Blue Wire has partnered with D’Angelo Russell’s Backyard Podcast, Penny Hardaway’s Two Cents Podcast, Dwight Howard’s Above the Rim with DH12, and Inner Court with Victor Oladipo. The four shows bring a combined 445k YouTube subscribers and 9.2M Instagram followers to Blue Wire’s sports content network.

Hosted by D’Angelo Russell and Logan Linkmeyer, the Backyard Podcast is the hosts’ opportunity to be their authentic selves and share the unfiltered versions of what they’re about on a daily basis. Episodes range from sit-down interviews with Karl-Anthony Towns, to Mic’d up golfing with Devin Booker, to narrating a workout with D’Angelo and Chris Brickley. Blue Wire worked with CAA Basketball on the D’Angelo Russell deal. PrizePicks and Ro are the first two sponsors of Russell’s podcast.

D’Angelo Russell is an impactful player on and off the court. Russell is an NBA Cup Champion, NBA All-Star, and NBA All-Rookie Second Team member who was drafted 2nd overall by the Los Angeles Lakers following his consensus first-team All-American season at Ohio State. In addition to his lead guard role for the Brooklyn Nets, Russell hosts The Backyard Podcast where he takes his hundreds of thousands of fans on an exclusive insider tour of the life of an NBA star. Logan Linkmeyer produces the show in addition to his duties as a host, and is responsible for the excellent quality of The Backyard Podcast no matter where the episodes are shot. Linkmeyer often shares behind-the-scenes insight and more to his engaged Instagram audience of nearly 75,000.

From his iconic playing career to his new chapter in the coaching world, Penny Hardaway covers a wealth of experiences and stories with a guest each week on the Two Cents Podcast. One of the most iconic and unique players of his generation, Penny's influence on the game transcended feats of a basketball player. Entertaining and informative interviews on Two Cents have included prominent basketball figures Nick Van Exel, Draymond Green, Andre Iguodala, Stephen Jackson, and many more.

Above it all without the ball, Dwight Howard elevates the conversations on Above the Rim with DH12 past sports to the game of life. Through authentic storytelling and engaging, transparent, and humorous conversations with no judgements, Dwight’s audience is treated to a unique perspective on the NBA superstar and his guests. Above the Rim with DH12 guests include key NBA figures like Brandon Jennings; Jeanie Buss; and Gilbert Arenas; in addition to non-basketball luminaries like Evander Holyfield.

On The Inner Court, two-time NBA All-Star Victor Oladipo and music executive Nieman Johnson dive into some of the biggest conversations surrounding the league, Victor's basketball journey, and more. Despite being a brand-new podcast launched in February, Inner Court has already welcomed Timbaland and NBA champion Quinn Cook as guests in addition to episodes more focused on Victor’s story.
