Polk and Kush
An absurd look at sports and life in New Orleans. This weekly podcast featuring comedian Andrew Polk and longtime local columnist Scott Kushner covers New Orleans teams with a bend away from stats and boring analysis. Instead they focus on the practical, entertaining side of the Saints, Pelicans, UNO, Tulane, and more.

Kush goes on a few all-time rants about the Saints, the Pelicans, Gayle Benson, the Super Bowl, and maybe even...you???

Kush gives us his Mickey Loomis breakdown in response to the latest laughable dismissal of accountability. The Pelicans start to show signs of life, and Kush is the last man on earth who wants to continue the Zion experiment. Downtown is "under construction" so a bunch of wealthy elites can come experience a Super Bowl with smooth streets.

The Saints get demolished by a barely-there Chiefs team at Arrowhead and lose their Carr in the process. Does Rattler have what it takes to right the ship in a short week against Tampa Bay and the New Orleans return for Sean Payton and the Denver Broncos? No. But we'll watch anyway! The Pelicans have some great players but just have to figure out where they go. Taylor Swift is coming to town!

The Saints season looms and Kush gives his level-headed calm and collected takeaways from training camp and roster cuts. The Pelicans don't have a lot going on right now, but they aren't the Saints and that's good enough to celebrate. Polk records a special and Kush buys every seat in the place (all ten).
