The Stephen A. Smith Show
Stephen A. Smith & SiriusXM
Stephen A. Smith is back with a fresh spin on his hit podcast — dropping new episodes of his SiriusXM radio show Straight Shooter with Stephen A. Smith™ every Thursday on all podcast platforms. This time, he's going BEYOND THE WORLD OF SPORTS, taking listener calls, and talking about everything on his mind — politics, pop culture, social issues, entertainment, news, and whatever else is making noise that week. Expect real talk, sharp takes, and big conversations with people you know (and some you’ll want to know). It’s Stephen A. like you’ve never heard him — multifaceted, unpredictable, and always on point.
