Athletes should leverage their active career status to launch podcasting projects because the transition to media is perceived differently once a player is no longer in the league.

“I knew in my situation that whatever I want to do if it was podcasting cuz I did have aspirations of doing a podcast, I needed to do it now while I still have the opportunity of being an NFL player because when you're on the other side of it it just comes off differently”

Cam Johnson believes that podcasting is an effective way for professional athletes to share their perspective and behind-the-scenes stories with fans.

“I kind of saw that, you know, it's a good way for us as players to get our voice out, to share perspective that maybe the fans want to see, that they want to hear, and to maybe give stories behind the scenes or or just little tidbits of information that um is relevant is relevant to what's going on ”
