Former New York Giants star Tiki Barber and his wife, Traci Johnson, are launching a new podcast focused on competitive cheerleading and youth sports parenting.

"Double Down on Cheer with Tiki and Traci" debuts today and will release new episodes weekly. The show is produced by Audacy; Barber works for the radio company as a midday show host on WFAN.

“Every week, Tiki and Traci will dive into the high-stakes world of competitive cheerleading, youth sports parenting, and elite travel athletics. Drawing on Tiki’s experience as a professional athlete and Traci’s firsthand perspective as a dedicated cheer mom, the pair explore the challenges, triumphs, and often hilarious realities of raising young athletes.

For veteran cheer parents, those navigating travel team sports, or those who appreciate intense rivalry, they will break down the absurd athleticism of competitive cheer—contrasting football grit with high-flying stunts. Each episode features real-world youth sports advice, parenting strategies, hilarious stories on surviving competition weekends, and expert interviews with sports psychologists, nutritionists, and industry leaders.

The show’s first guest will be Nicole “Snooki” Polizzi of “Jersey Shore” fame; her daughter cheers out of the same gym as the Barbers’ daughters.
