Great new episode of @offcourtpod in the free feed! We talk about issues in Canadian sports media with the great @woodleysean. Was awesome interviewing someone I've been listening to for such a long time.

[The Off Court Podcast @offcourtpod]

S2E10 - Sports Media with @woodleysean

@RabbiDieHardman and @socialistraptor chat with Sean Woodley about the hierarchy and needs of Canadian sports media. What does it do right? Wrong? In what ways is it failing us, and in what ways could it be better?
