Go Long with Tyler Dunne
A deep-dive NFL podcast that goes beyond the box score to tell the human stories behind the game through long-form journalism.
A mix of co-hosted roundtable discussions and long-form interviews focused on professional football. Episodes often feature fellow journalists, former team executives, and players to analyze team dynamics, player careers, and the business of the NFL. The show's editorial mission is to deliver independent, deeply reported stories that reveal the personalities and context behind the headlines.
“Go Long's independence is its key differentiator; it is a reader-supported venture, not beholden to league partners or major networks. This allows for a focus on long-form, investigative stories that other outlets might avoid, such as deep dives into player-coach friction or the unfiltered realities of the business.”

What you'll be asked on this show
In interviews, Tyler Dunne acts as a guide, using complimentary and affirming questions to build rapport. He allows guests to speak for long, uninterrupted stretches, focusing on uncovering the human side of athletes and their careers. Rather than aggressive pushback, he tees up broad topics or counter-arguments to let his expert guests analyze them in detail, often closing by giving them a platform to promote their own work.
The format varies between co-hosted analytical discussions and guest interviews. In co-hosted episodes, Tyler Dunne and a partner (like Jim Monos or Zach Berman) have a conversational back-and-forth, breaking down news and team situations. Interview episodes are less frequent but focus on letting the guest speak at length.
