Kirk Minihane announces the end of ‘The Kirk Minihane Show’

Kirk Minihane announced on Tuesday that The Kirk Minihane Show is over. The Barstool Sports podcast host took an indefinite hiatus last week for mental health reasons and returned to say his daily show is ending permanently after six and a half years. “This is the last episode of The Kirk Minihane Show,” Minihane said. “We’re done. This is not a bit. I’m not coming back in three months. Dave and I are good. We’re done. I think The Case, which I’ve been working on stuff the last few days, I really enjoy doing it. It’s a new muscle. I want to make it bigger. Minihane posted on Nov. 16 that he was taking time off, describing the previous months as some of the lowest he could remember. It marked his fourth known mental health-related break since 2018, going back to his days at WEEI in Boston. Portnoy brought Minihane to Barstool in May 2019 after a messy exit from the Boston sports radio scene, and KMS became one of the company’s flagship podcasts. Minihane gave Barstool something it didn’t really have at the time, which was a daily, must-listen tentpole with a fanbase that treated the show like a sports team. And now, after six and a half years at the top, Minihane is walking away on his own terms. “I just don’t want to do it,” he explained. “I don’t want it in my head anymore. So, we’re done. It’s over.”.
