Bill Simmons, formerly of ESPN fame, won’t start TV work on HBO until early 2016. But Simmons’ popular podcast, The BS Report, will return (under a new name) on Thursday, Oct. 1.
“FYI: my podcast returns on October 1st. New name, new sponsors,” Simmons tweeted out on Aug. 24.

Simmons has actually been keeping his fanbase up to date on this season’s betting line contest with Iacono through his Instagram.
