There's a really solid chance that if you're here, you know two things: we like to make memes and hate on BU.
The Beacon Street Buzz is a Boston College-specific show that is completely student-run under the umbrella of WZBC Sports Radio. Hosted weekly by station directors Giovanni Culotta and Nick Petralia, the Buzz features the loudest BC sports and campus life takes from the crew that will have you questioning why you listen to any other show. We're joined by professional and current BC athletes, as well as present and past Eagles all of whom share hilariously funny and equally interesting stories. For only 30 minutes out of your day, the Buzz provides a much needed break from the many activities that fill the life of a BC student-guaranteed, or your money (that you don't pay us) back.
BC Buzz. By the Buzz. Let's Get Buzzin'.

BC 2026 Football Preview Show
Boston College kicks off its 2026 season Saturday at Cincinnati, and the Eagles look almost nothing like the team that finished 2-10 a year ago. This week we break down the two biggest storylines on campus: a Division II transfer taking over at quarterback, and a defense that finished 123rd nationally looking for answers through the transfer portal.
We start on offense, where D-II transfer Mason McKenzie takes the reins after winning back-to-back GLIAC awards at Saginaw Valley State, running back Evan Dickens arrives from Liberty off a 1,339-yard season, and head coach Bill O'Brien — now calling his own plays — rebuilds his receiver room and offensive line from scratch.
Then we flip to defense, where preseason All-ACC safety KP Price and Massachusetts native Max Tucker anchor a veteran secondary, and newcomers Kris Jones (Georgia) and Bodie Kahoun (Notre Dame) look to fix a pass rush that couldn't get home last season.
We close with a full walk through BC's 12-game 2026 schedule — the October bye week, the marquee home dates, and where the Eagles' realistic wins are hiding.
Kickoff from Nippert Stadium is Saturday at 3:30 PM ET. Subscribe for BC football coverage all season long.
