32 Fans began as a daily NFL preseason podcast, morphed into a weekly NFL podcast, and now features Akiva Wienerkur (@keev26) and Alexander Chester (@achester99) arguing about sports, pop culture, politics, and any other hot takes they fancy.
Akiva Wienerkur and Alexander Chester
The 32 Fans podcast is a fantastic podcast hosted by Alex and Akiva who have great chemistry and provide top-notch sports knowledge. Their episodes are always hilarious, entertaining, and interesting, making it a must-listen for any sports fan. The off-season nonsense and diverse range of topics covered make the show even more entertaining. Overall, this podcast receives a 10/10 rating and comes highly recommended.
One of the best aspects of The 32 Fans podcast is the chemistry between the hosts, Alex and Akiva. Their banter and playful arguments make for great entertainment, whether they're talking about sports or non-sports topics. They also have an impressive depth of sports knowledge, providing insightful analysis and discussions throughout each episode. Additionally, their inclusion of listener participation in various events like bracket competitions adds an interactive element to the show that is both engaging and enjoyable.
However, one potential downside to The 32 Fans podcast is that it may not appeal to everyone. While it does cover a wide range of topics beyond just football during the off-season, such as movies and pop culture rankings, some listeners who are solely interested in NFL content may not find these episodes as appealing or informative. Additionally, there may be moments where some listeners disagree with the hosts' opinions or find certain discussions uninteresting.
In conclusion, The 32 Fans podcast is an exceptional show that offers a combination of sports knowledge, entertainment value, and humorous banter between hosts Alex and Akiva. Despite potentially not catering to all NFL fans due to its varied content during the off-season, it remains an enjoyable listen for anyone looking for a mix of sports talk and pop culture discussions. With its great chemistry between the hosts and consistently entertaining episodes, this podcast deserves high praise.
