It won’t be called the “B.S. Report” anymore, but Bill Simmons’s podcast is coming back October 1.
Simmons, the sports blogger-turned-commentator who recently landed at HBO after an unceremonious exit from ESPN, announced the news on Twitter on Monday morning.

Details about Simmons’s other ventures with HBO are still few and far between. The cable network said in July that Simmons would begin hosting a talk show in 2016 and that it would work with him on other stuff, including the aforementioned podcast and documentaries, too. But there was no mention at the time of Simmons working on a reboot of Grantland, the sports and pop culture site he created for ESPN.

Will you support Vox’s explanatory journalism?
Most news outlets make their money through advertising or subscriptions. But when it comes to what we’re trying to do at Vox, there are a couple reasons that we can't rely only on ads and subscriptions to keep the lights on.
First, advertising dollars go up and down with the economy. We often only know a few months out what our advertising revenue will be, which makes it hard to plan ahead.
Second, we’re not in the subscriptions business. Vox is here to help everyone understand the complex issues shaping the world — not just the people who can afford to pay for a subscription. We believe that’s an important part of building a more equal society. We can’t do that if we have a paywall.
That’s why we also turn to you, our readers, to help us keep Vox free. If you also believe that everyone deserves access to trusted high-quality information, will you make a gift to Vox today?
