We are very excited to be bringing you the very first edition of the Cardiac Hill Podcast. Our newest staff writer Jesse Irwin has agreed to be our host. You might recognize his voice from Pittsburgh Universities' sports radio - color commentator and recent play-by-play guy for the Pittsburgh Panthers men's basketball team.

Jim Hammett gives his thoughts about the upcoming Little Caesars Bowl Game in which the Panthers will travel to Detroit, Michigan, to take on the Bowling Green Falcons. The game kicks-off at 6:00pm on December, 26th on ESPN. Jesse and Jim also talk about senior defensive tackle Aaron Donald, and Jim talks about what is going on with the current recruiting efforts.

Stephen Gertz talks about the first 12 games of the Pitt hoops season.

Our goal is to post podcasts on a bi-weekly basis, and conduct impromptu ones based on breaking news. We aim to make these informative, entertaining, and relatively short so that there isn't a large time commitment by you, the listener. Please leave us your feedback in the comments section, and be sure to add us on iTunes - search 'Cardiac Hill'.
