Эпізод 88 – Memorial Day

У гэтым эпізодзе, I discuss why promoters liked to schedule big cards for holidays.

Update

The reach of the podcast continues to amaze me. Besides the United States, listeners have downloaded episodes in the Netherlands, Seychelles, Turkey, Canada, Германія, Finland, United Kingdom, Japan, Austria, Estonia, France, Ірландыя, and Poland. I will try to release more episodes going forward.

I have finished The Divided Championship Era. I will release it in the first or second week of June 2025.

I will be focusing on updating a second edition of Вуліца. Луіс’ Civil War: Трамвай Страйк 1900 before starting on my next combat sports project.
