Our Editor's Take

The Pat McAfee Show talks sports with high energy, loud volume, and no brakes. Few hosts can match the enthusiasm Pat McAfee brings to his show. With his distinct voice and trademark tank top, McAfee addresses the latest football, wrestling, and other sports news. This is the podcast version of his ESPN show.

McAfee was a punter and kickoff specialist with the Indianapolis Colts for eight seasons and played in two Pro Bowls. He later became a college football and NFL commentator and analyst. He makes regular appearances on College GameDay and Get Up with Mike Greenberg. McAfee also commentates on professional wrestling and has wrestled in several WWE matches. He's been a stand-up comedian and professional baseball player as well. But today, he's most famous for The Pat McAfee Show.

A high-profile podcast in the news, The Pat McAfee Show boasts an unrivaled schedule of guests. McAfee talks with legendary head coaches, the best players, and ESPN analysts. He is an expert interviewer, asking thoughtful questions that prompt fascinating answers. McAfee and his cohosts combine these insights with humor, applause, and lighthearted jabs. The result is an addictive show where every conversation entertains. By the third hour, banter often devolves into whatever topic fits the moment.

The Pat McAfee Show rotates a diverse group of cohosts and guests to offer their own color. Some are former NFL players. A.J. Hawk won Super Bowl XLV as a Green Bay Packers linebacker. Darius Butler played with McAfee as a Colts cornerback and safety.

Acclaimed quarterback Aaron Rodgers appears on the show every football season's Tuesday. Rodgers announced his move to the New York Jets on the show. He also gave fans regular updates on his progress after he tore his Achilles heel. Other cohosts add offbeat comments and introduce hilarious tangents. The show's unorthodox methods built a strong fanbase that thrives on recurring jokes.

The Pat McAfee Show podcast continues to grow in popularity. Its energetic pacing and bold approach to sports talk create an irreverent, irresistible show. New episodes debut weekdays, each lasting two and a half hours or longer.
