Travis Kelce - English
Travis and Jason Kelce have done just about everything you can do on a football field-Super Bowl wins, Pro Bowl nods, All-Pro honors. But their latest run of success has little to do with blocking schemes or touchdown spikes.
Instead, it’s their voices doing the heavy lifting. The brothers’ podcast, New Heights, has become a sports and entertainment powerhouse since its launch in September 2022. With millions of monthly listeners and a dedicated following that stretches well beyond football fans, the show blends unfiltered NFL talk with sharp humor and brotherly chemistry.
Ben Affleck played in the Super Bowl with Tom Brady… sort of
Now, their growing empire might be heading straight into awards season territory.
Kelces react as Golden Globes add first-ever podcast category
Eagles’ Offseason Moves Post-Super Bowl: Goedert Trade Saga
The Golden Globes will introduce a “Best Podcast” category in 2026, according to Variety. Within hours, the New Heights X account responded with a meme-style post that perfectly captured their excitement-and confidence.
With a track record that includes topping Apple’s podcast charts and nabbing sponsorship deals with brands like State Farm and Amazon, New Heights is more than a side project. It’s a full-blown media force. And the Kelces, ever the competitors, seem ready to go all-in for a trophy that doesn’t come with laces or leather.
In an episode earlier this year, Travis joked that a podcast award “might actually get me to wear a tux.” Jason, never one to miss a chance to needle his younger brother, quipped, “We’ll see if you even get invited.”
Behind the laughs is a serious shot at history. The Kelce brothers could become the first athletes to win a major entertainment award for podcasting. According to The Ringer, podcasts like SmartLess, Armchair Expert, and The Pat McAfee Show are also likely contenders-making the category highly competitive from day one.
And while Travis may be better known right now for catching passes from Patrick Mahomes or appearing alongside Taylor Swift, it’s the mic he shares with Jason that could bring their next major spotlight moment.
With a built-in audience, media savvy, and a genuine connection that fans can’t get enough of, the Kelce brothers aren’t just podcast hosts-they’re redefining what athletes can do in the media world.

Will Howard was ‘hoping in my heart’ Steelers would draft him: They’re ‘gonna get my all, every single day’
Getty Images The wait was definitely worth it for Will Howard. Largely projected as a late Day 2 or early Day 3 pick, the former Ohio State quarterback wasn't selected until the sixth round of the 2025 NFL Draft. While he wasn't thrilled about that, Howard literally wept tears of joy after being drafted by the Steelers, the team he wanted to play for all along. "It just fits with who I am as a person and as a player," Howard said of the Steelers during the first day of Pittsburgh's rookie minicamp. "I've got a lot of connections to Pittsburgh. Coach [Mike Tomlin], I've wanted to play for him. Coach [Tom Arth], he recruited me at Akron, and one of his players from John Carroll coached me at Ohio State last year. So I've got a lot of connection with […]

With Nick Chubb’s return ‘increasingly unlikely,’ Browns shifting focus to rookie RBs
BEREA, Ohio — Rookie minicamp is mostly just a playbook orientation that includes about 70 minutes of football exercises.For the Cleveland Browns, Friday’s official start of rookie camp marked the first day of the team’s new chapter at running back. Jerome Ford is back for now, Nick Chubb is likely moving on and the new kids in town were on the practice field.AdvertisementAs expected, second-round pick Quinshon Judkins was first in every line as the Browns’ rookies went through the practice reps, and fourth-round running back Dylan Sampson was close behind.Judkins will almost certainly become the team’s feature runner at some point during his rookie season. Sampson’s exact role is to be determined, but he’ll be looking to move up the depth chart and potentially win a third-down job. As the Browns drafted two running backs and Ford chose to […]
