I do a weekly podcast with my fiancé Solomia and we talk all things sports. My D.C. teams, her Cleveland teams, and our alma maters Virginia Tech and Maryland football and basketball. We bring on guests, including close friends and family members, to talk about their favorite teams as well. Anything goes, we will discuss or debate with anyone about any sports team.
