Perfect Mix of Geek and Sports Culture

Lee and Ray are true professionals in all that this show is; broadcasters by trade, sports fans and geeks for life.

Extremely glad the show is back after hiatus and can’t wait to hear more!

5 star

What else could your average Joe ask for? A show about sports and geek media. Ray and Lee are a dynamic duo as hosts and keep it fun and entertaining. Also they leave a detail layout of the episode on what points they are hitting so you can choose where you want to listen if something doesn’t interest you, which I find pretty useful.
