Podcast Host: Audacy

Overview

In this special “Fly on the Wall” episode, Dana Carvey and David Spade introduce listeners to a new podcast they’re excited about: Free Range with Von Miller. They riff on Von’s resume as both a football legend and chicken farmer before giving the mic over to Von Miller for an energetic preview of his own show. The duo’s signature banter frames a pitch that Free Range isn’t just another sports podcast, but an off-the-wall blend of locker room insight, culture, comedy, and (yes) honest-to-goodness chicken farming.

Who is Von Miller?

2. Von Miller’s Podcast Preview (01:03–End)

Introducing Von’s World:
Von establishes his podcast persona right away: Super Bowl MVP, “Chicken Whisperer,” and now a podcast host. The “Free Range” title is both literal (chickens) and metaphorical (wide-ranging topics).
