DeVonta Smith on his journey to greatness and frustrations with Eagles offense

Takeoff with John Clark: Philly Sports Interviews is a conversation series that goes beyond the box score and the post-game soundbite. Hosted by veteran Philadelphia sports personality John Clark, this podcast offers a unique, relaxed entry point into the lives and minds of the city's most prominent athletes, coaches, and personalities. The format is intentionally straightforward: John sits down for one-on-one discussions that prioritize depth and personal reflection over rapid-fire analysis. Listeners will hear candid stories about career-defining moments, the pressures of playing in a passionate market, and the off-field interests that shape these individuals. It’s a chance to understand the person behind the jersey, whether they're a rookie finding their footing or a Hall of Famer reflecting on a legacy. For any fan who wants to feel like they're pulling up a chair for an insightful, behind-the-scenes talk, this podcast provides exactly that. New episodes deliver long-form interviews that capture the authentic voice of Philadelphia sports, courtesy of NBC Sports Philadelphia.
