First Season Of ESPN's "30 For 30 Podcasts" Debuts Today

ESPN's "30 for 30 Podcasts" debut today, offering an "inspiring, sports-documentary adrenaline rush in a format that's easy to consume." The franchise spin-off "starts its first season with a look at Reebok's ubiquitous 1992 'Dan and Dave' campaign." The 50-minute story chronicles "how commercial stars and decathletes Dan O'Brien and Dave Johnson became household names ahead of their unpredictable Olympic runs." Also coming up in the five-episode season is the "story behind the bootleg 'Yankees Suck' T-shirts" sold outside Fenway Park (USA TODAY, 6/27). 

ESPN's ad sales team "lined up MINI USA as the presenting sponsor, while Blue Moon, Citi, Blue Apron, Delta Air Lines and ZipRecruiter have also signed on as backers." Custom integrations were "developed for each client by ESPN's CreativeWorks division." Each spot is voiced by "30 for 30" host and Senior Producer Jody Avirgan (ADAGE.com, 6/26).
