Fanatics Sportsbook has renewed its collaboration with Almost Friday Media to launch the second season of Glory Daze, the weekly podcast hosted by former NFL quarterback Johnny Manziel.
The second season is scheduled for an official launch on June 12, 2025, and highlights an expanded partnership between the two brands.
Consequently, the new season will feature integrated sportsbook promotions and new tools specifically created to boost audience engagement.
Produced by Almost Friday Media, the Glory Daze podcast dives into gripping conversations with both current and former athletes, highlighting key, exciting moments from their playing days.
The new season kicks off with Las Vegas Raiders defensive end Maxx Crosby as the first guest, with new episodes being geared to be released weekly on several major podcast platforms and on Manziel’s personal YouTube channel.
As part of the new campaign, Manziel will also take on the persona of “Johnny FanCash” in Fanatics Sportsbook’s promotional content, something that will see the former quarterback deliver weekly betting picks and lead prize giveaways exclusively via the app.
Fanatics Sportsbook, now live in 20 U.S. states ever since its May 2024 launch in New Jersey, will make the Glory Dazecontent available directly on its cutting-edge mobile app.
What is particularly exciting is that a special live episode of Glory Daze will be recorded during Fanatics Fest NYC, a three-day sports celebration taking place from June 20 to 22 at the Javits Center in New York City.
The unique festival will blend live entertainment, sports memorabilia, and provide interactive fan experiences, thus creating an immersive environment for fans of all ages.
Johnny Manziel commented on the news:
This season is all about going deeper into those stories and connecting with the fans who remember these glory days just as vividly as we do. It’s about celebrating the moments that shaped the sports we love.
