A sports podcast is set to premiere featuring former ESPN host and commentator Mike Golic Sr. and Meadowlark Media personality Jessica Smetana (who formerly worked for Sports Illlustrated). They will cohost an hourlong weekly podcast for DraftKings Sportsbook.
There is no official release date, but the podcast is set to begin sometime in the spring. There will be special guests on the podcast, while they cover sports and cultural topics in the news.
Golic consistently tweets about the sports betting app, specifically Sundays when he’s making football bets. He said DraftKings reached out to him about this opportunity based on his tweets.
“I’m excited to do a podcast with DraftKings,” Golic said, via Variety. “DraftKings is one of the top players in this game. … I think about where gambling is going to be in the next few years, and I think it’s great that DraftKings is growing its content.”
Golic also hinted that the deal is a multiyear contract.
Golic has yet to tweet about his new gig. Golic left ESPN after two decades in radio at the company. He has kept busy since his departure, taking on various media and radio gigs, such as a Monday NFL show with ProFootballTalk. He has also appeared on Meadowlark Media properties since his departure from ESPN.
Smetana tweeted a GIF of Mike Tomlin blowing a kiss, following the news.
Smetana is best known for her work on The Dan Le Batard Show With Stugotz.
