NFL Draft analyst Daniel Jeremiah is embarking on an exciting new venture by launching a podcast in collaboration with ESPN and Omaha Productions. The show, titled Move the Sticks with Daniel Jeremiah, revives the name he previously used while under the NFL Media umbrella, but this time it will have a fresh feed.
In a statement, Jeremiah expressed his enthusiasm for podcasting, stating, "I’ve fallen in love with podcasting over the last decade. It has become one of my favorite parts of this job." He further emphasized his excitement about partnering with Peyton and Eli Manning at Omaha Productions, noting their ability to blend serious football discussions with a fun atmosphere. Jeremiah aims to focus on roster building, player evaluation, and leadership in his new podcast, indicating that listeners can expect in-depth discussions on these crucial aspects of the game.
The podcast is set to launch on Thursday, September 3, and will air three times a week until May. Move the Sticks will cover a wide range of football topics, including college football, the NFL, and the NFL Draft. Unlike his previous role where he co-hosted with Bucky Brooks on NFL Media, Jeremiah will take on the role of solo host for this new endeavor. The podcast will feature a variety of guests, including coaches, general managers, and analysts from the football world, providing listeners with diverse insights and perspectives.
ESPN and Omaha Productions have already established a successful partnership, producing several other popular podcasts featuring notable hosts such as Brian Windhorst, Scott Van Pelt, Jeff Passan, Greg McElroy, Mina Kimes, and Peter Schrager. This collaboration highlights the growing trend of sports media outlets seeking innovative ways to engage audiences through podcasts.
While Jeremiah's former podcast feed has been retained by the NFL's digital arm, it has been rebranded as NFL News Hub. Earlier this month, there was a brief controversy surrounding the feed when two new shows were uploaded that some listeners speculated might have been AI-hosted. However, an NFL spokesperson clarified that the shows were indeed voiced by real individuals, dispelling any concerns about the authenticity of the content.
As the launch date approaches, fans of football and podcasting alike are eager to see how Jeremiah's Move the Sticks will evolve and what unique insights he will bring to the table. With his extensive knowledge and passion for the sport, the podcast promises to be a valuable resource for anyone interested in the intricacies of football.
