Michael Strahan, the "Good Morning America" anchor and former NFL player, is expanding into podcasting. Strahan will co-host a new interview show with Constance Schwartz-Morini, his co-founder at SMAC Entertainment, his production company. The podcast launches under Strahan's own banner as part of a broader podcasting network that SMAC is developing with AMP Media.
The show will feature conversations with celebrities, business executives, and other notable figures. Strahan joins a crowded field of media personalities who have moved into podcast hosting in recent years. The partnership with AMP Media, a podcast production and distribution company, gives Strahan's venture backing and distribution infrastructure.
SMAC Entertainment, which Strahan founded with Schwartz-Morini, has produced content for major broadcasters including ABC and Netflix. The company has established itself as a significant player in unscripted television and digital media. This podcast network represents an expansion into audio content, a natural progression for a production company operating across multiple platforms.
The podcast space has attracted major media figures seeking to build direct audiences outside traditional broadcast constraints. Strahan's entry reflects the continued appeal of long-form interview content, particularly when hosted by established personalities with existing celebrity connections. His profile as a longtime television personality and sports broadcaster gives him built-in credibility for interviewing high-profile guests.
SMAC's network launch with AMP Media suggests ambitions beyond a single show. Multiple podcasts under the SMAC banner could follow, building a portfolio approach similar to how production companies operate across television and film.
Strahan remains a central fixture at ABC, where he co-hosts "GMA," one of network television's flagship morning shows. The podcast venture allows him to develop content independently while maintaining his broadcast responsibilities. This dual approach reflects how modern media personalities now operate across multiple platforms and outlets simultaneously.
