ESPN draft guru Mel Kiper Jr. announced today via his X account that he and Dari Nowkhah are ending their weekend ESPN Radio show. The Dari and Mel Show has aired for 14 years on Saturdays and will have one final broadcast this weekend .
“After 14 years of many interesting discussions/debates, Kiper’s Callers, fantastic guests, Mikey C’s antics, and so much fun, Dari and I are hanging up our headphones and saying goodbye to the Dari and Mel Show on ESPN Radio,” Kiper wrote. “Thank you to our loyal fans who have kept us going all these years. It’s been an amazing ride, especially getting to do it alongside my good friend, Dari Nowkhah. It’s not over yet though. Tune in this Saturday, May 4th, from 10am to 1:30pm EST on ESPN Radio for our final show.”
Nowkhah replied to Kiper’s post saying, “I second all the Mel Man said. Doing this show with an incredible friend and group of friends every Saturday for nearly 14 years has been unreal. I’m sad that it’s ending. But we will have a hell of a finale!”
Nowkhah has been with ESPN since 2004 while Kiper has been part of The Worldwide Leader since 1984.
