Questions

How this works

If something here is wrong or missing, tell us — this page exists to stop you having to guess.

The show

What if I don't like the podcast?

You can change it, and you don't have to wait for us. Every week the commissioner picks how much of a hand they want in the next episode.

Add commissioner notes — about two minutes. Tell Knox and Remy what to hit: who deserves it, what the group chat has been arguing about, which trade was a robbery. They write the show around what you give them.

Or edit and write the script — ten minutes or more. Read the whole episode before it's recorded, change any line, or paste a script you wrote yourself. They'll read it word for word, up to 2,500 words.

Rating an episode helps too. Your rating and notes go straight into the next script, so "more time on the close games, less on the standings" changes the next show rather than disappearing into a form.

When does my episode arrive?

At the drop time your commissioner picked — Tuesday, Wednesday or Thursday morning, lunchtime or evening. Whichever they choose, it is the same time every week and always after the week's games are final.

If you've chosen to add commissioner notes, we email you when the week opens and hold the show until you've written them. The deadline is shortly before your league's own drop time, and the email tells you exactly when. Miss it and the episode records without your notes rather than not arriving at all, because a league with no show is worse than one with an unedited show.

How long is an episode?

Usually ten to sixteen minutes, depending on how much happened. A week with three blowouts and no trades is shorter than one with a bench disaster and a lopsided deal.

Can I change the name of the show?

Yes, in Show Setup. It defaults to your league's name plus "Fantasy Football Podcast", and the hosts say whatever you set in the open of every episode.

The hosts themselves are always Knox and Remy — they're the show, the same way a real podcast has the same two people on it every week.

Do the hosts ever make things up?

They are not supposed to, and the rules against it are specific rather than general. They can't invent a statistic, invent a person, or claim to know what a manager was thinking.

If you hear something wrong, rate the episode and say so. That's the fastest way it reaches us.

The hosts keep using team names and it's getting repetitive.

Add nicknames in your league settings. Each manager can have several, separated by commas — "Remington, Remy, Remdawg" — and the hosts will use them the way a friend would rather than saying one name identically every time.

Without nicknames they fall back on team names every time.

Connecting your league

Which fantasy platforms work?

Sleeper and ESPN. Yahoo is in progress.

If you don't see your platform, let us know through the waitlist or the contact form.

How do I connect a Sleeper league?

Sign up, then on the "Connect your league" step choose Sleeper. Open your league on sleeper.com in another tab, copy the full URL from your browser's address bar, and paste it into the League URL box. We'll pull your league ID from it.

How do I connect a public ESPN league?

The same way — on the "Connect your league" step choose ESPN, open your league on fantasy.espn.com in another tab, and paste the full URL from your address bar. We'll pull your league ID from it and check we can read the league.

If it works, you're done and you'll never see the cookie step below.

How do I connect a PRIVATE ESPN league?

Connect your league, choose ESPN, and follow the cookie instructions there — they walk you through it step by step.

ESPN has no official way for an app to connect to your league: no login button and no permission screen. Those two cookies are the only authentication that exists, which is why every product that syncs ESPN leagues asks for them.

Do the ESPN cookies expire?

Roughly once a year, and immediately if you change your ESPN password or sign out of ESPN everywhere.

When that happens we can no longer read your league, so episodes stop. Nothing is lost — your league, past episodes, picks and badges all stay exactly as they are.

To fix it, go to Manage → ESPN Connection and paste in a new SWID and espn_s2, the same two values you gave us at signup. You don't need to disconnect the league or contact us.

Does my league need to sign up?

The show gets made either way — but without an account they can't hear it. Listening, making weekly picks, leaving feedback and sending ideas to the commissioner all need one.

Worth mentioning to them: Knox and Remy will be talking about their bench decisions whether they sign up or not. Joining is how they get to hear it — and how they get a say in what the hosts cover.

They join through an invite link from your dashboard.

We already drafted. Is it too late?

No. If you sign up after your draft you get a week from the day you join for your league to post reactions and season-long predictions before the draft show records — the window is measured from when you arrive, not from your draft date.

If the season has already started, there's no draft show — a recap of a draft everyone has moved on from isn't worth your first episode. You go straight to weekly recaps, and season-long predictions stay open.

Paying for it

What does it cost?

$150 for the season, per league. One payment, not a subscription that quietly renews mid-season.

Your draft show and your first weekly recap are free. You'll have heard two real episodes about your own league before you're charged anything.

I run two leagues. Do I pay twice?

Yes — $150 each. They're genuinely separate shows: own name, own settings, own free episodes, and they don't share content. Knox and Remy host both, and neither show mentions the other.

One account holds them both and you switch between them from the league name on your dashboard.

When am I charged?

Cancel free any time before September 16th and you pay nothing. After that you're charged once for the season.

By then you'll have had your draft show and your first weekly recap — you're deciding on the actual show rather than on a description of it.

Can managers see the billing?

No. Billing is commissioner-only. Managers never see what was paid or who paid it.

Who sees what

Who sees my rating of an episode?

Your commissioner, and us. Not the rest of the league.

It isn't anonymous to your commissioner — they see your name with it, because "spend less time on the standings and more on the actual matchups" is worth more when they know who said it.

It goes somewhere. Your commissioner can act on it directly by adding notes or editing next week's script, and we read the feedback across every league to keep improving the shows week over week.

Who sees what I post in the league feed?

That depends which you pick. A league post is visible to everyone in your league.

An idea for the show goes only to your commissioner — nobody else in the league can see it. They decide what makes the episode, so it may end up being read out.

What do you do with my ESPN cookies?

Store them, and use them to read your league each week. Nothing else. They're the only way to read a private ESPN league, and they're kept so you don't have to repeat the process every Tuesday.

You can replace them any time from Manage, and disconnecting the league removes them.

Still deciding?

Hearing an episode answers more than a page of questions does.
