SuperMeta: Recent Episodes
Mark Casper, Taylor Hendrick, & Chris Randazzo
In this episode of Super Meta, Mark and Chris break down the new WNYC podcast series, 'American Fiasco,' hosted by Roger Bennett of the 'Men in Blazers' podcast. 'American Fiasco' tells the true story of how the U.S. Men's National Team crashed out of the 1998 World Cup in spectacular fashion. Mark and Chris talk about their favorite episodes, characters from the story, and why they love Roger Bennett so much.
In this episode we had the awesome opportunity to interview Chris Swinney, host of That One Time On Tour (TOTOT). We had a blast talking podcasts with Chris, getting to know more about his podcast, and even reached our SuperMeta Moment!
