Podcasts are the new drug. Fact. But as with anything addictive, they come with their restrictions: like the pain of seeing a ”you have less than xx amount of data remaining” message pop-up on your screen while on a sequel that scratches the right itch.
What if we told you that those days are OVER?
Yes, a zero-data costing sports podcast has emerged and we are all thumbs-up on it. With the name ‘United Fans’, one might think this is an only-sports lovers channel or even worse, one of those soccer-crazed fans channels. To our surprise, this one blends entertainment and sports so well, you won’t even feel like you are on a sports podcast.
ABOUT UNITED FANS (UFP)
The sports fan channel phenomenon is a visual representation of a fun, engaging community hub for all football fans and newly aspiring sports fans who enjoy good banter on and off the field. Providing exciting engaging content around sport & lifestyle commentary on and off the field. A unique platform that engages with both football-centric fans and the casual ‘I support the winning team’ type of audience all in the spirit of good fun and banter.
The hosts of this podcast, Themba Boyi & Arthur Bwanakawa have mastered the art of delivering sports insight while adding a robust sense of humour to it. Themba and Arthur are like two peas in a pod, with both of them having a strong background of public broadcasting and a good sports & entertainment background.
Apart from the actual episodes, the podcast has other 2 weekly segments namely; Weekly Bulletin & Derby Clash. To say the least, this is the perfect football and sports podcast for people who really don’t care too much – or even at all – about football.
With its unique segments that are divided into four: First Half, Half Time, Second Half & Extra Time, viewers get a match-like experience, except this time around, the moemish moments and opinions are the order of the episode.
