Postby ALizardInCrimson » Tue Oct 08, 2013 6:14 pm

I'm taking my life and or sanity in my hands asking here.

I"m doing this 1hr a day indoor rowing challenge thing and desperately need something to listen to.

I like some of the stuff on Riotcast (Bailey Jay Show, Robert Kelly's WKWD, Davey Mac Sports Show etc). It's not Radio 4 or the History Channel though.
