GEORGE TOWN, GRAND CAYMAN, MARCH 15 — Rug Radio is thrilled to announce a new partnership with Sorare, the popular free-to-play fantasy sports game, leveraging officially licensed NFTs from the Premier League, NBA and MLB, and the launch of a new sports vertical with lead creator Buster Scher.
As part of this partnership, Rug Radio will be working with Sorare to bring exclusive benefits and rewards to our community, as well as creating Premier League and NBA leagues over the next few months where we will be giving away prizes such as limited edition cards and tickets.
"From Day 1 of Rug Radio, we've been impressed by the quality of the content proposed and the lineup of speakers being interviewed. We believe that Rug Radio shares similar objectives to us: building and sharing products that explain the crypto product for you. Together, our goal is to bring the cultural audience (arts and sports) to collecting online, through great experiences, content and games.”
In addition to the partnership with Sorare, Rug Radio is proud to introduce a new sports vertical led by Buster Scher, creator of The Buster Show podcast.
The Buster Show podcast features conversations with a variety of guests, including entrepreneurs, celebrities, star athletes, and other notable individuals, and covers a wide range of topics, from business and entrepreneurship to pop culture and current events.
“Farokh has been one of my best friends since I was 16 - 17 years old, and to see how he has evolved and taken this new space by storm with Rug Radio is incredible. There is an actual multi facet business here which makes it quite unique. It was a no brainer weekly partnership when the opportunity came up.”
Buster has been a broadcaster since 2015, is a host on The Crew League, and has interviewed everyone from Tom Brady to Adam Sandler to Jerry West. He is also the founder of sports media company, HoopsNation, which has over 8 million followers across Facebook, Instagram and TikTok reaching 100’s of millions of fans through his content every month.
"Sorare is one of the biggest brands operating in the NFT space with an immense user base, led by an incredible founder, Nicolas Julia. I've been a fan of the product for a while, so partnering with them made perfect sense.”
"To add on top of it, being able to work with one of my best friends and a creator I personally look up to, Buster, is an honour and something I have always wanted to do. I'm proud to be opening a sports vertical within the Rug Radio network, and excited to see how much we will grow from it."
