Brilliant and unique
I love this podcast - refreshing and completely unique take on wrestling. I wasn't an obsessed fan and I still love/d this. Listen! Host does a good job too.
Great concept but
This is a good podcast with great intentions. I have a question. Why are the majority of the people talking about these social issues white men? like i can’t take there opinion seriously because there experiences don’t allign with the experiences of PoC or women wrestlers. That’s why the JTG show seems to be the best episode so far.
I also think that the Bill DeMott episode not mentioning anything about his history of alleged abuse. I don’t expect you to argue abuse culture with him, but not mentioning seems sketchy. I rated it 3, and when you get more diverse talents on the podcast i’ll rate it higher since you got a needed thing here going.
