Scott Van Pelt will join ESPN’s podcast lineup with SVPod. The show debuts Tuesday, Jan. 14. The anchor of late-night’s SportsCenter and a former ESPN Radio host will present a weekly show that will include long-form interviews, commentary, and expanded takes on his “One Big Thing” segment on SportsCenter. In addition, Van Pelt’s co-host for the “Bad Beats” section of SportsCenter, “Stanford” Steve Coughlin, will make appearances. Each episode will run 30-45 minutes.
Tom Ricks, VP, Digital Marketing and Strategy in ESPN Audio, said, “Scott has always had a great connection with his audience, on TV or on radio, which is all the more critical in a podcast format. The audience will enjoy his interview style and his insightful thoughts on the biggest stories and most interesting people in sports.”
Van Pelt, who joined ESPN as a golf reporter in 2001, has hosted his own, personalized edition of SportsCenter at midnight since September 2015.
