In a world which is rather getting full of negativity, especially the world of sports, I just thought it will be a nice idea to bring some positivity into the world.
That logic strongly applies to the world of sports, where every swing of bat, foot, hand, head, mouth, and even thoughts of the brain are scrutinised. Sometimes, bringing the worst out in a fan.
On this pod, you will hear news, and facts, and moments that sometimes we chose to ignore. The world is far from perfect, but it is also far from doomsday.
