It's a packed pod as Iowa running back Kaleb Johnson joins the show fresh off a 206-yard performance against Minnesota. We learn a ton about the Cincinnati-area native, including his early love of baseball, his exploits as a defensive lineman and how a billboard of Derrick Henry helped convince him to play football. He's followed by 1967 Heisman Trophy winner Gary Beban, who catalogues the groovy sports scene of mid-1960s Los Angeles and tells us why January 5, 1965 was such an important date for him. Finally, we shine a light on the tremendous efforts of South Bronx United, as its executive director, Andrew So, joins us and we learn how his organization uses soccer to help underserved communities in the South Bronx.
The Official Heisman Trophy Podcast is available on all your favorite streaming platforms every Wednesday during the college football season.

Intentionally Disturbing
Join me on this podcast as I navigate the murky waters of human behavior, current events, and personal anecdotes through in-depth interviews with incredible people—all served with a generous helping of sarcasm and satire. After years as a forensic and clinical psychologist, I offer a unique interview style and a low tolerance for bullshit, quickly steering conversations toward depth and darkness. I honor the seriousness while also appreciating wit. I’m your guide through the twisted labyrinth of the human psyche, armed with dark humor and biting wit.
