Run That Back is a sports talk show with a dash of comedy. Correspondents from across the region and around the world will join us to talk about their favorite teams, special sports events, and personal histories. Mostly, we will find guidance from the words of that great sports philosopher Rasheed Wallace: “Both teams played hard.” This is indie sports radio.
