Westwood One launches "The Kurt Angle Show" on Sunday with Olympic gold medalist Kurt Angle and veteran podcast host Conrad Thompson. Angle is a 14-time professional wrestling world champion, with titles collected in WWE, TNA and Japan. He's in both the WWE and TNA/Impact Hall of Fames, a two-time NCAA Division 1 National Champion, and has also won a gold medal in free style wrestling at the 1996 Summer Games.

At every stop in his career, Angle has reached the top of the mountain and now he's taking his "Three I's" - Intensity, Intelligence and Integrity - to the podcast world as he joins host Conrad Thompson to look back at some of the matches, feuds, and moments. "The Kurt Angle Show" will drop each Sunday.

"I'm so excited to be doing The Kurt Angle Show podcast in partnership with Westwood One. I will be talking about my life, my career in Olympic and Pro Wrestling, and my struggles with addiction," said Angle. "Listeners will also hear fascinating stories firsthand from my guests. My hope is this podcast not only inspires but teaches others to not make the mistakes I've made and to go after their own goals and dreams."

"Kurt has long been considered one of the very best performers in the history of the industry but what fascinates me even more is his personal story," added Thompson. "He overcame so much adversity, both in and out of the ring, that his story is unlike anyone else's. This won't just be a 'wrestling podcast.' This will be a very personal look at triumph, tragedy, overcoming the odds, and willing success."
