The Manuel Fontes Show
The Manuel Fontes Show explores a broad spectrum of topics, ranging from breaking news and current affairs to the newest movies, compelling comic books, the excitement of sports, and the constantly changing world of video games.With new episodes posted every day, my objective is to both entertain you and give a useful, bite-sized update on the stories and headlines worth noticing. I’d love for you to come along for the ride and share in the conversation.I try to weave humor throughout the show and aim to provide thoughtful — if informal — commentary. I’ll be honest: the research behind some segments may not always be exhaustive, but what I deliver is a genuine, unfiltered reaction and my honest opinion about what’s going on.

After following the podcast wars for the past three weeks, I’ve uncovered a dirty little secret that no one in the industry wants to discuss—except the host of The Graham Allen Show.
