The PWI Podcast was launched in 2014 as a free supplement to Pro Wrestling Illustrated magazine. Since its inception, it has featured the same kind of high-quality coverage found in the pages of Wrestling’s #1 Magazine, only in an on-demand audio format. Currently co-hosted by Senior Writer Al Castle and Contributing Writer Brian Solomon, the show includes not only timely reactions and analysis of the wrestling industry, but also a wide range of interesting and entertaining guests, from champion wrestlers to top promoters.
