The first two Netflix Original podcasts have been officially announced:

• The White House with Michael Irvin will debut on Monday, January 19;

Davidson's podcast will feature informal, unfiltered conversations filmed in his garage, offering a candid look at discussions with friends. Meanwhile, Irvin's show will focus on sports news, game analysis, and commentary, with two episodes per week and a rotating lineup of co-hosts, including former NFL All-Pro Brandon Marshall, who is also serving as a producer.

Both podcasts will follow a regular release schedule, with new episodes of The Pete Davidson Show dropping weekly on Fridays and The White House with Michael Irvin airing twice a week.
