    I listened to two episodes of Why Sports Matter and I can’t wait to listen to more.

The quality of the audio was clean and professional, and the sound effects and music only added more value to the stories. I would recommend this to anyone who can hear because it’s fascinating. I give this podc... more

  • Very relatable

    I just listened to the first episode about mountain climbing and its dangers. I`m no mountain climber but as an athlete, i completely relate. It also helps the listener get a better understanding of some of the forces that drive them to play their sport regardless of the difficulties or the risks along the way.
