00:00 LeBron James is getting into the podcast game. The Los Angeles Lakers superstar is partnering
00:05 with former NBA star J.J. Reddick on a new podcast called "Mind the Game." The pair shared
00:10 a roughly two-minute preview of their first episode. "Opens up and you slide right to the
00:14 guy that's guarding. I didn't know if you wanted a second glass. I didn't know. I have another
00:19 coverage too. I love talking basketball by the way." Episodes will be available weekly on YouTube
00:24 and all other podcast platforms. The first episode drops on Tuesday, March 19 at 7 a.m. Eastern.
00:30 A source says that James and Reddick initially hit it off during the NBA in-season tournament
00:34 and shared a wish that there would be a podcast for fans focused on what was happening on the court,
00:38 without third parties shaping the editorial direction in any way. The podcast will be
00:43 produced by James' company Uninterrupted and Reddick's 342 Productions. James and Reddick
00:48 have had two of the more successful media careers for athletes, with James producing
00:51 films like Space Jam, among other projects. Meanwhile, Reddick's 342 produces a slate of
00:56 successful podcasts. He also frequently appears as an in-studio analyst for ESPN.
