“Who’s the ðâŊðiest podcast host in America?” asked no one ever. Former University of Cincinnati Bearcat and current Kansas City Chiefs tight end Travis Kelce and his brother Jason Kelce, a former Philadelphia Eagles and UC offensive lineman have been named the Sexiest Podcast Hosts of 2024 by People Magazine.
According to the pop culture site, the Kelce brothers “bring twice the fun to the podcast space” with their show “New Heights.”
Other stars featured in this category include actor Penn Badgley, host of “Podcrushed;” actor Josh Peck, co-host of “Good Guys” and journalist T.J. Holmes, co-host of “Amy & T.J.”
To determine its ranking, People conducted a readers’ choice poll which received nearly 350,000 votes across 15 categories ranging from “Sexiest Musician” to “Sexiest Supportive Partner in Sports.” Readers also weighed in through social media and the website’s comment section.
People will reveal its Sexiest Man Alive of 2024 on Nov. 12.
