Now I can keep up with the boys

I need a lot of help when it comes to sports. I like them, but I don’t know how to keep up with all the teams, seasons, sports etc. I found this podcast and I love it. The host gives you just the right dose of insight to help you keep up with conversations at work or with the boys- very happy to have found this! Now I can talk sports!
