This podcast looks to discuss sports, but from a different aspect. Rather than talking about what goes on during the game itself, Central Time looks to delve into the environment, cultures and atmospheres surrounding sporting events around the world. Whether it be soccer in London or hockey in Chicago, we hope to provide a perspective on what sports mean to our communities — while also adding some humor, hopefully.
