With more than 100 podcast episodes under his belt, 14-year NBA veteran and current New Orleans Pelicans guard J.J. Redick is launching a podcast company: ThreeFourTwo Productions. Partnering with podcast company Cadence13, ThreeFourTwo will build out a network of podcasts including Redick’s new show, “The Old Man and the Three.”

Redick, who will feature guests ranging from voting rights activist Stacey Abrams to Portland Trail Blazers guard Damian Lillard, is the latest athlete to push deeper into podcasts.
