Kansas City Chiefs star Travis Kelce has a long-standing and very popular podcast with his brother, Jason Kelce. Together, these two have built a large following for “New Heights,” which they first started in September 2022.
Travis Kelce currently has more time on his hands to attend to his podcast and other off-field activities. This is after the Chiefs were eliminated from playoff contention following a forgettable campaign. Kansas City ended the season with a 6-11 record.
