Enjoyed the first interview! Really reflects what a sports town Boston is.
The authors really open up to JD! It’s fascinating to hear the stories behind their stories - in their own words. I’m hooked, keep ‘em coming!
Loved the first episode, can’t wait to hear upcoming guests.
For a first offering I was very impressed by the pod. Always interesting to listen to folks who enjoy what they do discuss the ins and outs of their craft.
In the near future this should be go to podcast for writing students of anyone interested in sports in general.
Looking forward to more!
