First Take

ESPN, Stephen A. Smith, Shae CornetteSports200 episodes · latest Jul 20, 2026

First Take’s biggest search strength is its dominance for core intent terms like “sports podcasts” and “sports talk,” where it holds top visibility on both Apple and Spotify. Its clearest missed opportunity is expanding into conversation- and audience-led queries such as “sports chat with athletes,” “sports fan talk,” and “real sports conversations,” which are closely aligned with the show’s debate format but aren’t yet represented in its current keyword footprint.
