Hall of Fame quarterback Brett Favre is making a new play off the field with the launch of his sports-centric podcast, 4th and Farve. The show, which debuted this week, teams Favre with filmmaker and author David Kano to break down the latest news, trends, and hot takes in the sports world.
Favre, who spent 20 seasons in the NFL, is widely regarded as one of the league’s most durable and accomplished quarterbacks. He played 302 regular-season games. The most in NFL history. He also led the Green Bay Packers to a Super Bowl victory in 1997, and won three consecutive MVP awards. Known for his leadership and ability to perform under pressure. Favre remains an iconic figure in football and a natural voice for sports commentary.
“I encounter Packer fans probably more than anything,” said Favre when asked about his following. “They’re probably the most loyal and and faithful fans anywhere. So, I’m going assume that’s probably more than anything why I’m still somewhat current. If you want to call it that.”
Joining Favre is David Kano, whose work as a filmmaker and author has focused on compelling storytelling and critical societal issues. Kano directed Concussed: The American Dream, a documentary examining the impact of CTE and sports-related head injuries. He also penned Hendo: The American Athlete, a memoir chronicling the life of two-time Olympic wrestler and first MMA double champion Dan Henderson.
Favre actually announced the podcast over a year ago on an Instagram post, but has finally released the first episode on YouTube.
Together, Favre and Kano aim to provide a mix of sports analysis, behind-the-scenes insights, and cultural context. According to the duo, 4th and Farve will explore topics ranging from NFL matchups and legendary players to broader conversations about health, media, and the evolving landscape of professional sports.
