A new chapter in Chicago sports podcasting has begun.

Cole Kmet and CHGO unveiled “The Eighty Five With Cole Kmet” on Tuesday morning, launching the weekly podcast that will take you inside the Chicago Bears huddle all season long.

The first episode featured an appearance from Bears wide receiver DJ Moore and the pair discussed the team’s preseason victory over the Buffalo Bills last weekend.

Also featuring CHGO Bears host Adam Hoge, the new show will include interviews with Kmet’s teammates and other special guests relevant to Chicago sports.

The one-hour show is the first of its kind for ALLCITY Network and aligns with the
new season of HBO’s “Hard Knocks” as they cover the Chicago Bears.

“The Eighty Five with Cole Kmet” is launching with the support of partners Ankin Law and Circa Sports. The show will stream weekly on its own dedicated YouTube channel and across podcast platforms like Apple and Spotify.

“I am so excited to be teaming up with CHGO this season on “The Eighty Five.”
Growing up in Chicago, as a fan of Chicago sports, I know how passionate and
supportive our fanbase is.” Kmet said. “I can’t wait to give our supporters an
inside look into the daily grind and let them get to know me and my teammates.
We’ve got a great team over here and my hope is that “The Eighty Five,” helps to
show fans that they are a part of that team. GO BEARS!”

An Illinois native and lifelong Chicago Bears fan, Kmet played college football at Notre Dame and was drafted by the Bears in the second round of the 2020 NFL draft. In the 2023 season, he appeared in all 17 games for the Bears and finished the season with 73
receptions for 719 yards and six touchdowns.
