You’ll find NFL, hoops, wrestling, the occasional movie review, and more here, and Chase does a great job lining up interesting guests.” - Brandon Anderson / Medium

Who is Chase Thomas?

The sports Rennaisance Man Himself

Chase Thomas has been at this for a while. For as long as he can remember, Chase has known exactly what he wanted to do when he grew up. Chase loved to read, write and talk. Naturally, his passions drew him to journalism. More specifically, sports journalism. He had his favorite sportswriters, sports radio hosts and later sports podcasters. Chase read and listened to them all and dreamed about one day following in their footsteps in the sports media industry.

So he did. Except, he did it his own way. The Chase Thomas Podcast was started as an independent, longterm dream for Chase. After a fantastic two-year run with Blue Wire, The Chase Thomas Podcast is still an independent, longterm dream for Chase. By remaining independent, Chase is able to create the show he wants to create each and everyday.
