GolfNewsRI to Launch 2nd Podcast Hosted by Morrone & Austin Cilley

GolfNewsRI is excited to announce the addition of a second podcast to the website to go along with The Golf Dudes. 

The podcast is titled “Expand Your Brand” and will be hosted by Jeff Morrone and top amateur golfer Austin Cilley at the Vintage Cigar Lounge & Club. 

“It is exciting to start this podcast and to be under the GolfNewsRI podcast network. We are super excited and thankful for Joe Calabro to let us be a part of his podcast network and wouldn’t have it any other way. Though the name doesn’t look like it, we will be a golf focused podcast that will also talk about other sports, sports betting, guests and more,” said Morrone.

Cilley is former basketball star turned top amateur golfer who has done everything from knock down jump shots to playing golf with President Donald Trump and Hall of Fame pitcher John Smoltz.

“Adding Austin to the show was a no brainer. I think our dynamic of him being an amateur golfer and myself a terrible golfer will be fun for future on course content but also to have his knowledge of the golf game and sports in general brings the podcast to another level when we discuss golf and other sports,” added Morrone. 

Recently, Austin found out that he will be inducted into the Westerly Athletic Hall of Fame and the Rhode Island College All-100th Anniversary Team. 

GolfNewsRI named him among men’s players to watch in 2023.

The additional podcast marks the start of the GolfNewsRI Podcast Network. 

“This is a really exciting time for GolfNewsRI as we continue to grow in both written content and podcasting. Expand Your Brand is not only going to just be a golf podcast, but also a business-type podcast in regards to branding, general sports and more with a total relaxed feel to it,” said GolfNewsRI co founder and CEO Joe Calabro. 

He adds, “Having Austin be part of the pod is amazing. Like many of the top amateurs in the state, Austin has been extremely supportive of GolfNewsRI from the beginning, and we are excited to be able to help him build his own brand while he can provide golf, business, basketball and life insights and stories that you just can’t find anywhere else on a weekly basis.” 

The first episode of Expand Your Brand will air on Wednesday, January 18.
