If you do only one thing as a Vols fan today . . .
. . . follow friend of the blog Josh Ward from his old podcast digs at SEC Country (which is shutting down) to his new Rocky Talk Podcast feed at SoundCloud.
Josh is really good at what he does, and his podcasts are conveniently bite-sized yet information-packed news bits about the Vols without the downsides of radio (excessive ads, lack of ability to time-shift the content to a schedule that works for you, etc.) Plus, he’s just a good guy. So do him a favor and be sure to migrate over to his new Rocky Talk Podcast feed with him.
