Worth a Listen: 10 Podcasts for New England Sports Fans
By Joshua Smith
Around here, sports are never just sports. They are what we talk about at the diner, at work, in the truck, at the transfer station, and sometimes even when we swore we were not going to bring up the Patriots again. This week’s podcast list is for New England fans who follow the Red Sox, Celtics, Bruins, Patriots, college teams, and the whole wonderful mess of Boston sports.
