Draft Queens

Two gals making sports and fantasy football more awesome for everybody. On “Draft Queens,” Kait and Michele tackle Fantasy Football start ‘em sit ‘em, the biggest sports headlines of the week, talk upcoming match-ups, fancy sports jargon, weekly sports culture + drama -- sometimes over a beer for their Drafts on Drafts segment -- and just generally make sense of all things going on in the wide world of sports. Whether you’re already a sports fan, or trying to become one, this show has something for you.
