DraftKings Network to launch women-led sports show this summer
Good Follow to debut on June 7 as operator and podcast partner Meadowlark Media bolster lineup with fresh weekly program
DraftKings Network has announced the launch of a new women-led sports show, Good Follow, through its ongoing deal with the group’s podcast partner Meadowlark Media.
Debuting on June 7 and hosted by digital sports host and creator Megan Reyes, Good Follow will be a one-hour weekly program providing the latest in women’s sports through interviews and discussions.
Reyes will be joined by Texan Southern University golfer Logan Hackett as well as Meadowlark’s Lucy Rohden, who features on the DraftKings Network’s flagship Dan Le Batard Show with Stugotz.
Despite starting in June, Good Follow’s social media channels went live ahead of the WNBA Draft on April 15, where Caitlyn Clark was selected first overall to Indiana Fever, to provide coverage of the event.
Stacie McCollum, DraftKings VP of content, explained the reason behind the Good Follow launch and highlighted the growing interest in women’s sports.
McCollum said: “Engagement with women’s sports is at an all-time high and we couldn’t be more excited to expand our programming to include a women-centric sports show to our content portfolio.
“At the core, a ‘good follow’ is someone who unapologetically moves culture forward within or adjacent to women’s sports.
“Our approach to this show aligns with growth trends we’re seeing within the space and from our customers as they interact with women’s sports across all our products,” she added.
DraftKings revealed in a statement that it planned to expand its women’s sports offering through “new content, promotions, in-person events, collaborations with athletes and organizations, and more.”
DraftKings and Meadowlark Media previously launched several podcasts and shows in 2022 including hockey’s Too Many Men, F1’s DNF (Did Not Finish), and soccer’s The Cooligans.
