Episode 26
We talk to the hilarious and fascinating Mark Donaldson, long-time ESPN commentator.
We talk to editing radio with a knife, the first team ever to beat the New York Cosmos and writing four sports books.
He tells us about his love for Hearts, the importance of Succession to the club’s growth, covering American sports as a Scotsman and who will be the next USMNT coach.
Fun, fascinating and nostalgic in equal measure.
