Customer Reviews
If you want an energetic, intelligent pod... you’ve come to the right place
The Award Tour Podcast does a great job of making it a point to leave no stone unturned. Nwka and Bryan cover politics and sports and bring the heat. They are extremely knowledgable and I highly recommend this podcast to all sports fans and those who may want to learn a thing or two about politics.
The fact that both of them have great speaking voices is a sweetener on top of the content.
