Dirty Mo Media is expanding its audio footprint in 2026, unveiling a slate of new programming that builds on one of the most recognizable podcast networks in motorsports and sports media. The company announced several new shows are set to join its lineup, with Sons & Daughters becoming the first officially revealed addition.
The new weekly podcast will debut March 4 across all major podcast platforms, with new episodes released every Wednesday. A series preview is already available through Dirty Mo Media’s digital channels, including YouTube and its official website.
Hosted by veteran broadcaster Shannon Spake, Sons & Daughters will focus on deeply personal conversations with prominent figures from sports, music, and entertainment. Rather than centering on accomplishments alone, the series will explore formative experiences, family influences, and pivotal moments that shaped each guest’s path.
The announcement continues an active period of growth for Dirty Mo Media, which already features established shows such as The Dale Jr. Download, Bless Your ‘Hardt, Door Bumper Clear, and Actions Detrimental.
Company president and executive producer Mike Davis described the coming year as a turning point for the brand.
“We are planning an ambitious year of new programming, new verticals, and more opportunities to engage with the Dirty Mo community,” Davis said. He added that while additional projects will roll out over the next several weeks, Sons & Daughters represents the first step in that broader strategy.
The show has already spent several weeks in pre-production and has recorded early episodes. Initial guests include Hall of Fame basketball coach Mike Krzyzewski and ESPN personality Marty Smith, signaling the range of voices the series intends to feature.
Davis emphasized that Spake’s own background made her a natural fit to lead the project. While audiences widely recognize her for her on-air work across NASCAR, the NBA, and college sports, he noted that her personal journey adds depth and credibility to the conversations the show aims to deliver.
Spake currently serves as a reporter and host for NASCAR on TNT and covers the Charlotte Hornets on FanDuel Sports Network Southeast. Her career also includes significant roles at FOX Sports and ESPN, where she worked on SportsCenter and as a sideline reporter for major college football and basketball broadcasts.
According to Spake, the podcast is designed to go well beyond surface-level interviews. She said the goal is to highlight the people and experiences that shape success long before public recognition arrives, while creating space for honesty and vulnerability from both host and guest.
Dirty Mo Media indicated that additional programming announcements tied to its 2026 slate are forthcoming.
