The Michigan Insider

Sam Webb, Zach Shaw, Steve Lorenz, Josh Newkirk

Booking Overview

A college sports analysis show focused primarily on Michigan football, recruiting, basketball, and Big Ten competition, with occasional external interviews featuring former players and credentialed opposing-team or beat reporters alongside regular host analysis. Credible pitches include former college athletes, coaches, recruiting analysts, and experienced college-sports journalists with Michigan or Big Ten expertise; booking difficulty is medium because guests need direct subject-matter credibility, though the show regularly uses accessible sports professionals rather than only national celebrities.
