NFL Post-Game Discussion Platform "Speakeasy" Opens to Public, Hosted by Emmanuel Acho and LeSean 'Shady' McCoy

In an exciting development for sports enthusiasts, Emmanuel Acho and LeSean McCoy have announced the launch of their new sports show, "Speakeasy." The YouTube program is set to revolutionise the sports broadcasting landscape.

Executive produced by Acho's production company, SpeakEsports LLC, "Speakeasy" will be filmed in a West Hollywood studio, offering a lounge-like setting that promises an intimate and engaging atmosphere.

The duo, who previously co-hosted Fox Sports programs "Speak" and "The Facility," have planned a unique mix of athletes, celebrity guests, and fans for the show. Kieran Hickey-Semple, a TikTok creator and comedian, will join as a contributor.

"Speakeasy" will stream live immediately after every Sunday, Monday, and Thursday NFL game, and continue with additional studio episodes on Tuesdays and Wednesdays. The show will also air special editions, such as the one scheduled for Friday, Sept. 5, following the Chargers-Chiefs matchup in Brazil.

Acho's strategy for the new sports show is to redirect the audience already on social media during games to the show. He believes that the audience for the new sports show is already on social media during games, and the show will not require viewers to find it.

In an interesting move, Acho sees potential for "Speakeasy" to be licensed by networks hosting one or two games a year, but lacking daily show infrastructure, such as Amazon Prime and Netflix. This could potentially expand the reach of "Speakeasy" to a wider audience.

Acho's vision for "Speakeasy" is to make it easier for networks to provide daily sports content, by taking care of the studio, talent, production, and other logistics. He aims to create a sports show built for the current year, designed to engage viewers rather than lecture them.

"Speakeasy" will also feature a unique interactive element, allowing hosts and guests to respond instantly to remarks sent by viewers. This feature is expected to enhance the viewers' experience, making them feel more connected to the show.

The new sports show, "Speakeasy," is unlike anything offered by the biggest outlets, according to Acho and McCoy. With its innovative approach and engaging format, it is set to redefine sports broadcasting. Stay tuned for more updates on this exciting new venture!
