Podcast publisher iHeartMedia and the National Football League have extended their partnership, and are planning to create new podcasts while also continuing to offer existing favorites.
As part of the deal, new original podcasts and NFL Club shows will debut each year, and existing favorites will continue to be available on the NFL Podcast Network.
The first new offering of 2025 is “Lots To Say with Bobby Bones and Matt Cassel.” It will feature conversations between iHeartMedia personality Bobby Bones and former Pro Bowl NFL quarterback Matt Cassel, along with guest celebrity visits.
The partnership led to the creation of the NFL Podcast Network in 2021.
“The NFL Podcast Network continues to grow and capture new audiences, and we’re thrilled to strengthen the successful partnership between iHeart and the NFL with new shows and the addition of more team podcasts,” says Will Pearson, president of iHeartPodcasts.

The NFL Podcast Network also offers such hit podcasts “NFL Daily with Gregg Rosenthal,” “Off the Edge with Cam Jordan” and “The Season with Peter Schrager.”
“Since its launch in 2021, the NFL Podcast Network has delivered NFL fans best-in-class storytelling and podcast content, and we look forward to developing new podcasts and more content with iHeart,” says Brent Lawton, vice president of business development and strategic investments for the NFL.
