Sports Geek Podcast by the numbers
Thanks for the review on iTunes
Bringing out your inner Sportsgeek
in iTunes by Lukeysi from Australia on November 27, 2015
Stumbled across this podcast over the last month and have now gone back and listened to over most of the episodes. I haven't listened to one where I haven't learning something new and been inspired… I even had a tear listening to episode 74. I look forward to meeting Sean at some point over the next few years and attending SEAT myself!
