DBL Down Media has announced a partnership with college football podcast "The OG Kickoff," expanding its lineup of sports content focused on the Southeastern Conference.

Effective April 1, "The OG Kickoff," hosted by Connor O'Gara and Will Ogburn, joins the DBL Down Media network. The show, known for its in-depth SEC football coverage and commentary, will now be distributed alongside the company's flagship platform, "The Next Round."

"The Next Round," hosted by Lance Taylor, Ryan Brown and Jim Dunaway, streams daily and reaches an estimated 200,000 to 300,000 people per day across platforms, with a monthly audience exceeding 1 million unique users. The hosts previously spent more than a decade on WJOX's "The Roundtable" before launching DBL Down Media in 2021.

"The OG Kickoff" focuses on year-round SEC football analysis, covering major storylines, players and coaches across the conference. Under the new partnership, the podcast will be available on The Next Round's YouTube channel and major podcast platforms, with new episodes released Tuesdays and Fridays.

Ryan Brown said O'Gara has built a strong reputation among college football audiences and noted his previous guest appearances on "The Next Round" have resonated with listeners.

O'Gara and Ogburn said joining DBL Down Media provides an opportunity to expand their reach and align with a platform focused on college football coverage.
