VSiN, The Sports Betting Network, has announced the launch of a new weekly podcast, Fade Us Sports. Bringing together some of poker’s most celebrated names to share their insights on sports betting, the show will premiere Wednesday. The program features Phil Hellmuth, Mike “The Mouth” Matusow, Brandon Cantu, and David Woodley.
Collectively, the hosts boast 23 World Series of Poker WSOP bracelets and more than $50 million in tournament winnings.
“This new podcast represents a collection of some of the greatest minds in the history of gambling. We’re thrilled to add this title to our network of premier sports betting podcasts,” said Brian Musburger, president and chief business officer at VSiN. “While they’re poker royalty, Phil, Mike, Brandon and David may not be as well known for their sports betting prowess, but it’s clear that they don’t like to lose. Every gambler can learn from these guys.”
Fade Us Sports blends poker expertise with sports analysis. Delivering weekly conversations that cover NFL matchups, survivor pool strategies, and insider perspectives from poker’s biggest stages. The hosts’ friendships and rivalries, spanning more than three decades, create a dynamic atmosphere.
Hellmuth describes the content as “authentic and entertaining.” He believes it will reflect the same banter and strategy talks that happen in living rooms and sportsbooks nationwide.
“‘Fade Us’ captures the conversations every bettor has with friends on game day,” Hellmuth said. “Partnering with VSiN is a natural fit, pairing our everyman perspective with the sharp insights of the industry’s true experts.”
Hellmuth, a 17-time WSOP champion and Poker Hall of Famer, has also authored several books and hosted multiple television programs. Matusow is a four-time bracelet winner with more than $10 million in live earnings. He’s best known for his fiery personality on High Stakes Poker and Poker After Dark.
Cantu, a two-time WSOP bracelet winner, has earned over $5 million in tournament winnings and enjoys betting on teams from his native Northwest. Woodley, a veteran sports media and betting executive, co-founded Speed Survivor and has spent over 15 years at companies including Playmaker HQ, Big Lead Sports, and EDGE Boost.
David Krulewich, CEO of Mission Media, emphasized the podcast’s market appeal. “Adding these legendary names to VSiN’s Podcast Network is a sign of the breadth of VSIN’s content and audience,” he said. “Advertisers that want real marketing results know to rely on independent category influencers. When it comes to gaming, it’s hard to find more influential names than these.”
The launch of Fade Us Sports coincides with the return of VSiN’s other shows. Those include the College Football Betting Podcast and First Strike, which focuses on MMA, UFC, and boxing betting. The VSiN Podcast Network also offers titles such as VSiN Best Bets, Beating the Book, Long Shots, The Baseball Betting Show, and VSiN at the Track.
