About the Show
Knoxville’s No.1 Tennessee vols PODCAST 👉
This podcast that covers the Tennessee Volunteers is different. It has a different format and a different purpose than any other in the Tennessee Vols sports media landscape. The daily goal is to both inform and entertain Vol fans with unique and thoughtful content. Whether it is Ryan Schumpert of Rocky Top Insider or Brent Hubbs of Volquest or Joshua Dobbs of the Tennessee Volunteers, Chase wants to create the best, unique Tennessee Volunteers sports podcast in East Tennessee and beyond.
Sportswriting and sports podcasting are his passion. Chase is fortunate enough to be able to have thoughtful, fun conversations each day with so many different people from so many different worlds in Tennessee Vols sports media that he cannot imagine doing anything else any other day. The Chase Thomas Podcast is the one-stop shop for Vols sports fans who want to get a little bit smarter every day.
Chase grew up in Stone Mountain, Georgia just outside of Atlanta. He attended Parkview High School, where he got to watch the Panthers three-peat in football in the early 2000s as a young sports fan. This period in his youth likely jump-started his passion for covering sports. Chase also earned his Bachelor’s degree from the University of North Georgia in journalism. He loved his time as a Nighthawk, but he always had the Big School Itch. In 2020, he finally elected to scratch that itch and enrolled at the University of Tennessee, Everything School HQ. In the fall of 2022, he earned his Master’s degree from UTK in Strategic & Digital Communications. That same fall, Chase married the love his life, Samantha, and still resides in Knoxville with his lovely wife and Khaleesi The Dog.
“Chase Thomas is one of my favorite up-and-coming guys in sports media. He covers a little bit of anything and everything in the sports world, a 2017 sports renaissance man. You’ll find NFL, hoops, wrestling, the occasional movie review, and more here, and Chase does a great job lining up interesting guests.” - Brandon Anderson / Medium
Who is Chase Thomas?
The sports Rennaisance Man Himself
Chase Thomas has been at this for a while. For as long as he can remember, Chase has known exactly what he wanted to do when he grew up. Chase loved to read, write and talk. Naturally, those passions drew him to journalism. More specifically, sports journalism. He always had his favorite sportswriters, sports radio hosts and later sports podcasters. Chase read and listened to them all and dreamed about one day following in their footsteps in the sports media industry.
So he did.
Except, he did it his way. The Chase Thomas Podcast was started as an independent, long-term passion project for Chase. After a fantastic two-year run with Blue Wire, The Chase Thomas Podcast is once again an independent, long-term passion project for Chase. By remaining independent, Chase is still able to create the show he wants to create each and every day that he hopes Tennessee Vol fans will love and listen to daily.
