Audacy Podcasts partners with veteran NFL analysts Dan Hanzus and Marc Sessler to handle sales and distribution for their "Heed the Call NFL Podcast." The program will officially join the Audacy portfolio on September 1.

Hanzus and Sessler, widely recognized for helping to shape the modern football podcast space through their longtime work on "Around The NFL," launched "Heed the Call" independently in 2024. The show quickly earned industry recognition, including the 2025 Silver Telly Award for General-Sports and a Cynopsis Sports Media Award for Best New Sports Show.

Four new episodes will continue to be released weekly during the NFL season, available on YouTube and all podcast platforms. The program features the duo's signature mix of candid analysis, humor, and coverage of league-wide storylines, often alongside familiar voices from their earlier work.

"As we say on the pod: 'There are no reverse gears in this tank,'" said Hanzus and Sessler in a joint statement. "This partnership with Audacy puts us in the best possible position to serve and expand our army of Heedonists."

"Dan and Marc are pioneers in sports podcasting and two of the most respected voices in the NFL media landscape," added Leah Reis-Dennis, Head of Podcasts at Audacy. "Their ability to connect with listeners makes this show a powerful opportunity for advertisers and brands to reach NFL fans at scale."

"Heed the Call NFL Podcast" will be available on the Audacy app, YouTube, and all major podcast platforms beginning September 1.
