Glory Daze with Johnny Manziel Podcast Trailer
Johnny Football is back baby! This time with a weekly podcast that, to be honest, sounds like a lot of fun. P.S. I really want to hear about the Greg Oden story. You'll know when you listen to the trailer.
LOS ANGELES, CA (August 29, 2024) -– Almost Friday Media, a leading digital studio and network producing comedy and sports content across all new media platforms, today announced a new, original weekly interview series, “Glory Daze” – hosted by Heisman Trophy winner and former NFL quarterback, Johnny Manziel.
Premiering later this fall, “Glory Daze,” will feature Johnny interviewing sports legends as they reminisce on some of the most remarkable moments and eras in sports that are still remembered and beloved by fans today. These impactful, nostalgic conversations will highlight the emotional nuances that professional athletes experience -- from the monumental wins to the adversities that often accompany them.
"I've been fortunate enough to experience the highest highs and lowest lows that come with being a professional athlete," said Johnny Manziel. "Now on 'Glory Daze,' with Almost Friday Media, I'll get the opportunity to sit down with other iconic athletes and help them share their incredible stories. We'll look back through the lens of the players themselves, giving fans an inside look at the moments they remember and the stories they've never heard."
Each week, interviews will revisit iconic sports moments and untold stories from the 'good ol' days,' as Johnny and his guests pull back the curtain to reveal true stories behind some of the most memorable career journeys -- everything from legendary parties to dealing with the trials and tribulations of fame, and authentic discussions on mental health.
"The original Friday Beers account was built, in part, around the relatable experience of watching iconic late night highlights with your buddies. This interview series is a natural and exciting evolution of that,” said Jacob Selzer, Head of Sports at Almost Friday Media. “Johnny is the perfect embodiment of the Almost Friday spirit - someone who can speak to the highs of the glory days while authentically destigmatizing challenging conversations around mental health. We couldn't be more thrilled to have him at the helm of these conversations and as part of the Almost Friday Media family."
“Glory Daze” is the latest original series to launch from Almost Friday Media, which sees over a billion impressions per quarter across the network’s diverse slate of original video and audio programming. The company is quickly becoming the premier destination for creator-first content -- everything from sketch comedy to travel to sports including F1, hockey, golf, and football. “Glory Daze” joins a lineup of original series including “The Almost Friday Podcast,” “The Red Flags Podcast,” “Country Club Adjacent,” “Empty Netters,” and “Will & Rusty’s Playdate.”
Beginning this fall, fans will be able to watch and listen to new episodes of “Glory Daze” on YouTube, Spotify, Apple or wherever you get your podcasts. Subscribe to watch on YouTube (https://www.youtube.com/@JohnnyManziel1) and follow along on Instagram, and TikTok @GloryDazePod.
