In a new venture into the world of sports and media, Caitlyn Jenner and Lamar Odom are joining forces to launch a groundbreaking podcast titled Keeping Up with Sports, cleverly nodding to their shared history with the reality TV series Keeping Up with the Kardashians.
The duo, once related by marriage, is set to explore the intricate lives and challenges of sports figures past and present, bringing a unique blend of personal insight and star-studded narratives to listeners around the globe.
Keeping Up with Sports aims to shed light on the often untold stories of athletes’ early struggles and triumphs, providing an intimate look at what it takes to rise to the top of one’s game. Both Jenner and Odom are no strangers to the limelight, with Jenner securing an Olympic gold medal in the decathlon in 1976 and Odom achieving NBA glory with two championship rings as part of the Los Angeles Lakers. Their firsthand experiences, combined with their connections within the sports world, set the stage for compelling discussions and revelations.
Joining Caitlyn Jenner and Lamar Odom is Zach Hirsch, a renowned “sports influencer,” who will co-host the podcast. Together, they plan to delve into the lives of some of the most iconic figures in sports, kicking off with none other than former boxing champion Sugar Ray Leonard as their inaugural guest.
In a poignant moment from a sneak peek video of the podcast, Leonard opens up about a deeply personal and traumatic experience, revealing for the first time in decades that he was a victim of sexual abuse by one of his trainers.
Overcome with emotion, Leonard shared, “I was sexually abused by one of my trainers,” pausing before adding, “and I kept it in my heart and in my head for ten, fifteen, twenty years.” Reflecting on the pain and silence that followed, he admitted, “I don’t even know how long it’s been. I never said anything, but when I did say it, I broke down like a baby, I cried so hard, because I was hurting.”
