Premiere Networks is launching a new podcast featuring Clay Travis, bringing back a concept from his FOX Sports Radio days. Animal Thunderdome will explore viral wildlife stories, discoveries, and debates in a weekly format.
What We Know: Animal Thunderdome originates from Travis’ former FOX Sports Radio show and reunites him with Danny Garite. The new podcast will focus on unusual animal encounters, wildlife discoveries, and stories highlighting conflicts between humans and animals. Premiere Networks will distribute the weekly program, extending the concept beyond its original radio run. The show’s focus on viral stories and unusual encounters gives it a subject matter that can appeal to audiences beyond traditional sports and talk radio listeners.
What They Said: “America has demanded that the ongoing battle between humans and animals not be ignored. Danny G and I are excited to reunite and share these unbelievable stories with listeners every week. We are here to save the humans!” -Clay Travis
“Clay and I had a blast with Animal Thunderdome on FOX Sports Radio, and I’m excited to take the madness to a whole new level with Premiere! There’s never a shortage of unbelievable man-versus-animal stories!” -Danny Garite
What Remains Unclear: Premiere Networks hasn’t announced the podcast’s premiere date, episode length, or distribution platforms. Additional details about the show’s production schedule and potential expansion into other formats also remain unknown.
What It Means: The launch gives Premiere Networks another personality-driven podcast built around an established radio concept. Meanwhile, Travis and Garite can revisit a format they previously developed together while reaching listeners who enjoy viral stories and wildlife-related debates. The weekly schedule also provides a recurring opportunity to build an audience around a subject that regularly generates attention across digital platforms.
