Lemonada Media, in partnership with Charles Barkley and Marc Perman's Round Mound Media and Justin Hartley's ChangeUp Productions, has announced a new original audio and video podcast titled "So U Think U Can Sports?" The 10-episode series will debut this fall as part of Lemonada's expanding lineup of podcasts.

Created and hosted by writer and comedian Eliot Glazer -- known for his work on the Comedy Central series Broad City -- the show takes a comedic approach to sports. Each episode will feature Glazer, who openly admits he knows little about sports, interviewing athletes, coaches, owners, broadcasters, and sports writers, including Barkley, as he attempts to understand the culture and appeal of sports.

Lemonada Media CEO Stephanie Wittels Wachs said the concept immediately stood out for its comedic potential, noting the pairing of sports and comedy as a natural fit for the network's programming.

Glazer said he was grateful for the opportunity to collaborate with Lemonada and the production partners on the series, joking that the project has already introduced him to a variety of sports metaphors.

Justin Hartley, whose ChangeUp Productions is making its first move into podcasting with the project, said the combination of sports and comedy makes Glazer an ideal host to bridge the two worlds.

Marc Perman, co-founder of Round Mound Media, said the show offers a fresh perspective on sports commentary by centering it around someone with "an almost shocking lack of sports knowledge."

Producers for the series include Hartley, Julianna LaRosa and Sofia Pernas for ChangeUp Productions; Barkley and Perman for Round Mound Media; Land Romo; and Glazer.

"So U Think U Can Sports?" will be released weekly on YouTube and major podcast platforms. The podcast is a production of Charles Barkley's Round Mound Media, Justin Hartley's ChangeUp Productions, and Lemonada Media.
