''NBA Pulse''

iHeartPodcasts and the National Basketball Association (NBA) will debut "NBA Pulse with Sarah Kustok," a new thrice-weekly podcast hosted by sports analyst, host and reporter Sarah Kustok, beginning December 12.

Kustok began her career in Chicago as a host and reporter for NBC Sports Chicago, covering every professional sports team in the city. Kustok was inducted into the Chicagoland Sports Hall of Fame in 2012, The Illinois Basketball Coaches' Association Hall of Fame in 2021 and the Carl Sandburg High School Hall of Fame in 2018. Currently, Kustok hosts programs on SiriusXM's NBA Radio, FOX Sports, NFL on FOX and CBS Sports' "We Need To Talk."

"NBA Pulse with Sarah Kustok" premieres December 12, with new shows airing three days a week on Monday, Wednesday and Friday.
