A great listen whether or not you follow football closely

I really enjoyed the history of San Diego and loved the story flow. As someone who doesn't follow football very closely, the podcast laid out the background perfectly and kept me flowing with the narrative the entire time. This story is seriously compelling. 5 stars

The best podcast!

I love this podcast! As a semi new chargers fan (I’m 16 btw) it’s a great way to learn about the legends as well as keeping me up to date on news! Totally recommend this podcast!
