    I love the format you use and the added pods the college diary has been exceptional.

    I’m a AFL supporter but the talks with the League guys have been great and eye opening.

    Cheers

  • College Dairies fantastic!

    I have really enjoyed this story - Joe is so easy to listen to and understand, he makes me feel that I have been following college football for 20 years.

    I am really sorry it has come to an end, but I will now follow the Buckeyes progress through the season.

    Thanks so much for bringing this onto your platform.
