2026 #30 – Big Fan: Two Friends, 81,589 Miles, and the Wild, Wonderful Sports We Love

By Joe Posnanski and Michael Schur

Sportswriter Joe and showrunner, actor, and writer Michael (hosts of the Poscast) go around the world to try to understand what makes “fandom” fandom. This is partially focused on sports, but wanders around to their kids Taylor Swift fandoms, Star Wars and other movies, TV shows, and all over the associated and overlapping merchandise and collectibles.

I enjoy Mike and Joe’s banter, I enjoy their individual writing. This book never truly answers the question, but tells a lot of great stories about why people are fans of what they love.
