Saints football, three times a week, one question at a time.
Erin Summers hosts a Saints-focused conversation built around guests: former players, beat writers, and national draft analysts. Talk centers on the No. 8 overall pick, building around quarterback Tyler Shuck, and what Brandon Staley's defense needs next.

The New Orleans Saints Podcast is a team-adjacent interview show, presented by Rouse's Market, hosted by Erin Summers. Its promise up front is simple: players, coaches, broadcasters, and writers who cover the NFL daily. The structure barely varies, and that is a feature. Summers recaps where things stand, asks one clear question, then stays out of the way while the guest answers at length. Recent episodes sit squarely in draft season. The pick is eighth overall, the draft runs April 23-26, and the organizing question is how to build around quarterback Tyler Shuck after his play became the storyline of the back half of last season. Former linebacker and Super Bowl champ Scott Shanle takes the defensive side, arguing that free agency signings freed the team to go either direction at No. 8 and that the previous draft filled almost everything except a young edge rusher to develop behind Chase Young, Granderson, and Cam Jordan. Luke McCown, a former Saints quarterback, comes at it from the offensive angle, with film breakdowns of prospects posted separately on the team site. Lance Zierlein of NFL Media and Times-Picayune and NOLA.com columnist Jeff Duncan are booked back-to-back so the same question lands twice, once nationally and once locally. Duncan's segment is preceded by Zierlein reminiscing about the food and his years around Tulane, which is the kind of detour the show welcomes. Beat writer Matthew Parris reports from the NFL owners meetings, describing clarity without confirmation: hints rather than answers on Alvin Kamara and Cam Jordan, and encouragement about signing Olave to an extension. The Combine recap brings in ESPN's Matt Miller and NFL Network's Mark Ross, who note that 189 of 320 attendees ran on-field drills, the lowest participation rate mentioned, and explain why they still believe in what the Combine shows. Then there is the episode that shows the show's range. John Silva, named Saints International Fan of the Year, joins from overseas to talk about running the Saints France account on X, hosting the French Quarter podcast, following the team since 2008, and attending three games — two in London, one in New Orleans for his twenty-fifth birthday. He describes meeting Demario Davis, being starstruck, and Davis remembering him the next day. That segment ends looking toward a game in Paris. The show publishes three times per week. Nothing about it is confrontational; the register is conversational, the pacing brisk without rushing, the football vocabulary present but never gatekeeping. Fans who want a steady, informed briefing on their team — and occasionally a reminder that the fan base extends well past New Orleans — are the audience it keeps serving.
Made for: Saints fans who want informed, non-combative football talk from people close to the team, wherever they happen to live. It suits listeners tracking the draft and roster decisions closely, and anyone who likes long guest answers over segment-driven debate.
What sets it apart: Access is the edge: former players, the local beat, and national draft analysts all sit for real conversations rather than soundbites, and the host pairs a national voice with a local one on the same question. It also treats the international fan base as a subject worth an episode, not a footnote.
