In the NEW episode, number 1399, Kyle Fansler circles back to a conversation with Christian Polanco, co-host of the Cooligans Podcast.
A stand-up comedian, Christian Polanco is not your run-of-the-mill member of the soccer media landscape. In fact, he hardly considers himself a part of that group at all. However, Polanco and co-host Alexis Guerreros take the complexity of the beautiful game and make it into comedy.
Polanco discusses all kinds of things about how his time as a comedian opened doors into the soccer world:
- The role of the FIFA video games in developing his fandom.
- Finding a Premier League side to support.
- Starting out as a comedian.
- Bridging the gap between comedy and sports.
- The role of NYCFC in his career development.
- Asking Patrick Vieira a bold question.
- Going to Germany to play soccer.
- Also, much more.
