In this week's Sports Geek Podcast we have a good chat with Christine Stoffel from SEAT about SEAT Conference and announce SEAT Conference as presenting partner of the Sports Geek Podcast, we look forward to seeing you in Kansas City in August. On HarfTime we discuss the darker side of Twitter where fans can get very ugly as we take a look at some of the abuse newly crowned Marion Bartoli received this week.
More specifically, in this podcast you’ll find out about:
- How SEAT started 7 years ago
