Thank you
Thank you for great content Aron
Def one of the top podcasts today
Stumbled upon Aron Harris Football Odyssey podcast when I was reading Michael MacCambridge’s phenom bio on Chuck Noll. Aron hosted him and while I sat, drank coffee Noll came to life through an excellent interview. Listening now to the Fouts interview. Like with Mac’s interview one gets a better understanding of this smart HOF QB, his unique background and how he was part of the seminal late 70’s, 80’s air offensive that is the norm today (thank Coryell for that). Harris’ has definitely done his homework in a hundred specific areas making the most of authors, players, and podcasters (like Greg James), researching issues in football that sports media doesn’t cover. Add this podcast to your iPod. Also visit Aron’s website; it’s a masterclass in football history.
