KANSAS CITY, Mo. — As the most-recent member of the Kelce family to get a podcast, Ed Kelce knows it’ll take a lot to catch up to his sons’ New Heights success .
“There’s a lot of interest in what I have to say right now because this is new,” Ed Kelce said. “But I will never generate the excitement and the following that the boys do.”

Right before the 2024 NFL season kicked off, they signed a deal reportedly worth more than $100 million with Amazon’s Wondery podcast network.
Ed’s “Stories with Papa” podcast is instead produced out of Kansas City’s Operation Breakthrough Ignition Lab, where students help set discussion topics, record, produce and promote the weekly episodes.
“It always takes a lot of explanation to somebody that doesn’t know about podcasting,” said Operation Breakthrough student Adbou Njie.
Njie comes up with discussion topics, records and edits audio and video for the podcast between Kelce and guests like former NFL Quarterback Bernie Kosar and former Chiefs head coach Dick Vermeil.
