KNOXVILLE, Tenn. — “Vol Calls,” the official statewide radio show for the Tennessee Volunteers, kicks off its 2021-22 season at 8 p.m. ET/7 p.m. CT on Wednesday, Aug. 25, on location from the legendary Calhoun’s On the River location in downtown Knoxville.
The one-hour show can be heard on 50-plus radio stations across the state of Tennessee on the Vol Radio Network and all over the world through UTsports.com, the Tennessee Athletics App and SiriusXM.
Tennessee Chancellor Donde Plowman, Vice Chancellor/Director of Athletics Danny White and head baseball coach Tony Vitello are scheduled to appear on Wednesday’s inaugural show, which will also include an interview with head football coach Josh Heupel.
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.
Weather permitting, the show will be held outside each week during the fall on the restaurant’s large outdoor patio deck overlooking the Tennessee River and Neyland Stadium.
Heupel will make his on-site show debut on a special Monday, Aug. 30, edition next week prior to the Vols’ 2021 season-opener versus Bowling Green. That show will begin at 8 p.m. ET/7 p.m. CT.
Calhoun’s On the River returns as the home of “Vol Calls” for the 10th 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 Facebook and Twitter (@calhouns) pages including “Best Seats in the House” for the show, game tickets, hospitality passes and a collection of special signature sauces.
Tickets for the 2021 season-opener and the start of the centennial celebration of Neyland Stadium, Shield-Watkins Field are on sale now at AllVols.com. The Thursday, Sept. 2 kickoff is set for 8 p.m. ET live on SEC Network.
