New sports related podcast founded by local residents
In a world today where hip-hop music and e-sports are taking the world by storm, a local podcast is going against the grain in a unique way. Peyton Taylor and Jackson Finch, two local cousins from the Union and Lee County areas, respectively, have embarked on a new project, a sports-oriented podcast by the name of “Cousin Cast.”
This podcast contains a variety of sports topics such as NCAA, NFL, NBA, PGA and much more. However, one of the differences that sets this project apart from others is the assortment of non-sports related content that will go up on the channel. For instance, these cousins share their opinions on entertainment such as movies, music, television shows, etc.
Multiple episodes have already premiered, tackling topics such as NBA Free Agency, SEC Football betting lines, and Spider-Man: Far from Home. Unreleased episodes will venture into a variety of topics, like Kawhi Leonard and Paul George’s move to the Los Angeles Clippers, The Office, and the British Open, which will premiere soon.
As of now, Cousin Cast is releasing weekly episodes on Tuesday, with occasional bonus episodes dropping on surprise dates. For updates on the podcast, make sure to follow the social media accounts on Facebook at “Cousin Cast”, Instagram at “cousincast”, and Twitter at “castcousin.”
