Chad Millman left ESPN in September 2017.
The Action Network has teamed up with Cadence13 to announce a new sports betting related podcast network: Epic Sports Betting. Sports fans around the world will now be able to look forward to the sports betting advice from “The Favorites” podcast.
The Epic Sports Betting podcast is the latest entry into the US sports gambling industry, which is expanding beyond Nevada in the wake of a landmark Supreme Court decision. On May 14, the U.S. Supreme court ruled that the PAPSA sports betting law was unconstitutional. The US Congress could either ban sports betting in 50 states or pass 50-state regulations, but could do nothing in between.
Since then, a variety of US and international gaming companies have signed partnership deals to work on sportsbook related ventures. Vegas Sports & Information Network (VSiN) signed with the New York Post to produce sports betting related columns 7 days a week.
FanDuel agreed to produce sports betting related content for TVG and TVG2, in a deal with Paddy Power-Betfair. The NBA and MGM Resorts signed a deal to share basketball data. Those are just a few of the major deals reached since the May 2018 Supreme Court ruling.
Action Network & Cadence13 Podcasts
The new podcast content kicks off September 5 and will release new episodes three times a week, Monday, Wednesday and Friday. The show will be targeting fans of sports gambling and fantasy leagues.
The podcasts will feature talent from the Action Network site, including the sites Chief Content Officer and best-selling author Chad Millman, with ex-NFL lineman Geoff Schwartz, former Barstools Sports gambling expert BlackJack Fletcher, former MLB All-Star catcher Paul Loduca, NBA Twitter personality and “Buckets” podcast co-host Rod “World Wide Wob” Perez.
Famed bookmaker Bob Scucci also appears on the podcasts.

They’ve been a pioneer in this space, which we know is incredibly powerful when it comes to entertaining, informing and communicating with our audience.”
On Mondays, Chad joins Paul and Geoff to discuss building a nine-team parlay. Wednesday, it is Chad and Scucci to talk about what games the sharps are on, and on Friday, Chad, and BlackJack Fletcher choose five games for the Westgate SuperContest.
