LOS ANGELES, September 24, 2026 — FOX Sports Radio announced today the launch of “College Football with Stugotz & The Bear.” The new show debuts Friday, September 25, 2026, with iHeartPodcasts. Listen to the trailer HERE.

“College Football with Stugotz & The Bear” is a twice-weekly celebration of everything that makes college football great. From legendary rivalries and iconic venues to star players, game-day traditions and can't-miss tailgate food, multiplatform sports personality Jon “Stugotz” Weiner delivers his signature blend of passion, humor and uniquely entertaining takes on the sport he loves. 

Joined by FOX Sports personality, veteran college football analyst and sports betting expert Chris “The Bear” Fallica, the duo will take listeners on a fun, fast-paced ride through the biggest stories and best moments in college football.

“They asked me to host a college football podcast, so I did the smart thing and brought along my friend who actually knows college football,” said Stugotz. “How ’bout that?!”

“College football brings out the most passionate fans and opinions in sports,” said Fallica. “Who thought giving Stugotz a voice here would be a good idea? I promise to keep him in line.”

Stugotz signed a long-term, multiplatform partnership with iHeartMedia in December 2025, resulting in the launch of the national weekday show “Stugotz and Company LIVE!” on FOX Sports Radio and the creation of the Stugotz Podcast Network with iHeartPodcasts. “College Football with Stugotz & The Bear” joins a growing slate of programming across the network, including “Stugotz and Company,” “God Bless Football,” and “With Stugotz & Hochman.”

“College Football with Stugotz & The Bear” is distributed by iHeartPodcasts. New episodes will be published Mondays and Fridays throughout football season and will be available on the iHeartRadio app and everywhere podcasts are heard. Visit iHeart.com/apps to download iHeartRadio and listen on your favorite device. Full video episodes will also be available on iHeart and Stugotz’s YouTube channel.
