A meaningless exhibition tournament where people get worn out and can’t compete at their highest level in the games that actually matter. A psyop designed to make people more nationalistic and less likely to think of themselves as citizens of earth
A good show, but these hosts say “UH” so much it borders on distracting. Can only handle listening for a few minutes
Darragh is a great host and does a great job keeping things light without rambling about himself like the EW podcast. Favorite overall podcast besides FT.
Overall a great podcast
These guys may not have inside information to help predict moves, but they’re knowledgeable enough to break down transactions after the fact and seem to know something useful about every player. The only downside of the show is that they’re not easy to listen to.
