'New Heights' isn't the sole sports-themed podcast being recorded at the festival; several other podcasts will also broadcast live during this star-studded event.
'Nightcap,' hosted by Shannon Sharpe and Chad "Ochocinco" Johnson, will have a special edition. Additionally, an episode of 'A Touch More,' hosted by athletes Sue Bird and Megan Rapinoe, will also be featured.
The Cannes Lions International Festival of Creativity is scheduled to run from June 17 to June 20. Coincidentally, the overseas recording of 'New Heights' aligns with Travis' girlfriend, Taylor Swift, being on the European leg of her record-breaking Eras Tour.
Swift is scheduled to perform in the UK around the same time Travis will be in Cannes, with a show in Wales on June 18.
Travis and Jason Kelce's bond
In March, Jason Kelce emotionally reflected on his enduring bond with his brother Travis Kelce while announcing his retirement from the NFL.
As per Today, he said, "I won’t forget falling short to the Chiefs,” adding, "After taking a few breaths, he prepared the crowd in the room for more tears, telling them, this is where it’s going to go off the rails.”
When the game ended and the clock ran out, Jason Kelce expressed conflicting emotions, torn between immense pride "that my brother climbed the mountaintop once again" and profound heartbreak for himself and his teammates. He went on to reflect on their humble family upbringing.
“It was really my brother and I our whole lives,” he shared. The 36-year-old continued, “We did almost everything together competed, fought, laughed, cried and learned from each other. We invented games, imagined ourselves as the star players of that time."
