    Interesting & insightful listening
    I have found Mark’s topics very interesting, & insightful to boot. Keep up the good work!
  • cbondpdx1
    Genius
    Authentic storytelling comes naturally for Mark. An openly biased USC/SF Giants homer does a good job of spanning sports, geographies, genders, etc. Go Mark!!!!
