Westwood One announced this week that they have launched a new esports-centric podcast called Esports 30 With Kevin Knocke.

The show will feature, "in-depth interviews with industry personalities, celebrities, athletes, influencers, and enthusiasts." Some of the first personalities they will feature will be Indiana "Froskurinn" Black, Caleb "WavePunk" Simmons, Alberto "Crumbz" Rengifo, and DrLupo. You can check out the first eight episodes of Esports 30 With Kevin Knocke here, as we have some quotes from the announcement below.

"Esports is now big enough that it can't rely on the sunshine and rainbows perspective that it's the 'next big thing' so we need to understand how to develop a sustainable infrastructure for the long term," said Knocke. "I'll be inviting on guests with a broad viewpoint of the industry as a whole as well as game-specific experts who are willing to take an honest look at their game and reflect on improvements needed."

"Kevin has a clear vision, deep-rooted experience, and a genuine passion for esports," said Suzanne Grimes, EVP Marketing, Cumulus Media and President, Westwood One. "He's a relatable expert offering a unique blend of interviews and honest discourse on what's happening behind the scenes."
