    15:26||Season 2, Ep. 2
    We had a lot of fun with this one. For our second episode of the second season, we went a little longer than 10 minutes. But once you see who our guest is, you'll understand why- it's hard to cut off the convo when you're laughing it up with Rob Jay. Currently serving as the Assistant Athletic Director for Broadcasting and Video Services, Jackson residents have most certainly either heard Rob as he calls Jackson State football games or seen Rob during one of his many tenures as an on-camera personality. Here, we chat all things Jackson State- from the soccer team to the band.Hosted and produced by MPB's Lacey Alexander.

    Season 2 is here, and where better to kick things off than with a massive sporting event that captured the attention of supporters (and not-supporters) world-wide.

But all of that is what makes it fun!Hosted and produced by MPB's Lacey Alexander.
