  • Excellent Podcast for Sports

    As a fun of sports, this is one of my favorite podcasts. Could you talk about more about Tennis, F1, Snooker (yes you have already talked about them a lot!). June and July are the match time for Slams. Also, can you introduce your hosts a little bit more? I really like the female host in the previous episodes, but I don’t know her name. Thanks!
