"Origins, with James Andrew Miller" is the highly-acclaimed podcast series that explores crucial beginnings and evolutionary paths leading to great achievements in television, film, music, publishing, and human relationships.

Throughout the ESPN chapter, Jim speaks with personalities, producers, and top executives who played critical roles in ESPN's unprecedented march through television history.

Former ESPN presidents Steve Bornstein and George Bodenheimer, along with current president John Skipper and numerous other key senior executives, share candid views on myriad subjects, creating a raw and fresh narrative not only about the past but ESPN's future as well.  

"ESPN remains one of the most intriguing and important forces in the world of media, and it's been a blast to dig into these iconic shows, while also examining how the crazy world of social media has affected the network," says Miller. "Listeners will hear directly from those present at creation, and those now charged with leading ESPN into a suddenly uncertain future. They will also hear stories and insights they haven't heard before, while at the same time getting a deeper understanding of the people who make ESPN what it is today."

Chris Corcoran, Chief Content Officer of Cadence13 says, "Following the incredible success of "Origins Chapter 1: Curb Your Enthusiasm" this new epic chapter delves into the groundbreaking, complex and endlessly entertaining world of a network, ESPN, that is always evolving.  Only Jim Miller could bring together such a broad and diverse group from ESPN's past and present to weave together a story that is, by far, the most comprehensive to date, and also leaves you wanting more."
