From 2018 to 2020, Wright hosted another incarnation of his What's Wright with Nick Wright? radio show, this time on Sirius XM's Mad Dog Radio station.[4][5]
In January 2022, Fox Sports launched Fox Audio Network, a podcast network to leverage its on-air talent in the audio space.[6][7] Originally scheduled to premiere on March 1, 2022,[8] Wright's podcast ultimately premiered on March 15.[7][9] The podcast is produced by Blue Duck Media.[10]
After Wright's podcast debuted, it held the #4 ranking on the Apple Podcasts chart.[11]
