The Tailgate Connect® Podcast — College Football, NFL & The Game Day Life

The go-to podcast for college football tailgates, NFL game day culture, and the people who make it legendary. If you live for the parking lot as much as the game, you're in the right place. Every week host Luke Lorick brings you conversations with the tailgaters, hosts, operators, athletes, and personalities who define game day culture across America. Whether it's a 25-year tradition at the University of Texas, a sold-out pregame at SoFi Stadium, or a first-time host figuring out how to run a paid tailgate — we tell the stories that don't make the highlight reel but make the experience unforgettable. We also cover the business side — how to host your own tailgate, how to sell tickets, how to build a community around your setup, and what it really takes to turn a passion into an operation. Powered by Tailgate Connect — the easiest way to find and host tailgate events across the country. New episodes every Thursday a
