KANSAS CITY CHIEFS
PODCASTS
Only Weird Games: Joshua Brisco, Seth Keysor and Nate Taylor kicked off the week talking about the sky-high expectations of Rashee Rice, despite him returning from a season-ending knee injury in 2024. Later on in the week, they discussed the questions that remain unanswered along the interior offensive line after the trading of Joe Thuney.
KC Laboratory: Matt Lane and Kent Swanson continued their series breaking down the top 10 at each position, this time ranking quarterbacks, with Patrick Mahomes coming in at number one, of course. Craig Stout joined Matty on Wednesday to go over the tight ends and whether or not Travis Kelce is still number one.
That Football Show: On their Saturday show, Matt Verdarame and Tucker Franklin spoke on the evergreen conversation about how the Mahomes-Kelce duo is already the greatest of all time. In their second episode, they discussed why Creed Humphrey’s standing in an NFL top 100 list shows why lists like these suck.
With all of our shows and team of hosts (10+ shows, 15+ hosts), we are confident we have something for everyone. Listen to the highest-ranked Chiefs podcast network since 2021 on Apple or Spotify, or watch on YouTube.
