Los Angeles CA, USA—Benztown + McVay Media Podcast Networks announces that it will produce and market First Match with Jesse Kage, a podcast for professional wrestling fans that goes behind the scenes with wrestling’s superstars to tell their first-hand accounts of their lives and experiences in the professional wrestling world. Popular radio host Jesse Kage – whose rabid fan base is called the “Kage Kult” - sits down each week with professional wrestling’s biggest stars of today and legends of the past to discuss the beginnings of their careers, from the dream of being a pro wrestler, to their training and ultimately, their first match.
