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.

It's almost football season and we're ready to gamble on a few overpriced hot dogs at the Superdome while Jameis Winston and Derek Carr tell us about their spirit animal (hint, it's more spiritual than animal). Would Kush bribe a cop? Would New Orleans boot your car on the hottest day in recorded history? Will you read this description? All this and much more on an all new Polk and Kush.

Alvin Kamara gets a 3 game suspension to start the season, the Saints keep finding former pro-bowlers under rocks and giving them one years, Brandon Ingram praises New Orleans and Griff, and the Governor race is the ultimate clown show, with self-pleasuring oafs, bullet proof vest wearing cajuns, and copyright infringement, plus some locals try to stop the one business that wants to come here.

The New Orleans Saints are in the midst of training camp and we give our predictions for the season. Nothing could be easier than winning the worst division in the NFL, but will typical Saints luck stand in their way, or will injuries and a slow and aging defense be their undoing? We discuss this, a trip to North Louisiana, a visit to Galatoire's, and much much more.

We're back to talk about Zion Williamson's surprise appearance on Gil's Arena and just how relatable Zion is now. We may not have higher hopes for his health and conditioning, but he is 1000% more likeable than last season.

Kush becomes the king of Jazz Fest. The Saints have the greatest draft of all-time for a recording breaking 56th year in a row according to local media. The Pelicans don't care if you can watch them or not. People keep leaving Louisiana by the droves.

The Pelicans season is over. Griff speaks and says Zion wasn't cleared to even practice 3 on 3. Kush speaks and gives this season a failing grade. Premium Parking in New Orleans has a very sarcastic name. Oil is raining down on the citizens of Carrollton. LaToya is taking another trip.
