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.

This week's Polk & Kush dives into Alvin Gentry's demise as the Pelicans' head coach, why the decision was made, and how the franchise moves forward. The birth of the Saints season is greeted with an injury to the offensive line, so we feign some shock and set the perspective. All that plus vented fishing shirts, SEC smiles, convention speakers, and all your favorite nonsense.

With the Pelicans swiftly eliminated from the bubble, we discuss what went wrong, what happened to Zion, and how the Pelicans can move forward.

The gods gift us with real basketball but smite us with a half-speed Zion, prompting us to once again affix tin foil hats to figure out what's happening to the Pelicans. The insular SEC is moving to a 10 game schedule while our similarly cloistered lives are broken down in segments -- including a spicy political topic!Kush calls this "episode 9" at the beginning but we promise it's episode 10.
