50 Episodes of the MWA Podcast
50 Episodes of the MWA Podcast
We are excited to have reached our 50th episode here on the MWA Podcast! We started the podcast as a review of Tommy Macs book 2 years ago and just kept going. We could not have continued without the support of our listeners and thank you all for the wonderful support you have given us. For our 50th episode the thought it couldnt be more fitting than to go back to the beginning and bring Tommy onto the show. We hope you enjoy the show and thanks again for listening.
