The Kelce brothers launched the podcast in 2022 with Wave Sports + Entertainment where it became an immediate hit in their respective NFL teams’ cities—Kansas City and Philadelphia.
Following their journey all the way through 2023′s Super Bowl LVII when the Chiefs and Eagles were matched up against each other, the “New Heights” podcast grew to net hundreds of thousands of views per episode.
Among the most popular in the show’s first year was “The Mom & Dad Episode” with parents Ed and Donna, the Super Bowl episode and the Patrick Mahomes episode.
The entertaining banter between the brothers would only soar in the next year.
After the relationship between Travis and Taylor Swift became international gossip in the fall of 2023 and the show flexed its star power muscles by adding guests like Charles Barkley and Andy Reid, the show truly lived up to its name each week, with new heights of viewers seemingly being reached each episode.
The podcast has consistently been ranked as the top sports podcast on Apple and Spotify during the NFL season. It even earned podcast of the year recognitions at the iHeartMedia’s 2024 iHeartPodcast Awards.
“‘New Heights” will continue to be available widely on all podcast services, including Wondery’s various distribution channels and on YouTube,” Variety reported.
“The deal also includes ad-free listening for Wondery+ subscribers, livestreams, and rights to develop, manufacture, license and distribute all merchandise based on ‘New Heights,’ including new consumer products.”
