Couch and The Rube

Graham Couch and Jason Knick discuss Michigan State and Big Ten football and men’s basketball, Detroit pro sports and the buzz nationally, weekdays from 1:00 to 3:00 p.m. Eastern (10 a.m. - Noon Pacific) on the Spotlight Radio Network + archives on your favorite podcast platform, including iTunes, iHeart, Spotify, Spreaker, YouTube & Facebook Live.

The idea of “Couch and The Rube” is to create a fun, engaging, sometimes thought-provoking all-in-one radio and podcast experience for the Michigan State, Michigan and Detroit sports fan whose assorted interests also might include the outrageous national story, sports gambling and life’s relatable predicaments.

Hosts Graham Couch, sports columnist at the Lansing State Journal, and Jason Knick, “The Rube,” bring you two hours a day of the topics and stories that grab you — often with your input and through insightful interviews with those who know the stories best. They hope you'll be part of their conversation.
