The Bill and Doug Show: Ohio State Football Talk

by Blue Wire

The Ohio State Buckeyes are the most interesting team in college football, and Doug Lesmerises and Bill Landis love talking ball and having fun with the fans of the defending national champions. Doug and Bill combine for more than three decades of on-the-ground experience covering Ohio State, and they've been talking Buckeyes on podcasts since 2015. On The Bill and Doug Show, the goal is to have a good time, provide insight, look at the big picture of college football, put fans first and fight Southern CFB bias. Thanks for riding with us.

What listeners say

A curated, balanced selection of Apple Podcasts reviews.

Not only does Doug provide the best temperature tests on feelings around Ohio State football, but Bill also provides the best game breakdowns/analyses on the beat. And then you put these two personalities in the same room (so to speak), and you find yourself laughing half the time. It’s the perfect combination of knowledge and entertainment for Buckeye football fans.

Eramisionero · Sep 2026

Bill and Doug have always been my favorite on the osu beat because of their football knowledge, unbiased analysis, and professionalism when it comes to journalism. I can’t recommend these two more. The highest praise that I can give is these two have managed to win the heart of my (TUN graduate) gf who has previously been uninterested in football. Such great hosts with great chemistry. They seem like very genuine down to earth people as well
