Tony Reali Launches New Sports Culture Podcast

Real Deal with Tony Reali

iHeartPodcasts and Real Ones Media have launched "REAL DEAL with Tony Reali," a new weekly sports culture podcast that explores the iconic moments that continue to shape sports long after the final whistle. Hosted by longtime ESPN personality Tony Reali, the podcast debuts July 14, with new episodes released every Tuesday.

Each episode centers on a memorable sports moment-whether a play, photograph, clip or legendary figure-and uses it as a starting point for conversations about its lasting impact on sports and popular culture.

The series features interviews with athletes, broadcasters, comedians, journalists, superfans, creators and others connected to the featured moments. Through humor, nostalgia and storytelling, Reali and his guests revisit the events, uncover behind-the-scenes perspectives and examine why they continue to resonate with fans years or even decades later.

Unlike traditional sports debate or recap shows, "REAL DEAL" focuses on the emotions, memories and cultural significance of unforgettable moments in sports history.

"REAL DEAL with Tony Reali" is distributed by iHeartPodcasts and is available on the iHeartRadio app and all major podcast platforms.
