We'll keep the throat-clearing to one sentence: FantasyCast is live right now, and your draft is a few weeks out.
Connect your league today and your league gets fully produced, four-host talk-radio episodes about your team — real matchups, real standings, real names. Each one lands as a public link your leaguemates tap and listen to with zero accounts and zero excuses.
Most people find us thinking about weekly recaps. Those are the backbone. But the two episodes worth moving on this month are the ones bracketing draft night, and they have a hard expiration date.
The two episodes you can't make later
The Season Preview runs before your draft. No stats, because there aren't any yet — just draft buzz, bold predictions, rivalry callbacks, and takes about who's overthinking their keeper. It's the preseason hype show for a league of twelve people who think they're smarter than each other. Play it in the group chat the week of your draft and watch what happens.
The Draft Recap runs the morning after. Every pick picked apart: the reaches, the steals, the guy who took a kicker too early, the positional run nobody saw coming. Every team gets a letter grade with a justification. It is, reliably, the single most-forwarded episode a league gets all year.
Here's the thing about both: they're keyed to a night that happens once. You can generate a Week 6 recap in Week 9 if you're late. You cannot generate the hype show for a draft that already happened, and a Draft Recap loses most of its charge once everyone's moved on to waivers. If your draft is in three weeks, that's your window.
Step 1: Connect your league (2 of the 5 minutes)
Sleeper leagues: type in a Sleeper username. That's it. We pull your leagues, you pick one, done. Sleeper's data is open, so there's no password, no authorization dance, nothing to revoke later.
ESPN leagues: you'll need your league ID and two session cookies from your ESPN account. It's a copy-paste job — the setup screen walks you through exactly where to find them, and it takes about two minutes the first time. Not as slick as Sleeper's one-field flow, we'll admit it. Worth it the moment the first episode drops.
Step 2: Credits
One credit equals one episode — Season Preview, Draft Recap, weekly broadcast, or Season Recap, all the same price. Generating the audio costs nothing extra.
- $15 — a single broadcast. Try it, hear your league on the air, decide from there.
- $120 — 10 broadcasts. The half-season pass.
- $200 — 20 broadcasts. The full-season pass, and 20 is not a round number picked out of a hat: it's the Season Preview before your draft, the Draft Recap the morning after, all 17 weekly broadcasts from Week 1 through the championship, and the Season Recap once the trophy's handed out. The entire arc, $10 an episode.
Credits never expire and nothing is earmarked, so a pass bought today covers draft night and everything after it. Start with a single broadcast if you want to hear one before committing.
Step 3: Generate (this is the one-click part)
You hit generate. Here's what happens in the next minute or two:
Your league's actual data — every matchup, every score, the standings, the waiver claims, the trades, the full draft board — gets turned into a script for a four-host broadcast crew, then performed in four distinct voices and stitched into one episode. If you've heard sports talk radio, you know these guys already:
- The Anchor runs the show and keeps everyone honest.
- The Analyst has the numbers and will use them against you.
- The Homer is all conviction, zero accountability.
- The Commish cites league history like case law.
From button-press to finished episode: about a minute or two. Not "we'll email you when it's ready." Not "check back this afternoon." You press the button with your coffee still hot, and it's still hot when the episode exists.
One honest opinion, since you'll hear an episode yourself soon enough: the four-host format is the whole product. A single narrator reading your scores is a spreadsheet with a voice. Four personalities disagreeing about your league — taking sides, holding grudges, being wrong at full volume — is a show. We'd rather ship a booth that argues than a robot that recites, and that's the hill this product was built on.
Step 4: Drop the link
Every episode gets a public share page. You post one link in the group chat, your leaguemates tap it, and they're listening. No app to download, no account to create, no "it's asking me to sign in" replies from the guy who won't install anything. The barrier between your league and its broadcast is one tap. We built it that way because a league podcast only works if everyone actually hears it.
Then the season starts
Once Week 1 is in the books, the rhythm takes over: Monday night ends the week, Tuesday morning the episode exists. Your league's first weekly broadcast is in the chat before anyone's finished arguing about it.
And Week 1 has something no other week does — it's the only week where everyone is undefeated until they're not. The preseason trash talk is still unfalsified, every draft pick is still a genius move, and the guy who's about to go 3-11 genuinely believes. That episode captures five months of confidence colliding with the first real results. Skip it and you can still have a great season of episodes, but that particular one is gone.
Set up before your draft and you don't have to think about any of it again until Tuesday.
The checklist
- Sign up.
- Connect: Sleeper username, or ESPN league ID + two cookies.
- Grab a pack of credits.
- Before your draft: generate the Season Preview. Drop it in the chat.
- Morning after the draft: generate the Draft Recap. Stand back.
- Then every Tuesday, one click, all season.
The booth is open and draft season is here. Set up your league's broadcast — draft night only happens once.
