Congratulations Phil, congratulations Hannah. A thoroughly enjoyable and informative 20 minutes of podcasting. Well done. Especially well done. Terrific stuff.
Great stuff Phil and Hannah. Most enjoyable. Hannah, I love how you discovered some bloke called Simon Barnes. You are a good judge. Many people love his sportswriting.
Thanks also to Bruce.
Thanks for all the support! It was a great opportunity, I never thought anyone would ever be interested in talking to ME about SPORTS BOOKS !! Too much passion for one conversation, methinks.
And John, I discovered this bloke’s book at, of all places, a school fete. It might be one of the cheapest books I’ve ever purchased, but one of the richest in content. So glad I gave it a glance.
