Savannah James is making waves with her new podcast “Everybody’s Crazy” featuring longtime friend April McDaniel. The dynamic duo dives deep into personal stories, giving listeners a peek into Savannah’s more candid side. Savannah describes the experience as “freeing,” revealing a whole new dimension of herself to fans. This podcast promises to be a rollercoaster ride of emotions and anecdotes, offering a fresh perspective on the life of this prominent figure.
The partnership between Savannah James and April McDaniel brings together two distinct voices, offering a unique blend of perspectives and experiences.
In an exclusive interview with PEOPLE, the longtime friends and self-proclaimed “private” women detail their 15-year friendship and the decision to launch the new series, which implores listeners to call in with their craziest stories.
Savannah, 37, whose husband is NBA superstar LeBron James, “vividly” remembers meeting McDaniel at an NBA event in Las Vegas.
“I was very pregnant and I remember she was like, ‘Girl, what are you doing? Come over here and sit down,’ so she was taking care of me,” Savannah recalls.
“The funny part is we’ve never talked about doing a podcast together,” says McDaniel. “Never. We are very private in our own respected natures. Savannah’s always been very private with her life and so have I.”
McDaniel, the founder of Crown & Conquer, the creative agency behind events like Drake’s epic 30th birthday bash and the 2019 immersive exhibit for Rihanna’s Savage x Fenty at New York Fashion Week, met Savannah through working with LeBron, 39.
“I’ve been working with LeBron and Maverick and that whole team for over 20 years,” McDaniel explains. “So really I’d seen Savannah in passing and we kind of built a friendship.”
The co-hosts bonded over the years, especially through relocating from Miami to Cleveland, and then to Los Angeles in 2018 as LeBron moved NBA teams. “We connected when we were in Miami and started to cultivate our relationship and learn a little bit more about each other. But LA is where we really spent more time together,” says Savannah.
Savannah James’ podcast journey is a transformation from hoops to mics, revealing a more personal side that’s both refreshing and inspiring. The evolution of her public persona showcases the power of authenticity in connecting with an audience, paving the way for deeper conversations and genuine interactions.
