Production

Through his work with Michigan athletics, Brian has expanded his production skills, both as the Producer of a Michigan football podcast and through broadcast “scene setters” for football and men’s basketball.

Brian and Jon Jansen have built the University of Michigan’s podcast channel, MGoBlue Podcasts, from the ground floor. The channel features three consistent programs – In the Trenches (football), Defend the Block (men’s and women’s basketball), and Conqu’ring Heroes (all other sports). In 2021, the podcast feed accumulated more than two million total downloads. The most recent lineup of episodes is available below.
