Development and history

Prior to signing with Fox Sports 1 (FS1) and hosting First Things First (FTF), Nick Wright was the host of What's Wright with Nick Wright?, a radio show on the Kansas City-based 610 Sports station.[1][2] After departing the station, Wright relocated to Houston, while continuing to work in sports radio, before working on television for FS1.[3]

From 2018 to 2020, Wright hosted another incarnation of his What's Wright with Nick Wright? radio show, this time on Sirius XM's Mad Dog Radio station.[4][5]

In January 2022, Fox Sports launched Fox Audio Network, a podcast network to leverage its on-air talent in the audio space.[6][7] Originally scheduled to premiere on March 1, 2022,[8] Wright's podcast ultimately premiered on March 15.[7][9] In February 2025, Wright signed his podcast away from Fox Sports over to The Volume, a podcast network founded by Colin Cowherd.[10] What's Wright? is produced by Blue Duck Media.[11]

After Wright's podcast debuted, it held the #4 ranking on the Apple Podcasts chart.[12] As of February 2025, the YouTube channel for the podcast has received over 180,000 subscribers and 32.8 million views.[13]
