Behind the Mic provides a roundup of recent news regarding on-air talent, including new deals, departures, and assignments compiled from press releases and reports around the industry. In this week's edition, Emmy winning Katie Nolan returns with a yet-to-be-named ESPN podcast, Fox Sports adds Carolina Panther tight end Greg Olsen as game analyst, Charlie Weis joins SiriusXM's roster, famed U.S. Olympic medalist Bode Miller joins NBC's Winter Olympics plans, and more.
Emmy winning Katie Nolan will return to the airwaves with a yet-to-be-named ESPN podcast, launching Jan. 10th. Also in process with the ESPN team to develop her own digital show, Nolan will contribute to multiple digital platforms and regularly lend her perspective to additional studio show appearances. Last month, ESPN announced it had hired Nolan away from Fox Sports. Nolan will also continue to appear on various ESPN programs, as she has done already over the past month .
.On the heels of pairing the NFL's famous twins, Tiki and Ronde Barber in the broadcast booth earlier this season, Fox Sports adds Carolina Panther tight end Greg Olsen Sunday, Nov. 19 as game analyst. Olsen joins Kevin Burkhardt, Charles Davis and Pam Oliver, as the Los Angeles Rams visit the Minnesota Vikings at U.S. Bank Stadium. The addition of Olsen to the broadcast booth occurs for one game only, Week 11, during his team's bye week. This marks the third time in the network's history that an active NFL player steps into the booth as a full game analyst during the regular season, succeeding Matt Hasselbeck (2014) and Marcus Allen (1994). Olsen was selected by the Chicago Bears in the 2007 NFL Draft as the 31st pick overall. After four strong seasons, he was traded to the Carolina Panthers in 2011 .
Longtime NFL coach Charlie Weis will be joining SiriusXM's roster of NFL analysts on the SiriusXM NFL Radio channel. Weis will debut on November 10 and can be heard every Friday on Airing It Out with co-host Bruce Murray (10:00 a.m. - 12:00 p.m. ET). Weis won three Super Bowls as a highly respected offensive coordinator for the New England Patriots (XXXVI, XXXVIII, XXXIX), and a fourth title as an assistant coach with the New York Giants under Bill Parcells (XXV). He also served as the offensive coordinator for the New York Jets and Kansas City Chiefs

Miller worked with NBC Sports on its alpine skiing coverage for six events last season

In addition to his on-air boxing analyst duties, Kriegel will do long-form story-telling, and video and print essays, on a wide array of subjects, including boxing and the NBA. His contributions will appear on a variety of ESPN platforms including ESPN.com, ESPN The Magazine and numerous television networks as a commentator. Kriegel is an Emmy Award winning television broadcaster and journalist
