NEW YORK, NY and INGLEWOOD, CA — The National Football League and iHeartMedia have announced an ambitious fall programming lineup for the NFL Podcast Network, featuring two new shows and an expanded roster of returning favorites as the platform enters its fifth season.
New Programming Additions Drive Growth
The NFL Podcast Network is adding two strategic shows designed to capture different segments of the football audience:
Late-Round Fantasy Football Podcast with JJ Zachariason brings award-winning fantasy analysis to the network, offering fans four episodes weekly focused on identifying breakout candidates, sleepers, and potential busts through a data-driven approach.
NFL Cover Zero with Matt Jones and Drew Franklin launched earlier this week to immediate success, debuting in the Top 5 Sports shows and Top 25 overall on Apple Podcast rankings. The Monday and Thursday show features the Kentucky Sports Radio personalities discussing on-field and off-field storylines.
Returning Favorites Expand Their Reach
Several established shows are returning with enhanced formats and expanded roles:
NFL Daily continues under host Gregg Rosenthal’s leadership, now featuring Jourdan Rodrigue in an expanded capacity alongside regular contributors Colleen Wolfe, Patrick Claybon, Steve Wyche, Cynthia Frelund, and Nick Shook. The show maintains its Sunday-Friday schedule throughout the season.
Lots to Say with Bobby Bones and Matt Cassel enters its first full season after a successful playoff launch, while Off the Edge with Cam Jordan returns for a third season as the network’s only show hosted by an active NFL player.
