Premiering Aug. 25 on all major audio platforms and YouTube
CHICAGO, IL – 312 Sports announces the launch of Dan Bernstein Unfiltered, a no-holds-barred daily podcast giving one of Chicago’s most recognizable sports voices an unfiltered microphone and a digital-first home. Dan has spent the last three decades informing and entertaining Chicago sports fans with his unique brand of strong opinion and cerebral commentary. The show premieres Monday, Aug. 25. and will stream on all major audio platforms and YouTube.
“Thirty years on Chicago airwaves taught me that fans want honesty above all else, and that’s what they can expect from me every day.” said Bernstein. “I couldn’t be more excited to get back behind the microphone, dig into Bears camp, and tell my story.”
The debut episode will cover Bernstein’s time off the air, offering reflections on his personal and professional journey, and share what you can expect daily from Dan Bernstein Unfiltered. As he always has, Bernstein will speak candidly about himself, about the Chicago sports scene, and why now is the right time to re-engage with Chicago’s passionate sports community. Joining Bernstein on the new show will be his longtime executive producer Matt Abbatacola.
“Dan’s thoughtful and honest perspective has captured the pulse of this city for decades,” added Keith Lawless, Hubbard Chicago Market President. “His new show on 312 Sports will give listeners the kind of honest conversation they can’t get anywhere else.”
Launching alongside Dan Bernstein Unfiltered, the 312 Sports Podcast Network, part of the Gamut Podcast Network, will be Chicago’s go-to home for sharp, personality-driven sports coverage—rooted in the city’s fan culture and unmistakable voices. Born in Chicago, it will pair veteran talent with the city’s passion for sports to deliver coverage that feels like it’s coming from the next seat over.
“Chicago sports fans deserve a platform that lives and breathes the 312 attitude,” said John Goforth, Vice President & General Manager of 312 Sports and Gamut Podcast Network. “Starting with Dan sets the bar sky-high for insight and candor. He’s the voice you debate with at the bar because you know he’s done the homework.”
