Todd Spangler NY Digital Editor Tyler “Ninja” Blevins is stepping away from the gaming keyboard — and getting into your earbuds with his first-ever podcast.
The top gaming influencer will host twice-weekly podcast “AFK w/ Ninja,” set to premiere Sept. 12 across all major platforms.
New episodes of the show will be available every Tuesday and Thursday on Apple Podcasts, Spotify, the SiriusXM app and all major podcasts platforms. “I’m hyped to finally talk about what has been in the works for a long time,” Blevins said in a prepared statement. “I’ve always wanted to blaze new trails, and making my mark in the podcast world gives me the chance to sit on the other side of the table to dish out the questions myself!” The first of the weekly “AFK w/ Ninja” episodes will feature “fun and wide-ranging conversations” with notable athletes, actors, musicians and (of course) gamers.
Initial guests will include Oscar-winning actor Matthew McConaughey, Detroit Lions quarterback Jared Goff, multihyphenate Steve Aoki and Fortnite streamer Chica Live (Maria Lopez).
