Դրվագ 88 – Memorial Day
Podcast: Խաղալ նոր պատուհանում | Բեռնել
Այս դրվագ, 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, Գերմանիա, Finland, United Kingdom, Japan, Austria, Estonia, France, Ireland, 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 St. Louis’ Քաղաքացիական պատերազմի: The տրամվայ գործադուլի 1900 before starting on my next combat sports project.
