Two of the top five podcasts on Podtrac’s latest ranker of the most listened-to shows are daily news shows. ESPN will test whether a similarly-styled sports podcast can score as big. ESPN confirms that it will launch The ESPN Daily podcast in early-October. Produced each weekday, ESPN says the show will become “appointment listening” for anyone interested in the world of sports.
“The show will be unlike anything now available in sports, anywhere, with stories, interviews and analysis that only ESPN can provide,” said Andy Tennant, ESPN senior coordinating producer who will run the team producing the new show. “Every day The ESPN Daily will take a deep dive into a specific event or issue in sports, using ESPN’s unmatched resources and deep roster of reporters, producers and commentators.” Tennant already oversees the Outside the Lines and E:60 podcasts.
