Le Batard & Friends - South Beach Sessions

14,792

There's way more behind the biggest and most beloved personalities from sports, music, comedy and more... all it takes is longtime host and reporter Dan Le Batard revealing more about himself than ever before too. South Beach Sessions is the critically acclaimed flagship podcast in the LeBatard and Friends Podcast Network. These one-on-one conversations aren't the same old, boring sitdowns - there's no success story without some struggle, no laughs without a few tears, and no questions left unanswered by Dan who gets past what you've already heard and into more with Dan Le Batard.

    Grief Eating is Healthy
    This won’t be your typical interview with a known figure. Love the one with Hasan Piker - I’m calling my parents more now!

    Great, just fn Great.

    Skip Bayless Interview
    This was a great conversation and I learned a lot about Skip. One thing that I cannot stand about Skip, and most people on TV and debate shows is that he doesn’t let the other person finish talking. He is always trying to over talk the other person and constantly interrupts Dan. I wish Dan would tell him to let him finish his thought before he starts.

    Le Batard is a hypocrite
    Dan Le Batard wanted dolphins to not sign Hill because of his domestic violence. But when interviewing Vice President Husband Dan didn’t ask him about it or why he got his nanny pregnant. Vice president who says he respect women. Yet gets nanny pregnant and hit his girlfriend.
  • David VanH
    Bill Lawrence episode is a must listen
    Please listen as there are so many lessons and great stories in this. It’s not ridiculous to say it’s therapeutic
  • HeyDanThisIsBilly
    Real
    The authentic exploration of two human beings genuinely trying to learn, not buy or sell, just explore those things that connect us as people and the idiosyncrasies that make us unique and beautiful.

    This is the best podcast from Lebatard..the main show is too chaotic for me now but I will always come back to south beach sessions

    Ramona
    Great interested view with Ramona Shelburne. I've always liked her and now I know why. Dan again shows off why he is still one ofctge best interviewers out there, sports or otherwise.

    Kenny G
    Kenny G is the most random person I ever thought that I would love. But I love him.
  • StarHayzer
    Kinship
    Dan Le Batard shows how his authentic and introspective queries can actually manifest a query inside of Greg to actually ask how you felt…about him. I love this show and most of the shows under this umbrella of Meadow Lark. You have no idea about my life, but than you for everything, people should listen. P.S. give Chris the job. Anything Billy agrees with should be vetted.
  • Dave Fresca
    Rachel Nichols
    Interview with Rachel Nichols was fantastic. Great work. This is probably my favorite show in the whole Meadowlark lineup.
  • See ya Gary
    Wiley
    The Marcellus Wiley session was one of the best I’ve heard here. Great job and I liked him before but now I’m a fan and follower.

    More Katie please - still waiting for Juju’s episode!
    These sessions just keep getting better & better.
  • baliballerz
    Cliche and egotistical
    These interviews are just rich people saying cliche things over and over again, we get it you worked so hard.
  • StatOfTheDaaaaaaaaaaaaay
    Allow the cursing
    It adds to the genuineness of the guest’s story
  • Dhull81
    Makes you feel something
    Love to hear Dan talk and get intimate with his guests. Have cried a number of times while listening to this. So honest and raw. Hits so many emotions.
  • wjchesla
    Excellent!
    The most recent shows have been great, from Pablo to Ernie…I wasn’t that familiar with the latter guest, but was still enthralled with the conversation. Keep it rolling!
  • Buzzio!
    What a pleasure!
    I’ve thoroughly enjoyed all of these interviews, especially Ernie and Greg’s. The love is real and you can tell!
  • Hippie Old White Fella
    South Beach Sessions
    The Ernie Johnson episode is even better than I hoped it would be. Highly recommend it.
  • Lamontced
    Mina episode
    Dan needs to listen more talk less
  • Ralf745
    Great conversations.
    Love SBS, however, somebody have to check the episode’s editing. Sometimes it cuts in the middle of a sentence and you don’t get to hear the end of the story.
  • Lolo13419
    Dan and Mina - PERFECTION
    The love, respect and appreciation that Dan and Mina have for one another is something really special and rare. I know that they are each wonderful dog parents right now but boy would they be awesome parents to little humans. They really listen, see the strengths in people and also empathize with peoples heartache. I love seeing Dan being so sensitive toward Mina like a big brother. These podcasts are the ones that bring out the VERY best in Dan and he brings out the very best in his guests.

    Izzy is so great
    Please bring him to the lark
  • borderTRUTH
    SBS has gotten so real
    Whatever switch has been made, these episodes have been great. more substance and more nuggets of wisdom. Thank you!
  • Harvey DanDan
    Samson
    Hi David. Your correction of Dan’s introduction of you is a perfect example why people have a pre-conceived notion of you
  • Skolbear
    Dan
    "We're not for sale, we're for rent" is so not the flex you think it is. I think you've confused the true definition of freedom with the American understanding of the term. You're censoring for mass appeal. You're diluting the product that got you to the top of the medium to placate your corporate partners. You're tapping David frickin Samson to lead your company's finances. You are somehow now even more establishment than you were at ESPN. I get it, this is the real world and this thing needs to be profitable. But I bought the vision for Meadowlark. I should have known Skipper would just find the closest possible situation to the Mickey days. One orated essay per mass shooting doesn't do much for me. You had a chance to do something special. You are choosing mediocrity and it makes me sad.

    SOB Beach
    JuJu, Samson, and Stu please…would like to hear a session with Mike Ryan-Ruiz as well.. pretty sure his mom died when he was a kid or something like that. How do you think that shaped his masculinity?
  • Mr. Southbeach
    These sessions are on fire.
    We need the the SBS with Stugotz.
  • TRoss671
    Thank you Dan! (and guests)
    It’s been nice to “get the show” and care about these people, then I get to hear their true vulnerabilities. Keep it up, love you guys.
  • T3lvis
    Time to get real
    Thanks, Dan, for your recent more open interviews. Can’t wait for you to go deep with Mike Ryan, Pablo, Mina and more.
  • Mardigahhhh
    Sobbin’ it!
    I always enjoy these long form interviews but the last two have been exceptional. Hearing Dan and Greg get emotional with each other is heartwarming. Is this sort of emotion Zagacki what we need? You know what? Maybe

    The Draft Kings Network sounder is TOO LOUD!!!!!!
  • beaves5992
    SBS I great but needs better mics.
    Why do South Beach sessions sound 35% quieter than the main show? I want to listen to these interviews but I can’t hear a word he is saying and I’m wearing headphones. Fix it please
  • Loyal 300
    Pat McAfee
    You have to try and get him on a SBS! He has a massive following that would love the pirate ship!
  • Thebadguy127
    Truly great!
    I’m here for all of it. Love me some lebatard & friends.

    This podcast helped me regrow my hair
    I used to be bald but after listening to South Beach Sessions I somehow have started to regrow my hair. Not on my head, of course, more in the nose, ear, and neck areas, but still I’ll take it.

    Superb Sam Shields interview
    Thank you for your insight, Sam. From honestly discussing the joy of your rise into the NFL to honestly revealing the dirty business side (Drew Rosenhaus specifically), great stuff. Best of luck to you, kind sir.

    Dan, Thank you for the Heather McGhee Interview. This conversation is really important. Good to know that there’s a person who has completed so much work that others can use to make further changes.

    Weirdest thing!
    I just started Kenny Maybe’s podcast Sunday and I heard him interview Aubrey Plaza! Then low and behold Monday’s hours 1,2,and postgame happened! Get her on the pod!
  • Npz1978
    Great conversations!!
    This show is excellent! It’s become one of my favorite shows for listening to informative and entertaining discussions. Along with “Can We Please Talk” (which talks to reporters, writers and newsmakers), this is one of my favorite shows to listen to!
