Tremendous storyteller, if I had one negative - I wish they were longer. Amazing mix of topics, highest recommendation
My absolute favorite podcast. Loved the one about UD as i was there at the same time!
How about covering all the Packers getting into trouble in the 1980s in small town Green Bay? James Lofton, Mossy Cade, etc.
