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.

The Saints make too many mistakes to hold the Bucs off in New Orleans and we might be seeing a switch at QB sooner than later if Jameis continues to fracture vertebrae. The Pelicans have a Euro MVP on their bench in Willy Hernangomez, and slice into the very long off-season with an open practice! Tulane "shocks" Kansas State, LSU makes a statement in the fourth, and a clown is arrested at Dairy Queen.

The haters have been silenced as Zion signs a 5 year contract extension with no player option, and that isn't the only big news as the Pelicans have rumblings regarding a trade for Kevin Durant. Is it worth the risk? Is there a risk? Is it possible? We'll take a dive into all scenarios + wacky local news stories like LaToya partying at Essence, the city misspelling its own name in front of the Vice President, and much more.Polk & Kush is sponsored by Ale on Oak at 8124 Oak Street, with over 30 beers on tap, a full menu, and a patio showing all the local sports and a full MLB package.
