Ailish Forfar is fabulous. Tremendous talent at this genre. Such an endearing personality as well. Justin is a good foil but Ailish carries the show.

Unfortunately, I am unable to listen live, but I do make sure to listen to at least one hour of the the Podcasts everyday. I think Ailish and Justin trade analysis bits nicely and seem to listen to what the other is saying. Spoiler alert: They get married and have 4 kids (one playing each of the 4 major sports). Just kidding, not kidding, of course 😉 Top shelf content and delivery.
Good Show
