Hi everyone! This is episode one of a limited-run podcast with Jeff Krisko from the Football Absurdity Podcast, Tony Martin from the THfantaC Podcast, and Waleed Ismail & Evan Hoovler from the Mock Taps on Draft Livestream (from the Football Absurdity YouTube page)!

The goal of this series is to get you from a fantasy football snake-draft player to an auction-draft player, and it will cover everything from how an auction works to exploiting the psychological weaknesses of your leaguemates to dominate them.

In this episode, we provide you with an introduction to the format.
