ESPN Audio Sets June 3rd Debut For Reunited 'SVP & Russillo' Show As Podcast

Together Again

ESPN AUDIO has announced details of the reunited "SVP & RUSSILLO" show as a podcast, recently mentioned by RYEN RUSSILLO on his solo weekly "THE RUSSILLO SHOW" podcast, with the return of SCOTT VAN PELT and RUSSILLO's partnership set for JUNE 3rd. The show, which aired on ESPN RADIO for six years until VAN PELT's move to host the new midnight SPORTSCENTER in 2015, will post monthly for the first three months and then will go bi-weekly. A two-minute trailer has been posted in advance of the first full episode.

“We just figured, if we are going to talk on the phone for 45 minutes, we might as well record it and make it a podcast,” said VAN PELT.  “We enjoyed our time together on radio, and it’s amazing the loyalty and appetite our listeners still have for us.  I couldn’t be more fired up.”

RUSSILLO said, “It’s been a few years since we stopped doing the show and I’ve always been amazed how many times people come up to me and say how much they still miss it.  It was a daily part of people’s lives.  Even people at ESPN who have different roles and positions today say how much they loved the show.  We both knew we would do something again.  I’m just happy it’s still with ESPN.”

ESPN AUDIO VP, Digital Strategy and Marketing TOM RICKS added, “We’ve been looking to reignite the chemistry and fun SCOTT and RYEN had when on radio together.  They are smart and entertaining and resonated with a loyal fan base who will enjoy them in the format of a podcast.”
