Social Replay

Social Replay

Hosted by Dalen Cuff & Chris Spatola Social Replay uses sports as the starting point to draw meaningful, often comedically relatable, connections between society, culture, and human nature. Hosted by Columbia University graduate and ESPN personality Dalen Cuff, and West Point graduate and ESPN college basketball analyst Chris Spatola, this podcast is Seinfeld meets Sportscenter. Each episode unpacks the latest sports headlines, but the real conversation begins when Cuff & Spatola pull back the curtain on the sports we love and ask the question, “So, what does this say about us?” Social Replay isn’t just another sports podcast —the conversation here starts with the game, but quickly veers into a more entertaining dive into how sports is both shaping and reflective of human nature. Tune in for deep dives, playful banter, latent cynicism and a refreshing nuance that’s unlike the conventional sports conversation.
