Great pod

Great pod, love Kevin. Great data

Great listen

Love this podcast. Gives a different pov on the week and the league in general than I get anywhere else. New and interesting guests. And the numbers backing up his opinions are also very interesting.

The guy you’re listening to on Unexpected Points podcast gives money directly to an extremist rightwing nut job and one of the worst human beings of this generation. Unacceptable.
