Sports publication Awful Announcing is transforming its unique flavor of reporting, analysis and commentary from written articles to the spoken word.

This week, the outlet launched a new podcast called “Play-By-Play,” which promises to analyze and break down the latest news from the intersection of sports, media and business. The first episode dropped on Wednesday.

The podcast will be hosted by Awful Announcing’s media commentator Brendon Kleen and reporter Ben Axelrod. Kleen previously wrote for Front Office Sports, Uproxx and SB Nation; Axelrod joined Awful Announcing from TEGNA-owned WKYC (Channel 3) in Cleveland, and previously covered sports for Bleach Reporter, Rivals.com and Cox Media Group.

Play-By-Play is available on popular audio platforms like Apple Podcasts, Amazon Music and Spotify. A video version of the show is also available on Awful Announcing’s YouTube channel.

The first episode of Play-By-Play is available to stream below:
