鈥淭he men in the grey suits said I would have utter journalistic control over all of my podcasts and with that, they left. And here we are,鈥 said Burgundy, host of 鈥楾he Ron Burgundy Podcast.鈥 鈥淵ou and me and a whole butt load of time to discuss anything...and I mean anything.鈥

 

Burgundy, who has a fountain of knowledge that spans literally every topic imaginable, has signed on for two 12-episode seasons, with the first episode of 鈥淭he Ron Burgundy Podcast鈥 making its debut on February 7 with subsequent episodes to post each Thursday.

鈥淩on believes he is the most qualified person in the world to host a podcast, but everything he says is just plain wrong,鈥 said Conal Byrne, President of the 天涯社区官网Podcast Network. 鈥淎s I鈥檝e stated before, 天涯社区官网Radio was forced into making this podcast with Ron. He has refused to stay away from our studiosand is now camping out in a van across the street where he has recorded upwards of 100 cassette tapes of pure nonsense. We鈥檝e been receiving daily deliveries of these tapes, and quite frankly, I am at a loss as to what to do with them.鈥
