Former Cincinnati Bearcat standouts and NFL Pro Bowlers Jason and Travis Kelce are in Cincinnati, bringing their popular podcast to the Queen City.

The Kelce brothers are taping a live episode of their podcast, New Heights, at the University of Cincinnati’s Fifth Third Arena.

Both Travis and Jason are well-known figures in the football world, with Travis a 3-time Super Bowl champion and 9-time Pro Bowler with the Kansas City Chiefs,

while the recently-retired Jason was a Super Bowl champion in 2018 and a 7-time Pro Bowler during his 13-season Philadelphia Eagles career.

The arrival of the Kelce brothers back to the city where they once played college football has generated buzz around Cincinnati leading up to the event.
