In each episode of The Jim Brockmire Podcast, Azaria as Brockmire will interview a celebrity guest, including Charles Barkley, Joe Buck, Don Cheadle, Steve Cohen, Colin Cowherd, Rich Eisen, Jemele Hill, Dan Patrick, Ben Stiller and Joy Taylor. The Jim Brockmire Podcast is the first new project from Meadowlark Media, the content company created by former ESPN president and DAZN chairman John Skipper, and former ESPN TV and radio host Dan Le Batard. Azaria played Jim Brockmire, a character he originated in a web series, for four seasons on IFC from 2017 to 2020. "I honestly can't believe we get to add someone with Hank Azaria's credentials to our stable of stupidity,” said Le Batard in a statement. “He's the voice actor for our generation on The Simpsons, an impossibly funny actor and, best of all, our friend. I can't wait for Brockmire, soaked in booze and drugs, to urinate on every single sacred thing in sports. Hank, Sheena and Dave are going to cook up something special… I just hope it's not meth."

The NBA legend made the revelation while speaking to Hank Azaria's character on the The Jim Brockmire Podcast. Barkley didn’t say when the offer was made, only that, “I like football, but I ain’t gonna be one of these jackasses get on TV and act like he know about football.” ProFootballTalk's Mike Florio delved into Barkley's comments and learned from a source that the offer was made when Monday Night Football was on ABC (https://profootballtalk.nbcsports.com/2021/04/12/abc-once-offered-charles-barkley-a-halftime-sport-on-mnf/) in the early 2000s and that it was for Barkley to do a halftime spot.
