Ovies & Giglio and New Orleans Football (NOF) Network are the two latest additions to Blue Wire’s roster of plugged-in regional podcast coverage, following national NFL, NCAA, and golf shows added earlier in 2024.

NOF Network includes the flagship NewOrleans.Football podcast featuring Nick Underhill’s New Orleans Saints coverage and The Jordy Culotta Show, which covers LSU sports.

“We were one of the first shows to join Blue Wire back in the early days, and Kevin’s vision then was inspiring and that has only grown over the years,” Underhill said. “Joining back up now is perfect timing for us. We’ve done a good job growing locally, but the partnership allows us to reach more audience and more national advertisers. We’ve been on different networks but this one is truly creator friendly.”

Ovies & Giglio features Joe Ovies and Joe Giglio, who bring decades of combined experience in the media industry to their coverage of North Carolina sports including NC State, North Carolina, Duke, the Carolina Hurricanes, and the Carolina Panthers.

"As the industry changes, so do the skills that are necessary to host shows and create content," Ovies said. "But as Joe Giglio and I have learned in our first year of producing an independent North Carolina based sports podcast, there comes a point where those of us on this side of the microphone can stretch ourselves thin. That’s why we’re excited to join Blue Wire. Their strong community of sports podcasts will help us navigate our show’s next chapter."
