Love the Podcast!
I love hearing about the stories behind baseball’s best logos and designers. My passion for logos culminated in the creation of my website, GlobalLeagueShop.com. Paul, perhaps my shop can support your podcast and the broader Curved Brim Media network. Please let me know! I’d love to talk with you.
