Follow Pablo down the rabbit hole, beyond the game — every Tuesday, Thursday and Friday — on his Edward R. Murrow Award-winning video podcast.

Each week, you'll get a deep-dive "talkumentary" episode, reported by Curiosity Correspondents like Emmy Award-winning comedian Wyatt Cenac and Oscar-winning director Ezra Edelman, answering urgent questions such as: Are you smarter than an NFL quarterback? Why did Draymond Green punch his teammate? And did the government invent stuffed-crust pizza? (Journalism!)

Plus: Pablo hangs out with sports and culture "thought leaders" like Sue Bird, Action Bronson and JJ Redick — and plays Share & Tell with friends like Domonique Foxworth, Mina Kimes, Katie Nolan and Dan Le Batard (aka his boss).

How John Green Turned Celebrity into Obsessive Optimism

Mar 25 2025 46 mins  
"The Fault in Our Stars" is one of the bestselling novels of the century. Why did its author just devote five years of his life to a staggering work of non-fiction about... tuberculosis? Because John Green became a super-fan of fourth-tier English football. He employed FIFA and Belichick-level tactics to build a compassionate community on YouTube. He understood the difference betwe

Mar 21 2025 53 mins  
John Skipper, who is not on this season of The White Lotus, goes behind the scenes of his failed bid for "the evil empire" to steal the rights to March Madness.

The Earth Supremacist Party: Why Mars Sucks and the GOAT Planet Needs Us, with Dr. Kate Marvel

Mar 18 2025 47 mins  
We live in America-first times. But what if we applied that instinct to a pro-Earth party? On a break from NASA's office above the Seinfeld diner, a leading scientist visits Pablo to power-rank the human viability of our solar system — and get excited about being part of the solution... instead of Elon Musk's vision of discount Bladerunner on Mars. Plus: Pablo's recruiting trip t

Share & Severance & Tell with Katie Nolan and Michael Cruz Kayne

Mar 14 2025 48 mins  
Do they sever the actors on Severance? Does Severance cast member (!!) Michael Cruz Kayne know the secrets of Lumon? (For people who believe in spoilers, you're good through Episode 7 of Season 2.) Also: Why are we trying so hard to figure out The White Lotus? And how much would you pay, at auction, for props from your favorite show? Plus: The Pablovian Shiver Response, the weaponi

How Artificial Intelligence Is Already Changing Sports, with Daryl Morey and Sendhil Mullainathan

Mar 13 2025 52 mins  
Everyone is talking about A.I. now, but what we haven't heard is an updated, informed discussion of what, exactly, it will do to the sports world. So in our first on-stage episode, at the MIT Sloan Sports Analytics Conference, Pablo hosts an actual verified genius... and a pioneering NBA executive who gets to be sarcastically referred to as one. We discover how the Philadelphia 76e

Behind the Curtain of Distraction: We Went Undercover with the Most Creative Fans in College Hoops

Mar 11 2025 49 mins  
Nobody makes opponents miss free throws like Arizona State’s student section and their infamous Curtain of Distraction. On the brink of March Madness, we embed with the Sun Devils writers' room — and the Lorne Michaels of college basketball — to test the limits of absurdity (with a little help from the likes of Donald Glover and Mike Schur). Then we activated polyamorous conj

Mar 07 2025 48 mins  
On this week’s Share & Tell, Mina Kimes and Dan Le Batard join us to discuss DOGE cutting — and being shamed into restoring — USAID support for starving children, Colorado QB Shedeur Sanders and his suddenly tumbling draft stock, and the increasingly explicit love affair between a woman and her ChatGPT. Plus: cuckqueans, Deion’s Family Playbook, and why you should NEVER. ST

What It Means to Be Cool, with Kevin Wildes

Mar 06 2025 53 mins  
The world is in desperate need of a vibes transfusion. And so we asked Kevin Wildes — co-host of FS1's "First Things First” and professional counterbalance to Nick Wright — for something even bigger than Jordan vs. LeBron. Ol' K.W. has assembled nothing short of a master list of 71 (!) things that are, in fact, cool. And PTFO's official Cool Committee debates the door policy

The Banned Prince Documentary: Director Ezra Edelman (Finally) Speaks

Mar 04 2025 48 mins  
The best documentary filmmaker in America spent nearly five years of his life making a nine-hour masterpiece for Netflix. Which has now, officially, been cancelled. In his first sit-down interview about "The Book of Prince," director Ezra Edelman seeks catharsis — if not closure — in the battle for the truth and control over the life story of one of the biggest control freaks e
