The Champs Podcast

The Champs Podcast is a comedy podcast hosted by Chappelle's Show  co-creator  
Neal Brennan and stand-up comedian Moshe Kasher. The comedians, who call themselves "The Champs," interview black comedians, journalists, musicians, actors and other minority entertainers.

Most of The Champs Podcast episode's are about 60-90 minutes and has vulgar language, explicit content, crude humor and it's brilliant. Some of the best interviews have been JB Smoove, Chris Rock, David Alan Grier and Too $hort. 

Older episodes featured a third member of The Champs named Doug Lussenhop, a.k.a DJ Douggpound, who would play sound effects during interviews. He explains in the Reggie Watts episode, recorded in April 2013, that he had to quit because he was "burnt out" after a year and a half on the podcast and making no money from it.

Kasher and Brennan have been fans of hip-hop and the culture behind it since they were growing up. Moshe Kasher, a small Jewish guy, was raised in Oakland, California. In Oakland, according to Kasher, black culture is the dominant culture, so he grew up in a black neighborhood and went to black schools. Neil Brennan co-created one of the best sketch shows of all time with Dave Chappelle and is now a stand-up comedian who recently released a comedy special called Women and Black Dudes, because Brennan says that's what most of his material is about. 

A wide variety of topics are covered in this podcast. From vulgar sex talk to race-relations, The Champs always seem to transition from one topic to another seamlessly. There are strong opinions and this show is definitely not politically correct. It's men talking to each other while there are no women around, hilarious. Brennan and Kasher make their guests feel relaxed and tell stories of life on the road, sexual conquests and racial issues. This is one of the best comedy podcasts on the internet and worth a listen.
