Talkin Jacks Finale

Talkin Jacks Finale

Ben, Chris, and ALEX!!!! Record one last episode to say thanks and goodbye to their listeners and podcasting about the Charlotte Independence. We had a blast reminiscing (Its not a clip show, promise) and talk about what their outlooks on soccer are going forward. Thanks to everyone who listened to us through the ups and downs the last 4 years! The pod may be over, but you can still follow all three of these guys on twitter to see what they are up to next. Alex: @AlexWarren55 Ben: @TheSoccerGoose Chris: @ThatChrisDavis Also as editor of this pod, I took the liberty to have two selfish ads for my other podcast, Question with Chris & Pris which you can find links to at Anchor.fm/Questionpod Follow us at @ChrisNPris on instagram and twitter.
