The Mina Kimes Show featuring Lenny sees the ESPN sports journalist hosting a podcast. Mina Kimes is also bringing along a special guest. Lenny isn't a person, but her beloved dog.

Regular viewers of ESPN are likely to be familiar with podcast host Kimes. She has been with ESPN for several years and has been a panelist on numerous programs. In 2023, she surprised fans at the ESPYs when she announced her pregnancy.

Kimes has been a professional journalist since 2007. She began her career writing for Fortune Small Business Magazine. She joined Bloomberg News as an investigative reporter in 2013. The following year, ESPN asked her to be a contributor after reading a sports essay of hers on Tumblr. Before hosting The Mina Kimes Show featuring Lenny, she was the original host of the ESPN Daily podcast.

The fact that Kimes' dog is her "cohost" here gives a good window into what kind of podcast this is. Those who know her from her TV work are unlikely to find this surprising. Kimes is well known for her sense of humor and quirky commentary. That playful tone is apparent in The Mina Kimes Show featuring Lenny.

This is a football-themed podcast. Kimes knows a great deal about the sport. Many of her ESPN TV appearances are as a football analyst.

Kimes doesn't host the podcast alone. She has one or two guests join her for each episode to share their insights. Often these are other sports commentators. Taylor Kyles and Carmen Vitali have been guests on the podcast. Many of these guests are fellow ESPN hosts and writers.

The Mina Kimes Show featuring Lenny is a place where fans can get football news and still have fun at the same time. New episodes premiere weekly on Thursdays.
