BroPod
Markus Fjørtoft (@markusfjortoft) and Ciaran McKenna (@CiaranMcKenna8) are two professional footballers who share the same apartment, changing room, and Duke education and who have attempted to justify to themselves their three degrees by starting a podcast. In BroPod, they seek out those “crazy” enough to do things a little bit differently. With a diverse and compelling set of stories, they have a conversation with those that defy convention from the worlds of sports, media, finance, and politics. Find them @BroPod1 on Twitter. #beother
