KNOXVILLE, Tenn. – “Vol Calls,” the official statewide radio show for the Tennessee Volunteers, kicks off its 2024-25 season on Wednesday, Aug. 21, on location from the legendary Calhoun’s On the River location in downtown Knoxville.
The one-hour show airs at 8 p.m. ET/7 p.m. CT across the state of Tennessee on Vol Network affiliates.
Bob Kesling, the voice of the Tennessee Volunteers and UT’s director of broadcasting, serves as the show’s host and is joined by Vol Network veteran Brent Hubbs to answer questions and provide the latest news and information on Tennessee Athletics. The Vol Network’s Andy Brock lines up questions on-site from fans in attendance.
The show will be held outside each week during the fall on the restaurant’s massive, covered outdoor deck. Overlooking the Tennessee River, “The Deck” at Calhoun’s provides a unique outdoor dining and show experience with big-screen televisions, ceiling fans and a roof that fully protects fans from the elements.
Head coach Josh Heupel will make his on-site show debut on Wednesday, Aug. 28 prior to UT’s season opener versus Chattanooga on Aug. 31. Assistant coaches and other special guests will be part of the weekly lineup. A recorded interview with Heupel airs this week.
Calhoun’s On the River returns as the home of “Vol Calls” for the 13th straight season. Famous for its award-winning ribs, BBQ and other delicious Southern dishes, Calhoun’s is one of Tennessee’s most popular restaurant destinations. The restaurant will give away special prizes each week during football season through its Instagram channel – @calhounstn – including “Best Seats in the House” for the show, game tickets, hospitality passes and a collection of special signature sauces.
