The DCR Podcast is back with special guest Mark Brown. Host Connor MacKinnon and Mark go way back to when they started off as reporters at KTSW Sports at Texas State University.

Episode #6: Overtime Special

Been a while since there has been a solo episode for the DCR podcast, but here we are. Host Connor MacKinnon expresses his appreciation for the listeners and his future goals for the podcast. Recorded late, so maybe there is a rant about birthdays and just maybe there is a new podcast on the horizon... The last portion of the show discusses the latest NFL News (Cam Newton Signing / Washington Potential Name Change) and the latest NBA News (Victor Oldapio Sitting Out).
