Travis and Jason Kelce Announce Hiatus From ‘New Heights’ Podcast as Kansas City Chiefs Training Camp Looms

Travis and Jason Kelce’s popular podcast is taking a break as Travis will soon begin training camp.

Travis and Jason Kelce‘s popular podcast, New Heights, is going on a brief hiatus.

The lovable brothers shared the news during Wednesday’s season 2 finale episode. As to the reason behind their hiatus, that’s simple — Travis will soon begin training camp with the Kansas City Chiefs, the back-to-back defending Super Bowl champions.

“We got a nice couple months off from podcasting because, I guess, in three weeks time Travis will be in the middle of training camp,” Jason kicked off the show. “And let me tell you, not enough time to do a podcast, especially the best podcast in the world. He’s gonna be busy focusing on football, getting in shape for this upcoming season. So we’re gonna be off for about two months.”

As for when the duo will pick things back up, Travis offered a clue.

“I’m down to pick it up once we’re done with training camp,” he said.

Jason added that after consulting with the podcast’s producer, the end of August could be a possibility.

In any event, the Chiefs kick off training camp on July 21. Their first preseason game is slated for Aug. 10 against the Jacksonville Jaguars, followed by two more preseason games against the Detroit Lions (Aug. 17) and Chicago Bears (Aug. 22) before officially beginning their 2024 regular season against the Baltimore Ravens in a rematch of the AFC Championship Game on Sept. 5 at Arrowhead Stadium in Kansas City, Missouri.

In the meantime, Jason teased that fans should keep an eye on the podcast’s social media channels because they’ll be updating them and possibly drop never-before-seen footage of the show.

“That’s terrifying if you ask me,” Travis quipped. “But should be entertainment, nonetheless.”

By the way, it’s quite possible that the first two days of Chiefs training camp (July 21 and July 22) will be a madhouse, as the full team will be made available to provide fans with autographs. Meaning, if Swifties are reading this, there’s a good chance they’ll get to nab an autograph from Taylor Swift‘s boyfriend. After those dates, position groups are made available to sign autographs on different practice dates. The full team will be made available for fan autographs again on July 27 before Travis’ position group (wide receivers and tight ends) is slated to be made available on July 28.

And while Travis is gearing up for training camp, Jason is preparing to join ESPN’s Monday Night Countdown after retiring from the Philadelphia Eagles earlier this year.

During the season 2 finale of the New Heights podcast, Travis also reacted to meeting Julia Roberts at Taylor’s Eras Tour show in Dublin, Ireland. Travis’ reaction with the 56-year-old Oscar winner went viral, and he and Jason discussed the sweet moment.

“Dude, you just took a photo with Julia Roberts,” Jason exclaimed.

Laughing, Travis responded, “I wish I would have got one with Julia!”

He went on to confirm the encounter, saying, “Yeah, I met Julia Roberts in Ireland, in Dublin, that was pretty cool. She’s awesome. Her and Stevie Nicks were in there having some fun.”
