SiriusXM will celebrate the NFL’s 100th season with a new podcast series that will showcase the NFL’s greatest memories and will air on both SiriusXM and Pandora.
The NFL 100 Greatest podcast is a specially-produced 20-episode series counting down the greatest NFL memories in five categories — Plays, Games, Characters, Game Changers and Teams. Produced in conjunction with NFL Films and voiced by longtime NFL broadcaster James Brown, the podcast is an original audio version of the NFL 100 Greatest series airing on NFL Network. The series will feature hundreds of interviews with celebrities and current and former NFL stars.
Two new podcast episodes will debut each Friday night starting on September 13 at 10:00 pm ET and 11:00 pm ET with episodes focused on the Greatest Plays. New episodes will debut at 11:00 pm ET and midnight ET each Friday thereafter. The podcasts will debut on SiriusXM NFL Radio and be available immediately after on SiriusXM On Demand and on Pandora.
“We couldn’t be more excited to team up with NFL Films to produce this one-of-a-kind podcast series that looks back at the league’s rich history and will be available to both our SiriusXM and Pandora listeners,” said Scott Greenstein, SiriusXM’s Chief Content Officer. “Voiced by the iconic James Brown and featuring memories and commentary from celebrities and NFL greats, this will be a must-listen for anyone who is a fan of the game. SiriusXM NFL Radio has long established itself as a must listen for NFL fans and working with NFL Films we have created this podcast series that meets the top quality of audio content our listeners have come to expect.”
“We are excited to be working with our partner SiriusXM to continue the celebration of our 100th season,” said Ross Ketover, Senior Executive NFL Films. “The NFL 100 Greatest series will give fans an incredible look back at our game’s best moments, and this partnership will allow us to bring these stories to SiriusXM and Pandora listeners.”
“Long before I was involved with the NFL as a broadcaster I was an avid fan of the game, and I’m very proud to celebrate its 100th season by being a part of this series and sharing so many great memories with SiriusXM and Pandora listeners,” said Brown, who has covered the NFL for more than 30 years. “NFL 100 Greatest is a wonderful trip back in time, and NFL fans are going to really enjoy it.”
The NFL 100 Greatest TV series will air every Friday night on NFL Network, with two back-to-back episodes at 8:00 pm ET & 9:00 pm ET across weeks 2-11.
