If Coach ever heard what we were actually thinking (or drinking), we'd be running. "Running Poles" is a softball, baseball, ball sports, and other sport where honesty is always the best policy. Your hosts, Maren, a "real" journalist, and T, a member of the Israeli National "Softball Team" want our guests to air out their dirty laundry of playing (or watching) athletics. This is a podcast where Coach would have made you run poles for thinking what we are saying.
