WTI | Episode 27: Magadan ft. Misha Polenov

Whatever This Is

In this week's episode of WTI, we are joined by an extremely special guest: Match TV commentator and pundit Misha Polenov! To start, we asked Misha about his work, and inquired about things we'd noticed in some of his interviews.

After that, we somehow managed to discuss football for the remainder of the episode, touching on everything from Tambov, to football in the Far East, to Real Madrid's recent struggles.

Also, is Arshavin coming on the pod? Listen till the end and you'll find out ;-)
