Are you new to comedy podcasts, overwhelmed by the array of options, and wondering where to begin?

Some of my recent favorites include:
What is rain, if not gunshots from heaven?
A night time soap opera.
Even as a loyal listener of the podcast, Id be hard-pressed to pinpoint their origins.
Its a testament to how entertainingAFEis that theyre still fun to read when completely devoid of explanation.
This format is a roundtable discussion that draws inspiration from the world of fantasy sports.
When the podcast debutedback in September 2016, this format was its main draw.
The underlying idea seemed so obvious and perfect, it was hard to believe it hadnt been done already.
Today, the shows appeal stems as much from this breezy dynamic as it does from the drafts themselves.
For the uninitiated, diving in at either of these points would make for an underwhelming first impression.
Incidentally, I just did it there, when I used the word esoteric.
With these four at the helm, this nearly three-year-old episode feels like it could have been recorded yesterday.
but it is spiritually and tonally the same show.
Its worth noting that none of this works unless the podcast is also funny.
But for creatingAll Fantasy Everything, too.
