My pitch for the first podcast assignment is to do a co-host type of podcast discussing a in-depth preview of the second week in the NFL. My co-host is a good friend of mine, and his favorite hobby is playing, watching and talking about football. We would further discuss each of the sixteen matchups  going into week two and give both of our opinions on who we like and dislike from each team going into each matchup. At the end of each matchup, we would give our prediction on which team would win and if it’s going to be a close game or just a blowout. This podcast would definitely suit a sports audience especially die hard football fans because they want to get hyped up for sunday football and listening to people talking about the NFL, is a great preview to the week. In general, sports is my passion and to be talking about one of my favorite sports with a good friend of mine for a podcast assignment, makes me more anxious to start it already.

The podcast that I found very interesting and listened to is called First Take.  It’s a television show on ESPN and what they cover is put into the podcast that can be found on Spotify. This podcast is intended for people who are interested in sports and want to listen to the co-hosts debate on the hottest takes out right now in the sports world. The style of this podcast is mainly a host with a small panel of experts. Sometimes, there could be a celebrity making a surprise appearance as well on the podcast. I would say this podcast is very popular because the two experts, Stephen A. Smith and Max Kellerman are very popular and their debates are a must listen and laughable  sometimes. It has definitely made positive waves in terms of their popularity because of how deep the panel debates on some of these topics and it’s fun for all people to hear on what they think. Sometimes before the podcast starts, they start with a quick advertisement or two about a company or a website. However, I don’t know how advertisements are distributed for this podcast. You can start from any episode because there isn’t a specific order of topics that they talk about. They just talk about the biggest headlines that have been happening the day before or from the past week itself.
