This is one of the most engaging and entertaining podcasts I have listened to in a while.
I can get hot takes for sports anywhere, but this podcast truly uses sports as a vehicle for larger conversations. Hence, the question, is it really about sports or larger issues? The answer is both and I love that.
Apple Podcasts5ImrichbtchUnited States5 years ago - Great topic discussions
They hit all the topics with serious discussion (and humor) relative to sports, politics, social causes, but with a good balance of all of them.
It’s like you’re in the barbershop, where most conversations like those usually take place.
Recommended!
