Kiwi NRL star Justin Horo is the co-host of TAB and ESPN’s new podcast, which aims to serve the growing interest in American sports.
Horo is joined by Josh Reynolds, a fellow rugby league player, on the Hoops & Hits podcast, which provides a detailed by local take on all of the major US sports for fans and punters.
“By leveraging TAB’s exclusive wagering partnerships with the NFL and NBA, and ESPN’s renowned local and US sports coverage, we can keep fans tuned into everything happening, from the NFL to College Football, NBA to WNBA, the NHL, Major League Soccer, UFC and anything in between,” says TAB’s Head of Sponsorship, Events & Sport Content, Kate Waugh.
“Justin’s a huge Green Bay Packers fan and Josh loves the Philadelphia Eagles. They obviously understand professional sport with their backgrounds, but they’re also a lot of fun and huge fans of all US sports.”
Hoops & Hits will launch its debut episode this Wednesday, September 4, in time for the opening week of the new NFL season on September 7.
“As we continue to see NFL fandom grow in the Australian market, we are excited to see TAB, our official wagering partner and ESPN, our NFL broadcast partner, come together to create a US themed sports podcast that supports our efforts to bring NFL closer to our local fans,” said Charlotte Offord, NFL General Manager – Australia and New Zealand.
The ESPN Hoops & Hits – presented by TAB podcast, will be available on Spotify, Apple, Megaphone and all major audio streaming channels.
