Pod-Alization: New Sports Network; A Dating Podcast?; There Are Still Pen Pals

New sports podcast network called Inflection announced

  iHeartMedia, well-known sports journalist Michael Smith and veteran entertainment attorney Terrence Williams, announced the Inflection Network, a new, sports podcast network. Inflection will debut with season three of listener favorite “Comeback Stories” beginning this week, with new originals joining the slate soon.

Later this month, Inflection Network will debut a new original fantasy football podcast: “Michael Smith presents … The Dynasty Exchange.” Hosted by dynasty diehards Dylan Egloff, Davis Nuaimi and Josh Walsh, the show will also feature regular appearances from longtime football analyst and fantasy football legend Smith. 

With new episodes available every Tuesday and Friday, “Michael Smith presents … The Dynasty Exchange” will deliver dynasty team owners the fantasy football insight, tips and strategies they need to stay ahead of the game when it comes to building and sustaining perennial championship contenders.

I know I need Smith's help with my fantasy football team. My team has been so bad, every other team in the league can't wait to play me.

Will Ferrell’s Big Money Players Network (BMP) welcomes “The Pen Pals Podcast” to the iHeartPodcast Network, with all new and previous episodes available on the iHeartRadio app and podcast platforms everywhere.

“The Pen Pals Podcast” has hosts Rory Scovel and Daniel Van Kirk responding to the letters listeners send them on topics ranging from free will to freeway etiquette, from mental health to manatees; and so much more. These letters could be seeking advice, telling a story or simply venting – Scovel and Van Kirk are ready for whatever listeners throw at them.

The duo also welcomes an array of celebrity guests to talk through listener letters, including Will Ferrell, Conan O’Brien, Mandy Moore, Rose Byrne and many more. The latest episode features Nick Kroll, in which he reads a letter about his connection to his baby-to-be. The show’s next episode will feature Sarah Silverman.

  Daniel Van Kirk is a stand-up comedian from Rochelle, Illinois. His album, "Thanks Diane" debuted at #1 on Apple Music, and he's been named a “Comic To Watch” by Comedy Central and one of JFL’s 42 in Toronto.
