“Our goal is to build a top-notch slate of programming for all football fans."
"By entering this space, we aim to connect with our audience on a deeper level, build a community around our content, and explore new avenues for creativity and innovation."
"Blue Wire is offering individual investors the opportunity to join our movement. Independent podcasters are building thriving content businesses, and our infrastructure can support this explosive growth."
"We’re excited to bring Better Collective’s best-in-class content and podcasts to the Blue Wire Network and work with a partner that understands the modern sports media and gaming space."
"All these shows have a track record, and they were able to negotiate ownership of the RSS feed, so they're bringing that with them."
"American Prodigy means a lot to me. We have some incredible interviews and we’ve partnered with Blue Wire to craft narrative content about the journey to greatness of some NFL legends."
"Outside of ESPN and NFL Network, we felt like Blue Wire had some of the best coverage of the NFL Draft, and we couldn't have pulled it off without the studio."
"This is an open PSA to other newspaper sports sections. We can make more money for your podcasts then you currently can. We can provide cross-promotions in other markets. Let's talk."
"To me, it's all about making a guest comfortable and opening up and not give those canned answers we've delivered a thousand times in interviews as athletes or entertainers."
Blackmon will host "Upsets and Underdogs," while Fann and Bellofatto will host "Bet to Wynn."
"Giving student-athletes the tools to be successful is our mission, and this puts the opportunity for them to pursue podcasts compliantly at their fingertips."
"We're looking for both intimacy and a fan's perspective. Where is the personal connection between host and subject? How are we thinking about a story or athlete in a different way?"
"We hear so much about the prospects' physical attributes, but not enough about their personality and character. I find myself really investing in the players I get to know, and I don't think I'm alone."
"Blue Wire to this date has been kind of a regional brand; we now have a place to call home."
Davis will also launch his own podcast company, Silc, on Blue Wire's network.
