What They’re Saying:

Justin Craig, ESPN Vice President of Digital & Audio Production: “College football is all about passion, tradition and community. We’re thrilled to bring that energy directly to fans every weekend with ESPN Radio’s College Football Tailgate. Amber and Jonathan are the perfect voices to capture the excitement on campus, and this tour allows us to not only showcase the games, but also connect with the next generation of fans and broadcasters in a truly meaningful way."
Jonathan Zazlow, Radio Host: “A new season of College Football Tailgate means we’re bringing you the college towns, the campuses, the rivalries, and the tailgates. Getting back in the airstream studio is what’s been missing from my life! There’s no one I’d rather Tailgate with every week than the great Amber Wilson and all of you!"
Amber Wilson, Radio Host: “I’m so excited to be back on the road for College Football Tailgate at the biggest college football matchups around the country. Zaslow and I have been doing radio together for almost a decade, and there’s nothing we’ve done that rivals the fun we have bringing the listener with us to the most passionate fan bases in all of sports!"
