Thank you!!!
I’ve only wanted 2 changes 1 of which you did...shout outs at the end of the episode instead of the start and the only other thing I would change is how often. I could listen to you break down wvu sports all day everyday. More podcasts please and the longer the better. Love the podcast thanks for everything you do. Looking forward to the next one....
