In a groundbreaking move that has the sports world buzzing, Ryan Fitzpatrick and Andrew Whitworth have announced that they will be starting a podcast together. The new series, titled “Fitz & Whit,” is set to premiere on October 28th under the Wave Sports + Entertainment network.
Fitzpatrick and Whitworth, who are not only current deskmates on Amazon Prime’s “Thursday Night Football” broadcast but also former NFL teammates, will be recording weekly podcasts on Sunday nights. This podcast will serve as a platform for them to recap the week’s NFL action and delve into whatever else is happening in their lives.
When asked about the inspiration behind the show, both hosts shared their excitement in a media alert. Fitzpatrick expressed, “Whit and I have the best time working on “Thursday Night Football” each week, so it was a no-brainer to do this show together. We are excited to give fans a behind-the-scenes look at our lives, friendship, and maybe even interview some of our fellow athletes. We look forward to working with the team at Wave to bring this show to life each week.”
Whitworth added, “I am excited to make this show with my longtime friend and NFL brother, Ryan Fitzpatrick. We’ve had countless moments on the field and off, and now we get to bring those stories and experiences to fans in a whole new way. Wave continues to be a leader in athlete storytelling, and with their track record of creating standout shows we knew they were the perfect partner to help us share our take on football and life beyond the game.”
