Checkd Media expands Sky Sports Fantasy Football content deal

The “I Had Trials Once” podcast series ran in the last football season presented by Jordan Hulme and football agent Garth Seddon.

The returning show will see episodes running over a six weeks and will also be uploaded to YouTube.

The affiliate company’s tech division has been involved in building out Sky Sports’ fantasy game in the last two years.

Will Tyrrell, Checkd Media UK media director, said that the podcast is back after a “sizeable break” and after it received “plenty of requests from listeners”.

“It’s a unique podcast with a highly-engaged and loyal audience,” said Tyrrell. “We’re sure Jordan and Gareth will once again bring out the best offbeat stories from their guests, while also helping to promote the new Sky Sports Fantasy Football game which has been such a success story for our Checkd Dev business since it rebuilt the platform two seasons ago.”

Checkd Group recently launched its FlashPicks app in North America with integration from US-based operators.
