Customer Reviews
Very good!
Wish Grapes got more time to talk
Total disapointment
I just listened to the first one. They should call it "Brian Williams talks to himself."
Grapes gets in about 1 sentence in for every 50 or so sentences Williams puts out.
GREAT PODCAST!
This is a great podcast to listen to about sports, and other things that Don Cherry likes to talk about.
