High Quality Podcast
★★★★★ in Apple Podcasts by FrothOverSport from Australia on October 30, 2017
I have been listening to Sports Geek for the past 18 months and while not involved in Sports Digital myself, I am heavily interested in the area. Sean's enjoyment and knowledge of sport and digital comes through in the podcast, which is highly motivating for me personally.
