimes brutally straightforward, analysis on everything from Saturday's game film to the latest recruiting trails and offseason developments. But it's not all Xs and Os; the chemistry between the hosts brings a genuine, often humorous, perspective that feels less like a formal broadcast and more like pulling up a chair with friends who really know their stuff. This podcast, part of the wider 247Sports family, understands that following a program is about the culture and the characters as much as the scoreboard.

It’s that blend of insider knowledge and relatable banter that keeps the conversation going long after the final whistle.
