Michael Strahan is getting into the podcast game, co-hosting a new podcast with his SMAC co-founder Constance Schwartz-Morini where they will interview executives, celebrities, “and the unsung heroes behind their success for candid cross-industry conversations about leadership, entrepreneurship, and reinvention.”
The podcast is part of a slate of shows from SMAC, which is launching a podcast network called The Intersection in partnership with Sinclair‘s Amp media. The Intersection is also launching a show featuring Pro Football Hall of Famer Terrell Owens and comedian, writer and producer Chris Spencer where they talk sports, pop culture and other headlines. SMAC will produce its shows, with AMP Media responsible for distribution, ad sales and audience development.
The SMAC shows will join an AMP lineup that already includes The Triple Option with Urban Meyer, Mark Ingram II and Rob Stone, Unfiltered Soccer with Landon Donovan and Tim Howard, Throwbacks with Matt Leinart and Jerry Ferrara, Post Moves with Candace Parker and Aliyah Boston, Cousins with Vince Carter and Tracy McGrady and Style of Play with Julie Ertz and Kealia Watt.
“Building enduring brands and telling compelling stories has always been at the core of SMAC’s mission,“ said April Guidone, COO of SMAC. “Launching a podcast network is a natural evolution of that mission, creating another platform for authentic voices to deepen audience connections, spark meaningful conversations and build communities that resonate across sports, entertainment, and culture. Together with AMP Media, we’re excited to bring that vision to life.”
“SMAC has built an exceptional reputation for developing talent and creating compelling content that resonates with audiences,” added Rob Weisbord, COO and president of local media for Sinclair. “We’re excited to partner with Michael, Constance and the entire SMAC team to connect with fans in meaningful ways and create new opportunities for brands through the power of AMP’s distribution and media platforms.”
The podcast network expands SMAC’s reach, which already has a foothold in scripted and unscripted content, and inked a deal with Boardroom last year.
