Listening to “Not The Footy Show’ is like a degustation meal, the courses, in this case the sports just keep coming, and the quality is superb. Tonight’s show is no different.
Except that if you miss it this week because you have training, or it’s your partner’s birthday, you can listen to our podcast tomorrow! Be sure to tell your friends to go back through their newsletters and pick out the interviews they missed.
