Awful Announcing
Oct 8th, 2026
The Volume adds Charissa Thompson and Erin Andrews podcast.

The Volume adds Charissa Thompson and Erin Andrews podcast. Charissa Thompson and Erin Andrews are taking their podcast to The Volume to join Fox Sports teammate Colin Cowherd. Less AI and more AA in your search results. The Volume is adding to their stable of podcasts, with two big names: Erin Andrews and Charissa Thompson. The two NFL and Fox Sports personalities began collaborating on a podcast together, Calm Down with Erin and Charissa, in February 2021 with iHeartMedia. Since then, they have hosted episodes regularly, covering their professional and personal lives, along with a range of other topics. They have even done a live show together. But now the podcast is on the move with Thompson and Andrews joining forces with another Fox Sports personality in Colin Cowherd at The Volume. The Volume will handle ad sales, production, and distribution for the podcast, which the company hopes will further their outreach to female listeners. In the official announcement, Andrews stated, "Calm Down has always been about real conversations with our friends and our listeners, and The Volume gets that. We're excited to grow the show with a team that believes in what we've built." Thompson added, "I'm so grateful to be back in Colin Cowherd's orbit. The Volume is the podcast house you want to hang out in - the dinner party you want an invite to because no matter who you're sitting next to, you know it's going to be a good time." Colin Cowherd shared his excitement for the acquisition of Calm Down, saying, "I have known Erin and Charissa for years, and there aren't enough words to describe how smart and talented they are. I could not be more excited to bring two of the most recognizable names in sports and entertainment to The Volume." Cowherd's podcast lineup and roster of stars at The Volume keep growing. His unique philosophy for hiring the right mix of hosts from the sports world and beyond has paid dividends so far. With his latest hires, Sophie Cunningham and now Erin Andrews and Charissa Thompson, The Volume hopes to broaden its audience to more female sports fans. Hopefully there's no awkward entry interview this time around, though.
