Reviews

4.1 out of 5 stars from 223 ratings
  • Content is borderline at best. It's supposed to be a sports podcast & this episode is talking about tequila. For the most part, even on the interesting topics, it is just boilerplate Q&A where nothing insightful is ever offered. Also, the content itself is basically an ad, + the ads are ads. So, a lot of ads.
