The Riding the Bench Colts Podcast
Weekly Colts Podcast delivering passionate, in-depth coverage of the Indianapolis Colts — aimed to entertain as much as to inform — from game previews and postgame reactions to big-picture conversations about the roster, coaching, and the future of the franchise.
Hosted by Justin Aufiero, a lifelong Colts fan from New York on a mission to change the landscape of Colts media. An “unqualified” outsider’s perspective becoming a staple in Colts coverage. No credentials. No journalism. Just a deep-rooted connection to the Horseshoe and a drive to spark smarter Colts fans. This is a place to celebrate not only the Colts, but the game of football as a whole.

Indianapolis Colts LB Zaire Franklin has yet to record an episode of the Trenches this offseason, which is an observation that may be music to the ears of many Colts fans. With that said, I feel there’s an interesting discussion to be had here about the dynamic between NFL players and NFL fans, or in this case, Zaire Franklin and Colts fans. Let’s talk about it!
