Sibling Synergy Goes Live: Jason and Travis Kelce Share the Studio for the First Time in New Heights Podcast’ History with a Memorable In-Person Episode after Mother’s Day hangout with Taylor Swift

New Heights Reaches a Historic Milestone: Jason and Travis Kelce Host Their First-Ever In-Person Podcast Episode in a Cozy Studio Setting

May 12, 2025 – The sports podcasting world is buzzing with excitement as New Heights, the wildly popular show hosted by NFL stars and brothers Jason and Travis Kelce, has reached a groundbreaking milestone: its first-ever in-person episode. Fans of the podcast, which has become a staple for football enthusiasts and casual listeners alike, were treated to a rare glimpse of the Kelce brothers sharing a studio space, bringing their signature humor and sibling chemistry to life in a whole new way.

Since its launch, New Heights has captivated audiences with the unique dynamic between Jason Kelce, a former center for the Philadelphia Eagles, and Travis Kelce, the Kansas City Chiefs’ star tight end. The podcast, which typically features the brothers recording remotely due to their busy schedules, has built a loyal fanbase by offering an insider’s look into the NFL, sprinkled with hilarious anecdotes, trending sports debates, and quirky topics like UFO conspiracies and parenting tips for “feral” children. However, the latest episode marks a historic shift, as the brothers finally sat down together in person for the first time in the show’s history.

The milestone episode, which dropped on May 12, 2025, was teased earlier that day by a fan-favorite X account, Jack (Tayvis Version) (@JackTomo7139), who shared a promotional image of the recording session. The photo captures Jason, Travis, and two other guests lounging in a cozy studio with warm, amber lighting, a patterned red backdrop, and a large screen displaying the New Heights logo. The relaxed vibe of the setting mirrors the laid-back tone of the podcast, with the brothers casually dressed—Jason sporting a red, white, and blue sweater paired with sneakers, and Travis opting for a light green shirt, shorts, and flip-flops. The image, captioned with an enthusiastic “IN PERSON EPISODE YAYYYYYYY,” quickly went viral, racking up thousands of likes and shares as fans celebrated the long-awaited moment.

For those familiar with New Heights, the significance of this in-person episode cannot be overstated. The podcast, produced by Wondery, has thrived on the brothers’ ability to connect despite being miles apart—Jason often recording from Philadelphia or his new role as an ESPN analyst, and Travis joining from Kansas City or wherever his NFL season takes him. Their remote setup allowed for flexibility but often left fans yearning for the kind of unfiltered, face-to-face banter that only siblings can deliver. The in-person episode delivers just that, with the brothers feeding off each other’s energy in real time, their laughter and playful jabs filling the studio.

“Football’s funniest family duo has taken it to the next level,” reads the episode’s description on Apple Podcasts, where New Heights is updated weekly. “Jason and Travis Kelce team up in person for the first time, providing next-level access to life in the league as it unfolds.” The episode itself doesn’t disappoint, covering a range of topics from the brothers’ recent experiences at the 8am Golf Tournament to a heated debate about whether they could survive a fight against a gorilla—a classic New Heights tangent that had listeners in stitches. The in-person format also allowed for more spontaneous moments, like Travis playfully mocking Jason’s outfit choice, which sparked a 10-minute detour into their differing fashion philosophies.

The timing of this milestone couldn’t be better for New Heights, which has seen its popularity soar in 2025. The podcast has become a cultural phenomenon, thanks in part to the Kelce brothers’ growing media presence. Travis, in particular, has been in the spotlight due to his high-profile relationship with pop icon Taylor Swift, a connection that has brought a wave of new listeners to the show. (Earlier X posts from the same account highlight Travis attending one of Swift’s concerts, a moment that fans celebrated as an “adorable” anniversary of their bond.) Meanwhile, Jason’s transition into retirement and his role as a broadcaster have made him a beloved figure in sports media, with his candid and often hilarious takes resonating with audiences.

The in-person episode also underscores the podcast’s evolution as a multi-platform experience. Beyond its audio format, New Heights has a robust YouTube presence, where fans can join the “New Heights YouTube Membership” for access to full episodes, bonus videos, and exclusive content. The membership model reflects a broader trend in sports media, where creators are finding new ways to engage with fans and build community. For New Heights, this milestone episode is a testament to its growth—from a remote passion project to a cultural touchstone that brings the Kelce brothers’ larger-than-life personalities into the same room.

As fans continue to share their excitement on social media, the consensus is clear: the first in-person episode of New Heights was worth the wait. “This is the BEST episode ever,” one listener commented on X, echoing the sentiments of many. “You can feel their energy through the screen—it’s like hanging out with your own brothers.” Another fan praised the episode’s authenticity, noting, “Jason and Travis together in person is pure gold. More of this, please!”

For now, the Kelce brothers have promised that this won’t be the last in-person episode, teasing more live recordings and special events in the future. As New Heights continues to break new ground, one thing is certain: Jason and Travis Kelce are redefining what it means to be sports podcasters, one hilarious, heartfelt episode at a time.
