This Is David Young | Podcast Guru

Details

What are we doing? That's the question I keep asking About the price of a Blizzard. Picking up hitchhikers. Town hall meetings. This Is David Young: observational humor, sports, and a little motivation for people who notice the ridiculous stuff everyone else just accepts. Most episodes are just me: ranting about everyday absurdities, talking sports (mostly golf, basketball, and football), and saying the thing you might need to hear. Every so often I bring on someone worth listening to. It all comes back to the same idea: laugh at what's broken, then figure out how to do a little better. New episodes weekly.
