Show Notes
In this episode of The Hog Pod, we sit down with John George, the iconic voice of Razorback athletics for more than 45 years. From calling women's basketball games on a RadioShack stereo to becoming the PA announcer for Arkansas football, men's basketball, and the SEC Tournament, John shares the unforgettable journey that shaped his legendary career. He reflects on the "adrenaline on steroids" moment he first tried out for the men's job, the pivotal day Nolan Richardson told him to "jazz it up" to match 40 Minutes of Hell, and the biggest game-day moments that still give him goosebumps — from miracle finishes to the electricity of 70,000 fans waiting for kickoff. With humor, humility, and decades of memories, John offers a rare behind-the-mic look at the passion, pressure, and pride that come with being the voice of the Razorbacks.
