Are there any shows similar to AFE that are flying under the radar at the moment? I was always peripherally aware of the show, but didn’t bat an eye. I finally became a fan in May of this year. Even if they occasionally shit on my hometown of Phoenix, Arizona, (it’s not that bad, you guys,) the concepts and personalities are unrivaled.

If you like the music drafts, Cool Playlist with friend of the pod Eliza Skinner has a similar concept. She has a different comedian guest on every week and they each pick 5 songs to put on a playlist for a specific event or feeling. If you want some good ones to start with, I really enjoyed "Stalking Teenagers at a Summer Camp" with Jordan Crucchiola, "Riding Into Battle" with Jon Gabrus, and Ian's ep "A Nighttime Flight". If you want a show with similar personalities, I think Twinnovation has a similar vibe. The concept is basically "stoner Shark Tank" and there's lots of good storytelling detours like on AFE.
Seconding the Cool Playlist suggestion, and the eps you listed, particularly the stalking teens at summer camp one. The Emily Gordon and Paul F Tompkins episodes were also really good.
I'm not sure this is what you're looking for, but the "Yeah, But Still" podcast is one of my newer favorites.
It looks good!
A friend of mine has a similar-ish podcast where they debate topics with 5 points. They actually did a draft episode with “best presidents” recently. Their last few eps are actually some of their best.
It’s called Your New Opinion, it’s part of the Project Entertainment Network of podcasts.

Hello, fellow Phoenician. Can concur. Phoenix is an alright place.
A highly ranked airport, some of the best Mexican food in the country, and renewable energy to boot
