Westwood One Launches ''Esports 30 With Kevin Knocke''
RADIO ONLINE | Tuesday, December 17, 2019 |
Cumulus Media's Westwood One launches "Esports 30 with Kevin Knocke," an original podcast covering esports news and in-depth interviews with industry personalities, celebrities, athletes, influencers and enthusiasts. Knocke is a gaming industry veteran, professionally involved in esports for nearly a decade as both an executive and personality, first as a commentator for tournaments and later as a popular event host. Initial episodes have featured Indiana "Froskurinn" Black, Caleb "WavePunk" Simmons and Alberto "Crumbz" Rengifo.
"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 Cumulus Media EVP Marketing and Westwood One President Suzanne Grimes. "He's a relatable expert offering a unique blend of interviews and honest discourse on what's happening behind the scenes."
In addition to breaking down the news and business side of esports, Esports 30 with Kevin Knocke offers a look at cross-industry connections -- such as the relationship between gaming and mental health, as well as the crossroads of esports and fashion. New episodes are available every Tuesday.
