The Rich Eisen Podcast Network is expanding its network of sports programs for the Cumulus Podcast Network. Eisen is tag-teaming with actor O’Shea Jackson, Jr. to create the new weekly original podcast, No-Contest Wrestling. Together with co-host TJ Jefferson, the series combines Jackson’s and Jefferson’s unique takes on sports entertainment by interviewing the biggest wrestling stars, going behind the scenes with untold stories from the world of wrestling while covering the past, present, and future of WWE, AEW, and independent promotions.
Jackson is best known known for his starring roles in “Straight Outta Compton,” “Godzilla: King of the Monsters,” “Den of Thieves,” and “Cocaine Bear.” Jefferson can be heard daily on The Rich Eisen Show, where he doubles as an on-air producer and talent for the Emmy-nominated sports and entertainment talk show.
The Rich Eisen Podcast Network also debuts The Jim Jackson Show, an all-new weekly podcast hosted by two-time All-American and 14-year NBA veteran Jim Jackson. The series will cover basketball from the college game to the NBA, sitting down with superstar guests and sharing Jackson’s experience in finance, business, lifestyle, and travel.
“I’ve been in a constant search for new, fresh, thought-provoking, and entertaining voices to add to our growing podcast business, and I’m thrilled to add both O’Shea Jackson, Jr. and Jim Jackson to the roster,” Eisen said in the announcement. “We’ve doubled our number of podcasts. And Jacksons.”
The Cumulus Podcast Network distributes, markets, and monetizes all existing and forthcoming podcasts from the Rich Eisen Podcast Network under a deal he reached with the company last year. The Rich Eisen Podcast Network also includes the flagship podcast, The Rich Eisen Show, Overreaction Monday, and What The Football with Suzy Shuster and Amy Trask. Eisen also hosts the pregame and halftime shows for Westwood One’s syndicated Monday Night Football coverage and anchors “The Rich Eisen Show,” also syndicated by Westwood One for national radio.
