Joseph,
I’m really impressed with the quality of your podcasts!
Subscribing to them. Thank you for doing such a great job, and with interesting and insightful topics.
Gives me one more way to expand my knowledge.
@DrFraser Thanks so much. The WiseAthletes podcast is a labor of love but it always feels good to receive a compliment. I appreciate it!
