Tennessee Athletics is debuting its first official podcast series next week, with the first episode of “A Host of Volunteers” available on Friday, Oct. 4.

Hosted by Barry Rice of VFL Films and Ben Bates of The Vol Network, “A Host of Volunteers” features interviews with football VFLs along with Vol Network archive material. There’s plenty of John Ward play-by-play mixed in with memories enthusiastically shared by the players, coaches and administrators who made history, played in the games or symbolize the memorable moments orange-blooded diehards associate with Tennessee football.

The first of 10 episodes in the podcast’s debut season is titled “When Johnny Comes Marching Home” and spotlights the first year of the Johnny Majors era, Tennessee’s 1977 campaign. Guests in the first episode include Pat Ryan, Pert Jenkins, Eddy Powers and Larry Seivers along with former UT coaches Majors and Bill Battle.

“A Host of Volunteers” provides an audio deep dive into the Tennessee gridiron history books.
