Quality Control's Vocal Podcast Network launches season two of It Needed To Be Said

Vocal Podcast Network has launched Season 2 of the It Needed To Be Said podcast, created and hosted by NFL superstar wide receiver Tyreek Hill. Along with co-host and best friend Julius Collins, the podcast duo is back on the microphone with a new 20 episode season and new episodes will be released every Saturday. The podcast will feature celebrities and other notable personalities to speak on the most heated discussions in sports, entertainment and culture. Kevin “Coach K” Lee, co-founder of Vocal, calls the show a “truth-teller. You won’t find a more raw, unfiltered podcast in sports media.”

According to Hill, the show’s purpose is "to bring in your favorite athlete, celebrity, politician, whatever the case may be, so you can connect with them on another level” and “to tell people’s stories, to tell people’s journeys, how they got to where they’re at.” Collins adds, “no teleprompters, just genuine conversation, allowing different guests a platform to be vulnerable, so they can see more than a helmet or a name on the back of a jersey.”

Season 2, Episode 1 of It Needed To Be Said features guest Brandon Marshall — the legendary former NFL receiver and host of the successful podcast, I Am Athlete. Hill, Collins and Marshall discuss sports, media, podcast drama, and most importantly, who has better hands? In the second episode, the conversation takes a more serious tone, discussing how business partnerships fall apart, and Brandon’s passion for spreading awareness of mental health issues.

It Needed To Be Said is available now on YouTube, Spotify, Apple Podcasts, Amazon Music, and other major podcast platforms. New episodes drop every Saturday. Future guests include sports and entertainment icons, like Marshawn Lynch, Antonio Brown, Jorge Masvidal, Michael Vick, and more.
