Jerry Ferrara, widely recognized for his roles in “Entourage” and “Power,” is branching out into new territory with an upcoming sports podcast titled “Throwbacks,” which he will co-host with Heisman Trophy recipient Matt Leinart. Ferrara has a wishlist of potential guests for his podcast, with New York Knicks star Jalen Brunson topping the list.
During a recent interview, Ferrara shared his enthusiasm for the weekly sessions he’ll hold with Leinart, where they’ll tackle various sports and life-related subjects. Ferrara intends to infuse the podcast with a true sports enthusiast’s point of view, drawing on his lifetime of support for teams like the Yankees, Giants, and Knicks, ensuring the dialogue extends beyond mere game strategies.
Ferrara and Leinart, with their dynamic backgrounds, present an interesting duo. Ferrara reminisced about how Leinart was a standout at USC during the peak years of his “Entourage” character roaming the Sunset Strip. Although the two were in the same Los Angeles circles roughly two decades ago, they have now come together to share their experiences and perspectives.
With Leinart adding a West Coast flair and Ferrara bringing his East Coast roots into the mix, the podcast is poised to offer diverse insights. Ferrara is particularly keen on having conversations with not only Brunson but also Giants newcomer Malik Nabers and head coach Brian Daboll.
Ferrara also touched upon the enduring popularity of “Entourage,” acknowledging the fans’ desires for reboots or additional films. Despite these hopes, he discussed why reviving the series might not be ideal while entertaining the idea of a spinoff centered around his character, Turtle, and his current life scenarios.
With Ferrara’s evident passion for his latest venture and the exciting potential lineup of guests like Brunson, “Throwbacks” is set to be a captivating and varied addition to the sports podcast landscape.
