The Golf Channel Picks Up 'Vanity Index' Video Podcast
Imagine your favorite golf show is now on TV, but it started as a video you could watch online.
The Golf Channel is now showing a video podcast called 'Vanity Index'.
Two hosts, who know a lot about golf and also about TV shows like 'The Bachelorette' and 'Full Swing', talk about cool stories.
They discuss funny or surprising things happening in golf and how it connects with famous people and movies.
They had famous guests in the first season, and they plan to have even more interesting people and stories in the new season.
It's like getting a behind-the-scenes look at golf with some celebrity sparkle.
The Golf Channel has acquired the video podcast 'Vanity Index' for its television programming.
Hosted by Chad Mumm (creator of Netflix's 'Full Swing') and Wells Adams ('The Bachelorette'), the show explores the intersection of golf, Hollywood, and pop culture.
A second season of 'Vanity Index' will feature 41 new hour-long episodes airing weekly starting January 14.
The series aims to bring behind-the-scenes stories, commentary on golf, and candid conversations with celebrity guests to a wider audience.
This move reflects a growing trend of video podcasts being adapted for television and other platforms.
