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.

In the Trenches 588 – Jake Guarnera & Mike Lynch – MGoBlue Podcasts with Jon Jansen

We talk offensive line on this week's episode of In the Trenches, presented by Meijer. Jake Guarnera kicks off the episode by discussing his acclimation process to the center position and the potential for the Wolverines' offense in 2026. Then, assistant offensive line coach Mike Lynch stops by around the 13-minute mark to reflect on his unique journey to Ann Arbor and provide some initial thoughts on many of the Wolverines' offensive linemen.See Privacy Policy at https://art19.com/privacy and California Privacy Notice at https://art19.com/privacy#do-not-sell-my-info.
