Fans Without Credentials is a Michigan-focused sports podcast built for casual fans who love their teams but don’t pretend to be experts. Hosted by two proudly unqualified, non-athletic fans, the show pokes elitist gatekeeping, overcooked analytics culture, and anyone who thinks fandom requires credentials.
To create a Michigan sports podcast where casual fans feel welcome, elitist gatekeeping is mocked, and nobody has to lie about having played at a high level.
Shayne Smith: Former band kid, lifelong fan, observer of vibes.
Tom Clementson: Career benchwarmer, enthusiastic instigator, professional watcher of sports.
