ESPN has announced a new, seasonal content initiative that will expand the reach of its ESPN podcast offerings. Beginning on Monday, January 29, ESPN2 will televise an ESPN video podcast every weekday from 2-3 p.m. ET. The premiering lineup will include: First Draft, The Hoop Collective, The Lowe Post, The Mina Kimes Show and The Elle Duncan Show.
Mike Foss, ESPN Senior Vice President, Production: “This strategic content initiative provides our ESPN podcasts with a tremendous opportunity for continued growth and audience expansion, while simultaneously lending compelling content to our ESPN2 television lineup. The opening slate of podcasts combine timely, in-season sports – First Draft, The Hoop Collective and The Lowe Post – and high-profile ESPN personalities such as Mina Kimes and Elle Duncan.”
The weekday schedule and show descriptions are below.
- First Draft...The godfather of draft analysis, Mel Kiper Jr., joins tape-grinding do-it-all host Field Yates to break down the top prospects in the coming NFL draft.
- The Hoop Collective...Brian Windhorst is joined by Tim MacMahon, Tim Bontemps, and other ESPN insiders to sort out life in and around the NBA world.
- The Lowe Post..ESPN's Zach Lowe uses his unparalleled combination of reporting, data analysis, and film study to provide a smart but accessible look inside the NBA.
- The Mina Kimes Show featuring Lenny...Mina Kimes combines intense film study with sharp data analysis – plus her trademark humor and insight. She’s joined each episode by a guest from around the league. (This podcast is in partnership with Omaha Productions).
- The Elle Duncan Show...SportsCenter anchors Elle Duncan and Gary Striewski are professionals at talking about sports, but they often end up talking around sports – the drama, gossip, and stories that happen adjacent to the on-field action. They’ll get back on topic eventually. Maybe.
