Two former professional athletes, Lamar Odom and Caitlyn Jenner, are teaming up to launch a podcast titled Keeping Up with Sports.
The two no longer have to keep up with the Kardashians now that they, along with sports podcaster Zach Hirsch, will be launching a sports podcast. Odom, the former NBA player, and Jenner, the former Olympian (formerly known as Bruce Jenner), previously hung out together while the two were on the Kardashian family show Keeping Up With the Kardashians
.Odom is Khloe Kardashian’s ex-husband; they were married from 2009 to 2016. Jenner was married to Kardashian matriarch Kris Jenner from 1991 to 2015.
“Each episode goes beyond the headlines, providing listeners with an entertaining perspective on the personal stories behind the champions, delving into the
highs and lows of being in the spotlight, recounting early struggles on the path to success, and exploring how today’s athletes navigate difficulties along their journeys,” a press release said about the upcoming podcast.Keeping Up with Sports will delve into what it takes to become a professional athlete and how that affects their personal lives as well.
“I know the dialogues we have on ‘Keeping up with Sports’ will emphasize athletes’ unique stories and events in their lives that matter to the sports and entertainment community,” Jenner said in a written statement.
Hirsch, who describes himself as a freelance reporter, audio producer, and co-host of IF ALL ELSE FAILS on his X profile, said, “The three of us play off each other so naturally, and the chemistry brings out the best in all our guests. It’s the next generation of sports shows.”
TMZ reported that legendary boxer Sugar Ray Leonard will be the first guest when the podcast launches. He discusses being sexually abused by one of his trainers.
While no release date has been announced yet, Keeping Up with Sports will be available on Apple Podcasts, Spotify, and other audio platforms.
