JLXP - The Josh Leesman Experience
A League of Legends pro caster publicly does his homework, analyzing esports news and interviewing global experts to prep for his on-air broadcasts.
This show is a pro caster's public-facing work journal. It operates in two modes: deep-dive interviews with regional experts framed as 'prep calls' for Jatt's official broadcasts (JLXP), and weekly news analysis co-hosted with fellow caster Vedius ('Mind the gap'). The core of the show is Jatt sharing his process of getting smart on teams, players, and meta shifts with his audience.
“Unlike typical fan podcasts, JLXP's authority comes from the host's role as an active professional caster. The 'prep call' format provides a unique 'show your work' angle, giving listeners a peek into how broadcast talent prepares.”
Who hosts this show
The JLXP is hosted by Joshua ‘Jatt’ Leesman, a professional League of Legends color commentator, analyst, and former pro player and coach. The podcast features a rotating cast of guests to discuss and analyze the professional esports scene, particularly in North America (LCS), Europe (LEC), and Asia (LPL, LCK).

What you'll be asked on this show
For the 'JLXP' interview episodes, Jatt acts as a student learning in public. He frames the conversation as a 'prep call' for his own casting job, explicitly asking guests to 'teach him' about a team or player. He often references past predictions to hold guests accountable in a friendly way and uses specific, data-driven questions to guide the expert through a structured analysis of teams and player histories.
The podcast has two distinct formats. The main 'JLXP' episodes are long-form interviews with other esports experts. A recurring series, 'Mind the gap', is a more conversational co-hosted show with British caster Andrew 'Vedius' Day, focusing on weekly news and results in the LCS and LEC.
