Terrible technical problems as Akiva is stuck in his in-laws’ attic in South Florida, where Zika mosquitoes have destroyed the wifi. So a week after recording this episode, Alex and Akiva rerecord the podcast intro, in which they discuss the Olympics, Meryl Streep, summer beach reads, and writing things with other people. Once they get to […]

In today’s episode Alex proposes five new Olympic basketball competitions and Akiva makes a crazy prediction for an Olympic game in which Team U.S.A. is a 29 point favorite (and is proven correct). Then Akiva is felled by Zika Sushi (hashtag: #zikasushi) and Alex has to preview the AFC West without him. Joining Alex is Broncos fan Travis […]

We’re just 32 days from the opening of the 2016 NFL regular season, which means it’s time for the 32 Fans podcast to go back to its roots as 32 Fans in 32 Days. We kick off the 2016 previews by looking at the NFC North. Alex will blather on about Teddy B and the […]

Akiva has flown into New York and plans to get together for dinner and a live podcast recording with Alex on Thursday evening. Akiva even invites 32 Fans listeners to join him and Alex for dinner and/or a live podcast recording. Alex invites listeners who want to help preview their favorite NFL team to contact us about […]

Recorded at 5:30 in the morning, Akiva shares the last few days of his harrowing life, and then (11:20) Alex tricks Akiva into finishing the all-time NBA top 15 (which Akiva finally starts to suspect at 34:30, and only confirms at 1:03:48). The guys also try to prognosticate the 2017 NBA MVP race (47:19). (Also Alex […]

If you come to 32 Fans to hear Alex and Akiva fight, this is the episode for you. Akiva drops more #hottakes than a Trump supporter, and Alex gets madder than he ever has in podcast history. Akiva tunes out Alex’s shenanigans by reciting the rosters of the 2006 St. Louis Cardinals and talking about how much […]

Alex is excited to announce his rankings of the top 100 NBA players of all time. He also compares himself to Manu Ginobili. Meanwhile, Akiva tells everyone to watch All or Nothing (Amazon’s new docuseries on the Arizona Cardinals) and he tries to keep Wheels Wienerkur going. Alex’s mother questions Yao Ming’s ethnicity. Alex outs himself as […]

The podcast series ranking the greatest 100 movies of the last 25 years has come to a conclusion, giving Akiva and Alex time to discuss other topics. Season 6 of Game of Thrones has caused Alex to redo his all-time top TV show rankings. The guys introduce the cumulative top 19 movies of the last 25 […]

With the NBA Finals and Game of Thrones both coming off among their greatest performances ever, Akiva finally consents to discussing those topics before jumping into the top 30 of the rankings for the greatest movies of the last quarter century. Akiva also reviews Bill Simmons’ new HBO show. Alex runs through his movies that […]

Akiva and Alex try to power through their top 100 movies of the last 25 years, but Alex keeps telling embarrassing stories (one he hopes his wife never hears, the rest about how big of a nerd he was in junior high) and then Akiva threatens him not to edit them out of the podcast. […]

If you tuned in today expecting Akiva and Alex to continue ranking the top 100 movies of the last 25 years, you’re gonna have to wait one more week (which also gives you one more week to submit your own ranking to Alex and/or Akiva). This week 32 Fans welcomes special guests Mike Bloom, Jessica […]

Alex tries to rope Akiva into some NBA playoffs talk, but Akiva quit basketball when the Spurs lost in the second round (making him one of the few people who didn’t watch). Alex also tries to talk about this week’s episode of Game of Thrones, but GOT hater Akiva hasn’t even watched it yet. But Akiva […]

Alex wants to start this week’s episode by discussing Hodor and the NBA playoffs, but Akiva wants to jump right into the top 100 movies of the past 25 years, so Alex surreptitiously hits record, starting the podcast a few minutes before Akiva is ready. Once they get going the guys run into frequent diversions, […]

In this week’s episode Alex and Akiva catch up on some 32 Fans miscellany, and then at the 11:30 mark they make this week’s bet, which is on Bovada’s debut of the 2016 NFL over/unders. If you’re not interested in discussing NFL futures in May, skip ahead to 25:30, when we switch topics and welcome a […]

In Part I (iTunes) we covered the 51st to 100th greatest TV shows of all time. In Part II (iTunes) we covered the 50th to 11th best TV shows of all time (except for Akiva, who only went up to #12). So here on Part III Akiva introduces his top 11 television shows of all time before Alex […]

Akiva goes through 50 to 12 of his all time TV show rankings, with Alex providing commentary, including where he, mainstream critics and the 30+ listeners who have submitted lists have ranked the shows Akiva ranked. Alex also lists the shows he ranks 50-11 that Akiva doesn’t mention, and the guys meander down a variety of unrelated […]

Akiva and Alex started recording this morning planning to discuss the top 50 TV shows of all time, but they were so depressed about Trump that they got sidetracked. So enjoy this minisode discussing Trump, an NFL draft postmortem, a brief discussion of the NBA playoffs and Prince’s legacy, and then (if only for SEO) Game of Thrones. Then Alex […]

It’s an extra special episode this week as we go back to our roots, conducting a 32 Fans NFL Mock Draft featuring 32 fan experts (well, 31). Alex and Akiva are joined by NFL draft expert Jordan Kalish, who presents his own mock draft, risking permanent podcast banishment if it isn’t successful. A special thank […]

Alex forgot his mic, but even poor audio quality can’t temper Akiva’s excitement as he debuts the bottom half of his greatest TV shows list. Although the episode was supposed to include all 100 shows, after 2 hours we’re just halfway through, so we’ve decided to split this exciting list across two podcast episodes.

This week Alex gives his regular season NBA awards and then the guys make a bet about NBA playoff predictions. Akiva also tries translating a tweet from Millennial to English, and he orders Alex to leave the jokes to him.
