 Double Down on Cheer |
Audacy will debut "Double Down on Cheer with Tiki and Traci" on Friday, November 13. The weekly podcast pairs former New York Giants running back and WFAN host Tiki Barber with his wife, nonprofit executive Traci Johnson, for conversations about competitive cheerleading, youth sports and parenting. New episodes will be released Fridays on YouTube and podcast platforms.
Barber and Johnson draw on eight years of experience as parents of All-Star cheerleaders. Their daughters, Brooklyn and Teagan Barber, compete in the sport. The show will cover the demands of travel sports, share stories from competition weekends and feature interviews with sports psychologists, nutritionists and others in the industry.
Nicole "Snooki" Polizzi will be the first guest. Her daughter competes at the same gym as Barber and Johnson's daughters.
"Working with Audacy, we wanted to create a show that pulls back the curtain on competitive cheer and youth sports, celebrates the incredible athletes and families behind it, and gives parents a place to laugh, learn, and know they're not alone," Barber and Johnson said in a joint statement.
Barber co-hosts "Evan & Tiki" on Audacy's WFAN (101.9 FM and 660 AM) in New York. He played 10 seasons for the Giants and retired as the franchise's all-time leader in rushing and all-purpose yards.
