Customer Reviews
Great potential
Just found this podcast and I like it. I love that it's WOC talking sports. From the episodes I've listened to so far, the content is good, but the conversations feel forced. I would like it to feel more relaxed and free. There's great potential here, I'll keep listening
Trash

A+
Highly recommended! I'm glad I subscribed.
